AIR GEAR 200 Watt Portable Solar Kit

Page Description:
The AIR GEAR Portable Solar Kit for Airstream trailers and Basecamps adds capacity to a rooftop system or can be used as a primary solar power system. Super lightweight (19 pounds), high quality charge controller and wiring, the system delivers 200 watts of solar power and is compatible with all common battery types, such as lead-acid (including AGM) and lithium batteries. Unlike rooftop solar panels, our system allows you to move the panels to where the sun is shining (within 25 feet of the Airstream), and angle them to optimize solar capture. The AIR GEAR "best in class" Portable Solar Kit fits in most Airstream wardrobes or in the backseat of your tow vehicle, and weighs only 19 pounds! Our friend Brad from Thirteen Adventures explains what's in the kit: Why people love this kit Works with any Airstream trailer and all battery types – NOT compatible with Interstate motorhomes or Atlas motorhome Costs a lot less than rooftop solar and is more flexible No wiring, no drilling – no installation needed! Super lightweight – weighs less than 20 pounds!
