Do these chilly November days have you dreaming about living off-grid in a warm, sunny spot in your favorite place this winter? You are not alone. Since spring of 2021, millions of people have hit the road to find their new, remote, happy place — whether it’s adventuring across the continent, setting up a mobile office on a beach within yards of your next kayaking session, perching your renovated bus on top of a mountain near your favorite ski resort, or nesting in a spectacular boondocking spot in the Sonoran desert. Whatever environment brings you joy, Renogy will light the way with some awesome holiday deals to dig into your solar DIY project this winter!

Maybe it’s time to upgrade your batteries with high efficiency 100Ah or 200Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate? In addition to a lifespan of 2000 cycles and an 80% depth of discharge, these newly launched LFP batteries include Bluetooth technology which allows you to monitor your battery charge status directly via Renogy’s DC Home app, eliminating the need for a separate battery monitor. Or, if you prefer to power a small mobile office with a Renogy Power Station, the Phoenix 300 combined with a 50W E.Flex Portable Panel will give you the portable power you need to charge a laptop, phone, C-PAP, and other small mobile devices. The Phoenix is a small, lightweight all-in-one Power Station which charges via solar, a wall outlet, or car utility port. It boasts a 337 Wh capacity with 2 AC outlets, multiple USB ports, 12V utility port, and T-Dap port.

In addition to the Sneak Peek Sale going on now, prices on Renogy customer favorites will soon be dropping like autumn leaves on a chilly November day, so mark your calendars for deals on some of Renogy’s best selling products — EVERYTHING from solar panels and batteries to inverters and DC to DC chargers! Check out the list below for products that will help you get your DIY groove on…

SOLAR PANELS

Solar Suitcases

These portable “plug and play” panels will get you started with solar immediately. They also complement an existing roof top system by adding a little boost to your batteries when you are parked in the shade or on a low sun day. In addition to our permanently mounted flexible roof top panels, we’ve used a solar suitcase in a variety of situations for many years now.

Solar Panels & Solar Starter Kits

If you are planning to build out your rig with solar, or simply add solar to your RV so that you can break away from the electric hook-up at a campsite or gas powered generator, these awesome deals will make your solar savings account go even further!

Don’t know how many panels you’ll need? Our Solar 101 video will help you calculate your energy demands, size your system correctly, as well as walk you through the benefits of each style of panel. Learn about the pros and cons of different panel styles in this article that compares rigid and flexible panels.

CHARGE CONTROLLER

The Rover Li 40A 12-24V MPPT Charge Controller is one of Renogy’s best sellers. It is perfect to monitor a mid-sized 12V or 24V system with any type of deep cycle battery. With a 40A maximum input, this charger can handle up to 700W of input power coming from your panels. The MPPT technology transfers the excess voltage from the panels to boost the charging amps going to your battery, reducing charging time significantly. To learn more about how charge controllers work and how your system can benefit from MPPT technology, check out our Solar 101 video.

DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES

Looking for a high quality, lower cost battery to replace your heavy, old, lead acid, but you’re not quite ready to make the Lithium leap? AGM and Gel batteries are a great choice, especially if you need to mount them sideways to make them fit your space or plan to store them outside your living space in a battery box. To determine the deep cycle battery which best fits your system, lifestyle, and pocket book, check out our Cost Benefit Analysis of 4 Deep Cycle Batteries.

INVERTERS

If you have a mid-to-large sized rig and need to convert DC power to AC to run multiple electric appliances at the same time (e.g., coffee maker, fridge, TV, lights, water heater, and more), check out the deals on these 2000W and 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverters. To size an inverter to fit your energy needs, check out our Solar 101 video.

DC to DC BATTERY CHARGERS

If you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, making a small investment in a DC to DC battery charger to top off your battery bank will make boondocking a cinch. While driving, you can boost the charge coming from your alternator and use it to top off your house battery bank so that your batteries will be full when you arrive at camp. We helped Hutch’s father install a DC to DC charger in their Winnebago last year, and they love it! Aren’t sure if the 20A, 40A, or 60A is right for you? Check out the charts in this helpful article to size and select a DC to DC charger that meets your energy needs, lifestyle, and system set-up.

DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN?

If you are brand new to solar and looking for some help with unscrambling the terminology of it all, we have resources to help you get started — from how-to videos and blogs to one-on-one DIY consultation for beginners. As educators, we love to empower people to overcome the challenges of a DIY project! We’ve helped thousands of people across the country design and install their own solar powered system…and there’s nothing like a challenging project to keep your spirits high when the outside temps are dropping below freezing. 

In 2012, Shari Galiardi & David Hutchison left behind careers and a comfortable home in North Carolina to travel with the vintage camper trailer they lovingly restored, outfitted with solar, and named “Hamlet.” What began as a short break from careers and responsibility quickly turned into a love affair with roadlife. They have parlayed their higher education backgrounds, desire for life-long learning, and thirst for adventure travel into writing, photography, video production, and public speaking gigs from coast to coast. Known to their friends as simply Shari & Hutch, you can learn more about their full-time, solar-powered adventures on their website at freedominacan.com.
