SOLAR POWER

Solar power is the conversion of renewable energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination.

Yes. While solar panels are more effective with direct sunlight, BougeRV solar panels will produce electricity on cloudy days and in shade. If you are using it in an area with limited sunlight, we recommend our new flexible, solar panels.

BougeRV recommends reviewing your electricity bills from the past 12 months to determine your energy consumption.

Solar panels collect sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. The electrical energy is then stored in batteries. 

The cost depends on your electricity requirements and energy consumption. We offer solar panel starter kits or you can purchase items separately. For example, in the 400W solar system, approximate costs will include:
400W 12-volt solar panel starter kit for $800
Or you can purchase items separately
400W solar panel $500
MPPT solar charge controller $150
12V / 100 Ah battery $50
Cables and accessories up to $200

Efficiency is determined by a number of factors. Previously the average efficiency of solar panels was around 15%. Advancements in photovoltaic technology and materials can increase efficiency by more than 20%. Our new flexible, solar panels provide the best efficiency.
