Adding solar power to your RV frees you up from hookups and opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Here's what you need to know before you invest.

What We Looked For Our goal was to find a set of portable solar panels capable of charging our 4,082 Wh power station in a reasonable amount of time (it requires roughly ten hours of direct sunlight).

The powertrain also features a vehicle-to-load function, so it can power your house as a battery, and there are even solar panels on the roof that can top up the pack during the hours of daylight.

If you're looking to decide between rigid and flexible solar panels for your RV, having all the information helps.
