Michael came out to our fifth wheel on a Tuesday morning to diagnose a dead 12-volt system. Turned out the converter had failed and a bad ground was draining the batteries. He replaced both, rewired the ground, and tested every circuit in the rig. Fair price, solid work.Robert K.October 2025

What Is RV Solar Installation?
RV solar installation covers sizing and mounting roof panels, wiring them to an MPPT charge controller, integrating with your battery bank (often a lithium upgrade at the same time), and tying the whole system into the existing 12V and inverter loads so it works alongside shore power and the generator.
Because it is mobile, the work happens wherever the rig is sitting. There is no drop-off window, no shop queue, and no waiting for a service department to fit you in. That matters most on the failures that make a rig unusable, which in this category is the majority of what we are called for.
When Do You Need RV Solar Installation?
These are the symptoms that bring people to this page. If you recognise one of them, the system needs a look before it takes something else with it.
- You want to camp off grid without running the generator
- Batteries never fully recover between trips
- Existing panels were installed but output looks wrong
- You are upgrading to lithium and need charging changed to match
- Shore power is unreliable at your usual sites
Our Process
Every job follows the same five steps, in the same order, whether it is a twenty minute fix or a full day.
- Describe the symptom. Call 772-356-1760 and tell us what the rig is doing. We give you a likely cause and a ballpark range before we come out.
- On-site diagnosis. We test rather than guess. Parts get replaced because a measurement said so, not because it is the usual suspect.
- Firm quote. You get an exact price for the actual fault before any work starts, and you are free to decline at that point.
- Repair on site. The truck carries the common parts for this service, so most jobs are completed during the same visit.
- Test and hand back. We run the system under load, confirm the fault is gone, and walk you through what failed and why before we leave.

What Our Customers Say
4.8 stars from 189+ reviews across Indian River and Brevard counties.
Our travel trailer had a persistent leak under the kitchen sink that two other shops couldn't find. Michael traced it to a hairline crack in the cold water line behind the wall. Fixed it in under two hours and didn't charge us for the diagnosis since the other shops had already failed. Honest guy.Sarah T.January 2026
Called Fellsmere RV Repair about our slideout that wouldn't retract. Michael drove out the same afternoon, found a worn gear in the motor assembly, and had it replaced within three hours. The slideout runs smoother now than it did when we bought the rig. Highly recommend.James M.February 2026
RV Solar Installation Questions
A 100W to 200W starter system runs $680 to $1,240 installed. A 400W array is $1,450 to $2,480 and a 600W or larger system is $2,300 to $4,100. Design and site assessment is $95 to $160 and comes off the install price.
A starter system takes 4 to 6 hours. A 400W array is a 6 to 9 hour day. Larger systems, or an install combined with a lithium upgrade and inverter integration, run 1 to 2 days.
It depends on your daily amp-hour draw, not the size of the rig. Most weekend users are comfortable at 200W to 400W, while full-timers running a residential fridge usually need 600W or more. The site assessment measures your actual draw first.
No, solar works with lead acid, but lithium roughly doubles the usable capacity of the same rated bank and accepts charge much faster, so it gets far more out of the same array. Most owners upgrading past 400W do both together.
Only with a large array, a substantial lithium bank, and a soft start on the AC unit. For most rigs solar is sized to cover lights, pumps, the fridge, and electronics, and the generator or shore power still handles air conditioning.
Panel mounting and sealing on the roof, wiring to an MPPT charge controller, battery bank connection with proper fusing, integration with existing 12V and inverter loads, commissioning with measured charge output, and a walkthrough of the monitor.
Yes, and it is a common call. Undersized wiring, a PWM controller where MPPT was needed, missing or wrong fusing, and panels wired in a series and parallel mix that fights shading are the four issues we find most.
