DC Solar Trailer Upgrade - PV Panels and Charge Controller
- Low stock - 10 items left
- Inventory on the way
Depending on the year manufactured, a typical DC Solar trailer will have between 2300 and 2700 watts of PV power. Just like the batteries, the PV panels degrade over time, so most trailers produce far less than their nameplate value. This means that now is the perfect time for a DC Solar trailer upgrade.
We're asked quite often how to improve solar production in a DC Solar trailer, so we offer a PV upgrade with brand new panels that fit the existing railing with only minor drilling required. This will improve PV production anywhere from 1/3 to more than double that of your old panels.
Prices include removal of old panels and setup of the new charge controller, if required. We can also ship if you are not local. Please contact us prior to purchase.
**These upgrades are 10% off when purchased with a Higher Wire battery.**
DC Solar Trailer Upgrade Features
- High-energy density solar PV panels that fit your existing racks
- Replacement MPPT solar charge controller (if needed)
- All components needed for installation are included: pre-terminated wiring, fuses, MC4 connectors, etc.
- Straightforward installation instructions and phone or email help as needed
Note that some cutting, stripping and termination is required. Solar panels will need to be drilled to fit the existing racking.
System Options
- 3200 watts using the existing MidNite Classic 250 charge controller
- 3200+ watts using a new Victron MPPT 250/100 charge controller
- Up to 5600 watts using a new Victron MPPT 250/100 charge controller (requires off-trailer mounting of some PV panels)
All systems come with necessary fuses/breakers, pre-terminated wires, and other components necessary for installation. Assembly and drilling of PV panels is required.
We ship the majority of our orders by the next business day. Lithium batteries may take up to two business days to process to accommodate inspection and logging into our system.
Our shipping rates are based on the weight of all ordered products plus estimated weight of packaging. We make every effort to forecast an accurate shipping cost, but cannot be 100% certain in all cases. Please contact us at sales@higherwireenergy.com with any questions prior to purchase.
We pack and label all lithium battery shipments in accordance with Federal Regulation 49CFR173.185, as well as USPS Publication 52 Hazard Class 9 or UPS/Fedex guidelines. Unless otherwise stated, lithium batteries are not eligible for free shipping.
We try to pack all items in an order in a single box, however we may on occasion need to ship items separately. Special shipping does not apply to lithium ion batteries, and orders that include batteries may not qualify for free or expedited shipping.
