Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
What do you get when you put 2 jumbo batteries, 5 solar panels, an inverter, and a charge controller on wheels? This RV, that’s what! With the components stated, any space, mobile or otherwise, becomes its own microgrid. While this guy is still not quite able to fully and indefinitely power itself with the sun, it can provide several hours of refrigeration, air conditioning, and other amenities without any hook-ups. Here’s how we figured out some of the tricky elements of getting a Class-C RV outfitted for solar.
