About Bangji RV Solar Air Conditioner
Running an RV air conditioner requires a LOT of electrical power. While it’s certainly possible to harness sufficient power to run an AC unit using solar energy, the setup required to do so would be extensive – and expensive. In fact, the expense alone could be a strong deterrent for most.
There are a handful of essential items required to generate solar power for an RV air conditioner. Let’s take a look at what you’d need.
In order to use solar power for an RV air conditioner, especially for any length of time, you’d need a substantial battery bank, preferably.
As we’ve established, running an AC unit on solar power would require substantial upsizing of both the solar array and battery bank. Most RVs don’t have sufficient roof space to accommodate the number of solar panels that would be needed to keep batteries charged.
While it’s certainly possible to use solar power for an RV air conditioner, we don’t think that it’s really all that practical for the average RVer.

4 FAQs about [Bangji RV Solar Air Conditioner]
Can you run an RV air conditioner with solar power?
Portable air coolers are lightweight and require minimal power to operate. They often come with dual voltage circuitry and can be powered using the RV’s DC cigarette lighter. Running an RV air conditioner using solar power is absolutely possible. But it’s something that comes with a huge price tag.
How much solar energy do I need for RV air conditioning?
The amount of solar energy you need to power an RV air conditioning unit depends on the BTU rating of the unit. BTU is an acronym for British Thermal Unit and refers to the cooling capacity of the RV air conditioning units. It’s a measure of the amount of heat that an AC can remove from an RV.
Do off-grid RVers need a mini-split air conditioner?
Many off-grid RVers will use an efficient mini-split air conditioner, which takes a tiny fraction of the amount of power required to run a regular RV air conditioner. If you choose a more efficient AC, you can run it for a lot longer and less power.
How much does an RV air conditioner battery cost?
The typical 12 volt 100AH lithium ion battery runs about $500-900. So just for 300AH of capacity, you’ll be spending $1500-3000 up front, and will still only get a few hours of run-time. Most people who actually run their RV air conditioner off of batteries have between 400-800AH of usable power in their off-grid battery banks.
