RV Solar Installation & Repair in Sarasota, FL

Solar done right means you stop worrying about the pedestal. Solar done badly means undersized wire, a controller that never charges properly and roof penetrations that leak.

We install and repair RV solar systems with the wiring, mounting and sealing done to last.

We come to you — campground, storage lot, driveway or dealership overflow.

About rv solar installation & repair in Sarasota

A solar setup is only as good as its weakest link, and on RVs that's almost always the wiring and the mounting — not the panels. Undersized cable, poor connections and unsealed roof penetrations cause most of the problems we're called out to fix.

We size the system to how you actually camp, mount panels securely, seal every penetration properly, and set the charge controller for the battery chemistry you're running. Lithium and lead-acid want very different settings, and getting that wrong shortens battery life fast.

We also repair existing systems — dead controllers, panels that stopped producing, inverters that won't carry a load, and the classic case of a system that was installed cheap and never worked right.

RV Solar Installation & Repair FAQs

How much solar do I need?

It depends on what you run and how long you go between hookups. We'd rather talk through your actual usage than sell you a number off a chart.

Will drilling into my roof cause a leak?

Not when it's sealed correctly. Roof work is a big part of what we do, and every penetration gets sealed the same way we'd seal a vent.

Can you fix a system someone else installed?

Yes. A good share of our solar work is correcting undersized wiring and misconfigured controllers.
