WHAT IS THE BEST SOLAR KIT FOR MY CAMPER OR MOTORHOME?
Yes, it's a minefield selecting your solar kit. Hopefully our Solar Shack page will gently guide you through the basics.
Why Small Solar Kits Aren’t Enough Anymore
When it comes to off-grid power for your campervan or motorhome, small 100 W solar kits just don’t cut it anymore, they were designed for the past, not the future.
A few lights and a USB charger? Sure. But what about your 12 V fridge, TV, water pump, laptops, Wi-Fi router, or those “forgotten” gadgets — fairy lights, projectors, even power-hungry packs like Jackery, EcoFlow, or Bluetti… not to mention mobility scooters and e-bikes?
At Solar Shack, our 325 W Solar Kit is the most popular choice because it gives you real off-grid freedom — the confidence to run everything you need without worrying about draining your leisure battery.
Small Solar Kits (100 W – 140 W): Yesterday’s Standard
Many online suppliers still promote 100 W–140 W panels as “standard camper kits.” While they’ll trickle-charge a leisure battery and power a few lights or USB sockets, they simply don’t keep up with real-world van life. It’s like comparing your fast phone charger at home with that painfully slow airport USB socket — it’ll work eventually, but why wait when you could have all the power you need, right now?
