Solar Prep
Your motor home is equipped with a roof mount solar panel
quick connection. This allows a (customer purchased) solar
panel to be installed permanently on the roof. Installation will
consist of the solar panel(s), regulator and wiring/fusing be-
tween the regulator and batteries. There are no other solar plugs
for portable solar panels on the vehicle.
The (black ABS) solar prep box is located in a basement com-
partment of the RV and is marked with a solar prep label (in-
dicating wire colors and polarity). There is also an additional
label indicating the RV is wired for solar.
When connected, the solar panel will supply power to the bat-
tery and the battery will supply power to all the 12V systems
as needed.
Solar Panel (if so equipped)
Solar panels produce 12-volt DC electricity when exposed to sunlight. Energy produced by
the solar panels is used to charge the house auxiliary and chassis batteries.
The controller is capable of charging two battery banks – house and chassis. A status LED
indicates connectivity of batteries. Battery charging and operating parameters are adjusted
using the Firey Vegatouch touchscreen.
Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual in your warranty packet for more detailed
information.
Clean the solar panel upper surface regularly using a soft cloth or sponge with water and a
mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the pan-
els’ upper translucent surface.
Adding solar panels or equipment will aect the carrying capacity of your
recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding
these components.
