Solar & Power
Vehicle and touring power solutions that help keep essential equipment running away from mains power.
What we can help with
Built around your setup
We design solar and auxiliary power systems for 4x4s, caravans, campervans, motorhomes and boats, with components selected to suit the available space and intended use.
Charging while you stop
Vehicle-mounted solar panels
Make use of available roof space to help recharge your auxiliary battery during daylight hours. We plan the panels, mounting and compatible solar controller around your vehicle, battery system and power needs, with shading and available space in mind.
Power for your appliances
Inverters
Run suitable mains-powered appliances from your auxiliary battery with an inverter matched to your equipment. We consider running loads, startup demands and battery capacity to help you choose a practical setup for the appliances you want to take away.
Recharge on the road
DC-DC chargers
Use driving time to recharge your auxiliary battery with a DC-DC charger suited to your vehicle and battery type. Where solar is also part of the system, we plan how the charging sources work together, including whether a charger with an integrated solar controller suits your setup.
A system that works together
Complete auxiliary power solutions
Bring your battery, solar, vehicle charging, inverter and accessory outlets together in one planned setup. Whether you are starting fresh or upgrading existing equipment, we work from what you want to power, how long you stay parked and how you travel.
Before you book
Frequently asked questions
How much solar do I need?
Your solar requirements will depend on your battery capacity, how much power you use and how often you plan to be off-grid. We can help design a system that provides enough solar charging for your individual setup.
Can you work with my existing solar panels?
Yes. In many cases we can integrate existing solar panels into a new or upgraded system. We can assess your current setup and determine the best way to make it work with your new requirements.
Can I use portable panels in addition to roof-mounted panels?
Yes. Portable solar panels or blankets can be used alongside fixed roof-mounted panels. We can install dedicated solar input connections that allow you to plug portable panels into your existing charging system.
Can an inverter be added to my system?
In most cases, yes. The size of the inverter you can run will depend on your battery capacity, charging system and the appliances you plan to power. We can assess your existing setup and recommend a suitable solution.
What should I send for a quote?
Include your vehicle type, battery and charger models, photos of the available mounting space and the equipment you want to power.
Every setup is different. DriveWired will assess your requirements and agree on the scope and pricing before work begins.
