Section 6: Electrical System
Solar Panel
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.
Controller
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 Firefly Vegatouch touchscreen.
Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual in your warranty packet for more detailed
information.
Maintenance
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.
For additional information, refer to the manufacturer’s manuals for the controller and
monitor.
Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your
recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding
these components.
