🌥️Power for Everyday Life
- Rated Power: The appliance’s nominal power; use this value as a reference for sizing solar panels or inverters (peak power)
- Daily Energy: Estimated daily energy consumption (Wh); useful for calculating solar system and battery requirements.
- Voltage / Current: Provided for reference, to assist with power calculations or checking compatibility.
- Disclaimer: Actual power consumption may vary depending on the specific model and operating conditions.
How It Works
Step 1: Locate your solar controller's specs:
Maximum PV Input Voltage,
Maximum Charging Current,
Maximum PV Input Power
Step 2: Compare with our solar
panel key specifications:
Maximum Power(W),
Open Circuit Voltage VOC(V),
Maximum Power Current Imp(A)
For more complete system setup instructions, please refer to the article:How to Choose a Perfect Solar Panel
1. The total Open Circuit Voltage (VOC) of your solar panel array < Your controller's Maximum PV Input Voltage
2. The total Maximum Power Current Imp(A) of your solar panel array < Your controller's Maximum Charging Current
3. The total Rated Power (W) of your solar panel array < your controller's Maximum PV Input Power

📚Expert Tips for Smarter Solar Use
You can mix and match any solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, batteries and accessories to create a custom off-grid system tailored to your Class B Van.
Step 1 – Assess Your Needs
Determine how you intend to use your Class B Van: weekend trips or full-time living. Identify the appliances you plan to run (fridge, lighting, fan, coffee maker, etc.) and the duration of off-grid use. This will help establish your energy requirements and the appropriate system size.
Step 2 – Select a Power System
A reliable solar power system is fundamental for Class B Van life. Core components include:
- Solar panels (rigid or flexible for van roofs)
- MPPT charge controller
- Battery bank (12V, 24V, or 48V depending on setup)
- Inverter and essential solar accessories
Step 3 – Build or Customize Your Setup
You can mix and match panels, controllers, inverters, and accessories to optimize for your roof space, energy consumption, and future upgrades. If you are unsure about compatibility, consider using BougeRV solar kit or refer to professional installation guidelines to save time and ensure reliability.
Step 4 – Install and Go
Most Class B Van solar systems are DIY-friendly. After installation, test your system, monitor daily power usage, and enjoy energy independence during your travels.
The total output depends on the panels and devices you choose.
For example:A 400W solar kit can generate up to 400 watts of power under ideal conditions (full sun, optimal angle, and no shading).
- Daily energy output depends on sunlight hours:
For example, 5 peak sun hours/day → 400W × 5h ≈ 2 kWh/day - This can power small appliances, lights, fans, or charge a battery system for your Class B van.
- Actual output may vary with weather, season, and installation angle.
Our latest ArchPro solar panels feature cutting-edge solar cell technology along with anti-shading design, ensuring stable power output even under partial shading. Resistant to hotspot effects, they deliver reliable energy in real-world conditions.
Expandable System:
Our solar kit is fully expandable. You can add more panels, batteries, or accessories to meet your growing energy needs.
⚠️ Compatibility Reminder:
Before adding components, ensure that your charge controller, battery bank, and inverter can handle the total number of solar panels you plan to install. This ensures safe and efficient operation of your system.
