We were pleased to find Sovran has an interesting and instructive Home Page which many RVers will find helpful in considering the potential of solar power as an additional power source for their RVs. While RVers Online does not endorse specific products or services, or accept paid advertising, we do favor bringing to our Online RVers information about products and services which can be explored here on the Internet. We wish to thank Suzanne Price, and her colleagues at Sovran, for their contribution to the subject of RV solar options.
Solar energy is simply energy that has been generated by the sun.
Think of solar energy as your own personal utility company. Once the solar energy is transformed into electricity it must be stored, ready for use. That is where batteries come in. Batteries store the energy until it is needed. In summary, the solar panel charges your batteries which in turn supply the electricty as you need it.
