RV & Caravan Solar Installations Designed for Off-Grid NZ Travel
Custom solar systems for motorhomes and caravans, professionally installed at our Christchurch workshop to deliver reliable off-grid power in New Zealand conditions.
Custom Solar Solutions for Real NZ Travel
Most factory solar systems fitted to motorhomes and caravans are undersized and not designed for real off-grid travel in New Zealand. Whether you're heading out for a weekend escape or planning extended freedom camping, a properly designed and installed solar system delivers more reliable power, fewer compromises, and greater independence.
At RV Solutions, we design and install custom solar solutions for motorhomes, caravans and campers at our Christchurch workshop. Every system is tailored to your power needs, battery capacity and travel style, ensuring you get the right performance in New Zealand conditions — not guesswork or generic kits.

When you choose RV Solutions for your solar installation, we take a system-based approach to ensure your RV's electrical power truly meets your needs — now and into the future.
Every solar installation begins with a thorough assessment of your current setup, including roof space, battery bank, charge controller and expected usage. We then design a solution that balances panel size, controller capacity, wiring protection and integration with your existing electrical system.
Key parts of our solar service include:
- System design and sizing: We calculate how much solar you need based on your appliances, lifestyle and travel habits.
- Panel selection and mounting: From fixed high-efficiency panels to flexible options for tight roof space, we install panels with secure mounts and correct roof penetrations.
- Charge controller setup: We use the right controller type (typically MPPT) to maximise power harvest and protect your battery bank.
- Integration with batteries and inverters: Your solar system is not an island — it's built around your existing or upgraded battery and inverter setup.
- Testing and commissioning: Before we hand your vehicle back, we test every component under load to ensure reliable performance.
Not sure how much solar you need? We'll help you understand the trade-offs between panel size, charging speed and battery capacity so you get a system that works for you. And if you're expanding an existing system, we can integrate new panels or components alongside what you already have — reducing waste and maximising value.
