RV Generators: Quiet, Solar Powered, Reliable

Yes, you can charge an RV battery with a solar generator. In fact, many RVers use solar generators as an alternative power source to charge their RV batteries. By connecting your RV's battery to the solar generator through a charge controller, the solar panels will convert sunlight into DC power, which will then be stored in the battery. This process is clean, silent, and efficient, making it a great option for off-grid camping.

To match a generator to your RV AC, you'll need a generator that can provide enough starting and running watts to power the AC unit, as well as any other appliances or electronics you plan to use at the same time. A good rule of thumb is to choose a generator with at least 3,000 starting watts and 1,500 running watts to power an RV AC unit.

To choose the right generator size for a 30 amp RV, make a list of appliances and devices, determine their running and starting wattage, and add up the total. A generator with a capacity of 2,000 to 3,000 watts would be suitable. Consider the generator's noise level, portability, and energy efficiency before making a final decision.
