Solar System

If equipped, the rooftop solar panels installed on
your Airstream help maintain battery health, reduce
operating expenses, and extend the battery life of the
batteries� The solar system's solar charge controller
gathers energy from the individual solar panels and
stores it in your batteries� The system features a
display (shown above) that allows you to view live
status information like solar watts and battery voltage�
To optimize solar charging, ensure the panels are
clean and not shaded by trees or structures that might
block the sun� Please refer to your owner's packet for
reference material that discusses the solar system and
its operation�
The charge controller is configured for a three-step
charging process:
1� Bulk - The controller delivers as much charge
current as possible to quickly recharge the
batteries�
2� Absorption - The controller switches to a constant
voltage mode�
3� Float - Voltage is applied to the batteries to
maintain them in a fully charged state�
Airstreams manufactured without the solar option have
been pre-wired to support solar panels� These units
will have a 3-port rooftop-mounted plug-in that allows
installing rooftop solar panels without running wires�
In addition, a quick plug-in port suitable for a portable
solar charging kit has been pre-wired at the front of the
unit, near the battery box;
