This article provides basic information about the solar panels that may be installed on the coach.
Solar Power
Solar Power Overview
If your coach is equipped with a 5 or 10 watt solar panel, it charges the chassis batteries when exposed to sunlight. Larger
solar panels (optional equipment on select coaches) may also charge the house battery bank.
The solar panel is regulated to charge automatically and
should be cleaned as needed for the most efficient light
absorption. The following is an example of how the system
may charge the batteries based on battery voltage. For
example, if the chassis batteries are above 12.7 volts direct
current, the solar panel may provide less charge.
•
12.7 Volts = 100% of Battery Charge
•
12.4 Volts = 75% of Battery Charge
•
12.2 Volts = 50% of Battery Charge
•
12.0 Volts = 25% of Battery Charge
•
11.9 Volts = 0% of Battery Charge
It is important to note that the system may not
indicate a charge any time it is exposed to sunlight.
The built-in “regulator” will only allow the system to
charge the chassis batteries when their voltage is
low.

This article provides an overview of the transfer switch and the integrated surge protector.
The transfer switch allows your coach to be powered
by more than one power source, while only allowing
one active power source connection at a time. When
the generator is turned on, this switch automatically
transfers to generator power.
Surge protection was used on select coaches to protect
the coach from power surges during storms and poor
shore power conditions from the incoming shore
power connection. Today, most transfer switches have
integrated surge protection.
There will be a slight delay between the start of the
generator and the electrical connection. This delay
allows the generator to reach normal operating speed
without needing to supply a required load. When the
unit is plugged into shore power, an audible click will be
heard in the transfer switch box. The sound is normal
and indicates that the relay inside the transfer switch is
engaging the outside power source.

Product(s): This information is associated with more than one product.
Refer to Newgle for more information about the product(s) offered for
your coach’s model year.
Due to the risk of electrical shock, service should
be performed by a qualified electrican or authorized
service technician. The electrical system may have
multiple 120/240 volt power sources. All power
sources must be turned off, and any auto generator
start features must be disabled prior to servicing.
WARNING
!
After market surge protection placed at the shore power
supply source is an optional product, which provides an
increased layer of surge protection. However, it is not
required or installed by Newmar.
