Frequently asked questions about solar & electrical installers
How much does a solar system for a caravan cost?›
A basic 200W solar setup with a single 100Ah battery costs around $1,500–$2,500 installed. A full lithium off-grid system (400–600W panels, 200–300Ah lithium, inverter, DC-DC charger) ranges from $4,500 to $9,000 installed depending on brand and complexity.
What size solar system do I need for my caravan?›
For weekend trips with basic 12V use, 200W of solar and a 100Ah AGM battery is enough. For free camping with a fridge, lights and charging, plan for 400W solar and 200Ah lithium. Full off-grid living with induction cooking or air-con needs 600W+ and 300Ah+ lithium plus an inverter.
Lithium vs AGM batteries for caravans — which is better?›
Lithium (LiFePO4) is lighter, lasts 8–10× longer, accepts faster charging and gives you full usable capacity. AGM is cheaper upfront but heavier and only ~50% usable before damage. Most installers now recommend lithium for any new build — payback is typically 3–4 years.
Is my solar installer licensed?›
12V DC work generally does not require an electrical licence in Australia, but anything 240V (inverters wired into the van's AC circuits, or grid-tied) must be done by a licensed electrician. Always confirm credentials and ask for a certificate of compliance for AC work.
