RV Solar Panel Installation
Off-Grid Power Specialists
Custom RV Solar Systems — Designed for How You Travel.
California Camper Repair designs and installs complete RV solar power systems for all types of RVs and camper vans. Whether you want a simple 200W setup to keep your batteries topped off at camp or a full off-grid array with lithium batteries and an inverter-charger, we'll build a system sized for your actual power needs.
Our technicians handle every part of the job — panel mounting, charge controller wiring, battery bank installation, inverter integration, and system testing. We use quality components from Victron, Renogy, Battle Born, and other trusted brands.
Every install is done cleanly and correctly. No exposed wiring, no undersized cables, no shortcuts. Your RV leaves our shop looking factory-finished and ready for the road.

What We Install
From a single panel to a complete off-grid power system — we handle the whole job.
Rooftop Solar Panel Installation
Rigid and flexible panel mounting on any RV roof type. Properly sealed and weatherproofed to prevent leaks.
MPPT & PWM Charge Controllers
Correct controller sizing and installation for maximum charging efficiency and battery protection.
Lithium Battery Upgrades
Replace heavy lead-acid batteries with lightweight, long-life lithium (LiFePO4) battery banks for more usable capacity.
Battery Monitors & Displays
Know your exact state of charge with a Victron or Renogy battery monitor installed at your panel.
Inverter & Inverter-Charger Integration
Run AC appliances off your battery bank with a properly sized pure sine wave inverter wired into your system.
System Wiring & Upgrades
Clean, code-compliant 12V and AC wiring. We also upgrade undersized factory wiring that limits your system's performance.
Solar + Starlink Combos
Pair your solar system with a Starlink installation so your power and internet are both covered off-grid.
System Diagnosis & Repair
Existing solar system underperforming? We'll diagnose the issue — panels, controller, wiring, or batteries — and fix it.
System Sizing
How Much Solar Do You Need?
The right system size depends on how you use your RV and what you want to power. We calculate your daily power consumption — including startup surge loads — and design a system that meets it without over-building.
Lights, phone charging, fans, water pump, and keeping batteries topped off at camp.
Add a 12V refrigerator, laptop, TV, and moderate daily use without shore power.
Full off-grid living — microwave, coffee maker, CPAP, and extended boondocking.
