RV Off-Grid System Design in Hobe Sound, FL
Complete system design based on power audit: panel wattage, battery capacity, inverter size, and expected daily output.
Going off-grid in your RV means designing a power system that can handle your daily energy needs without shore power or a generator. This isn't about buying a kit off Amazon. It's about understanding exactly what you use, how much solar energy you can harvest, and sizing every component to work together reliably. We've designed over 200 systems for RV owners across Martin County.

What We Do
We start with a power audit: listing every device you use, how long you use it daily, and calculating your total daily watt-hour consumption. From there, we size the solar array (accounting for Florida's 5.5 peak sun hours and temperature derating), the battery bank (with enough reserve for cloudy days), the charge controller, and the inverter. Then we install everything as a complete, tested system.
Signs You Need RV Off-Grid System Design
You want to boondock for extended periods without a generator. You're tired of paying campground fees for hookups. You want to reduce your environmental footprint. You want energy independence while traveling.
Pricing
RV Off-Grid System Design typically costs $500 to $4500 depending on the specific issue and your RV's make and model. We provide an exact quote after diagnosing the problem on site. No work starts without your approval.

RV Off-Grid System Design FAQ
How much does a full off-grid system cost?
$2,500-$4,500 depending on system size. A basic setup for weekend boondocking is on the lower end. A full-time off-grid system with enough capacity for AC is on the higher end.
Can I go completely off-grid in Florida?
Yes, for everything except AC. Running AC off solar requires a very large (and expensive) system. Most off-grid RV owners in Florida use a generator for AC and solar for everything else.
How many days of autonomy should I plan for?
We typically design for 2-3 days of autonomy (cloudy weather) with a moderate battery bank. More autonomy means more batteries and higher cost.
Do you do a power audit?
Yes, it's the first step. We catalog every device, its wattage, and daily usage hours. This gives us an accurate daily consumption number to design around.
What's the typical payback period?
If you're currently paying $30-$50/night for campground hookups and switch to boondocking, a $3,000 solar system pays for itself in 60-100 nights of free camping.
Can you design a system and install it in one day?
The design consultation can be done over the phone. Installation of a complete system typically takes a full day, sometimes two for larger setups.
