We Install:
- Fixed, flexible, and foldable solar panels
- Pure sinewave inverters & inverter/chargers
- Battery combiner & DC-to-DC systems
- Lithium and AGM compatible setups
- Custom wiring & power management solutions
Every system is designed around your caravan layout, energy usage, and budget — ensuring maximum efficiency and long-term reliability.
Types of Solar Panels Available
🔹 Fixed Panels
Mounted permanently, ideal for full-time off-grid use.
🔹 Flexible Panels
Lightweight and low-profile — great for curved or pop-top roofs.
🔹 Foldable/Portable Panels
Perfect for travellers who want adjustable positioning to follow the sun.
High-Performance Lithium Batteries Built for Caravans
We stock custom-built Lithium LiFePOâ‚„ batteries designed specifically for the limited space inside caravans. Unlike standard lithium batteries, our units are engineered with a smaller footprint, allowing them to fit into compact battery compartments while still delivering exceptional power.
🔹 Why Choose Our Custom Lithium Batteries?
- Compact Design: Built to fit tight caravan battery bays without sacrificing capacity.
- High Discharge Rate: Ideal for powering inverters, fridges, pumps, and caravan movers.
- Lightweight & Efficient: Much lighter and more energy-efficient than AGM or lead-acid batteries.
- Long Life Cycle: LiFePOâ‚„ technology offers thousands of charge cycles with stable performance.
- Safe & Reliable: Integrated Battery Management System (BMS) for over-charge, over-discharge, and temperature protection.
🔹 Available Capacities
Our custom lithium batteries are available in various AH sizes varying between 200AH and 300AH
Whether you’re upgrading your caravan’s power system or building a complete off-grid setup, our custom lithium batteries offer the perfect combination of compact size, high output, and long-term durability.
We design each installation to maximise efficiency, reliability, and ease of use.

This depends on your appliances, battery size, and how long you want to stay off-grid. A basic setup may use 100–200W, while full off-grid systems often use 300–600W or more.
Yes — but the system must be matched to your battery type (AGM, GEL, Lithium, etc.). We supply compatible chargers, regulators and DC-to-DC systems to protect your battery.
You only need an inverter if you want to run 220V appliances such as kettles, TVs, microwaves, or chargers. USB and 12V devices do not require an inverter.
Fixed: permanently mounted, highest efficiency
Flexible: lightweight and low profile, ideal for curved roofs
Portable/Foldable: can be moved to face the sun, great for shade parking
Yes — when properly sized. A good solar system with lithium or deep-cycle batteries can run a fridge 24/7, even without mains power.
If your alternator charges the caravan battery while towing, then yes — a DC-to-DC charger ensures safe and efficient charging.
Yes. We design systems to be expandable, especially if you plan to upgrade to lithium or add more load later.
Solar will produce reduced power in cloudy conditions. Portable panels allow you to move them into the sun if your caravan is parked in shade.
