Professional caravan solar installations from £300
Go off-grid on every trip: Caravan solar panel installation in Somerset
Stop hunting for hardstanding with electric hook-up. We fit high-quality solar panels to caravans, giving you the freedom to stay on any pitch with full off-grid power. Expert caravan solar panel fitters serving all Somerset.
Is your caravan tied to the nearest plug socket?
You bought your caravan for the freedom to explore, but without electric hook-up (EHU), your adventures are limited. The lights dim, the water pump slows, and the heater cuts out. You're stuck choosing between expensive serviced pitches or going without power.
Portable generators are noisy, bulky, and annoy fellow campers. Running your car engine to charge the battery wastes fuel. And the battery charger built into your caravan's power supply unit was never designed for serious off-grid living.
You want the flexibility to stay on a beautiful CL site, a rally field, or that stunning coastal pitch — without worrying whether your battery will survive the night.
Caravan solar: silent freedom from the grid
A professionally installed solar panel system transforms your caravan. It silently charges your battery whenever the sun shines, keeping your 12V system topped up. Lights, water pump, TV, phone charging — all without plugging in.
We use marine-grade components and careful roof mounting designed specifically for caravans. Unlike a DIY install, we ensure every roof entry is completely waterproof and all wiring meets caravan safety standards. We can fit rigid panels on caravans with suitable roofs, or ultra-low-profile flexible panels that sit flush and weigh almost nothing.
Every system includes a battery monitor so you can see exactly how much power you have, what's charging, and what you're using. No more guessing — you'll always know your battery status at a glance. Own a campervan? See our campervan solar panel installation page.
Already have a solar panel? Upgrade just your controller
If your caravan already has a solar panel but you're not getting the performance you expected, the problem might not be the panel — it could be the controller. Most caravans come with basic PWM controllers that waste up to 30% of your panel's potential. A Victron SmartSolar MPPT controller upgrade unlocks that lost power without replacing your panel. It's the most cost-effective solar upgrade you can make.
