LUMERA SOLAR 220W BIFACIAL PANEL

Bifacial: Up to 30% additional gain from internal reflection and backside power generation.

Higher Wattage: 220 watts as opposed to 200 watts out of the same size panel.

Half Cell Technology: Standard full cells are cut into two equal halves. This prevents a full panel from going down when partly shaded.

More Cells Per Panel: Results in 2–3% higher module output and higher total yields.

WHY CHOOSE SMART SOLAR MONITORING?

If you're considering skipping the Smart Shunt, it’s important to understand what you might be missing. Smart solar monitoring—through Victron’s Bluetooth-connected app—offers more control, better insight, and long-term savings.

Here’s why it’s the better choice:

• ✅ Smarter insights where it matters most: Manual monitors only show panel voltage. Smart monitoring gives complete visibility—battery health, real-time usage, and accurate runtime estimates. Like a fuel gauge, you’ll always know how much power you have left.
• ✅ Lower install costs: Fewer wires and simpler setup reduce labor time.
• ✅ Easier upgrades: Use your smartphone or a low-cost tablet as your solar control center.
• ✅ No cell service required: Bluetooth works anywhere—perfect for remote camping and off-grid use.

Still prefer a traditional setup? We can build a custom solar package using Victron’s non-smart controllers and optional battery monitors, along with the MPPT Control display.

POWER YOUR RV ADVENTURE WITH EXPERT SOLAR SOLUTIONS FROM TRADEMASTERS

When it comes to RV life, freedom is power—and power is freedom. Whether you’re boondocking in the mountains, off-roading through the backcountry, or setting up camp for the weekend, having a reliable, efficient solar power system on your RV isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

At Trademasters, we specialize in custom RV solar solutions that are built around real-world performance, smart design, and top-tier components. From casual campers to full-time vanlifers, our expertly crafted RV solar packages are designed to keep your lights on, your fridge running, and your batteries topped up—wherever the road takes you.

WHY PROFESSIONAL RV SOLAR INSTALLATION MATTERS

With so many DIY videos and plug-and-play solar kits available online, you might wonder: Do I really need a professional to install my RV solar system?

The short answer? Yes—if you want it done right.

Solar is more than just bolting a panel to the roof and connecting a few wires. A properly designed and installed solar system must:

• Match your power consumption with your battery capacity and solar input
• Include correct wire sizing and fusing for safety and efficiency
• Factor in charging profiles for your battery type (especially lithium)
• Integrate cleanly with your existing RV electrical system
• Be scalable and upgradeable without costly redesign later

At Trademasters, our professional installations ensure every component—from the MPPT charge controller to the inverter and monitoring system—is optimized for performance, safety, and longevity. You'll avoid the most common mistakes like undercharging, overcharging, or mismatched equipment, which can shorten battery life or leave you without power when you need it most.

Plus, you’ll get a system that looks clean, works intuitively, and can grow with you over time.

WHY LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR RV SOLAR

When powering your RV, your battery bank is the heart of your system. While AGM and lead-acid batteries have been around for years, lithium batteries are now the gold standard for off-grid power—and for good reason.

Here’s why we recommend lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries:

• More Usable Capacity: AGM batteries can only use about 50% of their rated capacity without damaging the battery. Lithium batteries? You get 80–100% usable capacity.
• Faster Charging: Lithium batteries accept higher charging currents, allowing them to charge faster from solar.
• Lightweight and Compact: Lithium batteries are significantly lighter—ideal for RVs where weight matters.
• Longer Lifespan: Most lithium batteries last 3,000+ cycles, compared to around 500 for AGMs.
• Built-in Safety and Monitoring: Many lithium batteries include a BMS and Bluetooth for remote status checks.

If you’re investing in solar, don’t pair it with outdated battery tech. Lithium ensures you're getting the most efficient, reliable energy storage possible.

WHY BIFACIAL SOLAR PANELS OUTPERFORM THE REST

All solar panels produce power—but not all panels are created equal. At Trademasters, we use 220W Lumera bifacial half-cell panels, which offer major advantages over standard panels found in many other kits.

What makes bifacial panels better?

• Capture light from both sides—up to 30% more output in ideal conditions
• Half-cell technology improves performance in shaded or partial light
• Higher output per square inch—maximize your roof space
• Better durability and lower internal heat
• Sleek, low-profile design built for harsh environments

In short: you’ll get more power, more consistently, with fewer panels.

SMART MONITORING: KNOW YOUR SYSTEM INSIDE AND OUT

Powering your RV isn't just about generating energy—it's about managing it. That’s why every Trademasters solar system includes smart Bluetooth monitoring through the VictronConnect app.

With smart monitoring, you can:

• View live solar production and system efficiency
• Monitor battery health, voltage, and charge status
• Track power usage history and trends
• Get real-time estimates on how long your power will last

All this, without needing cell service. Simply connect your phone or tablet via Bluetooth. Want more advanced data? Add the Cerbo GX and GX Touch screen for full visual control right from inside your rig.

SOLAR PACKAGES BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

At Trademasters, we offer three professionally designed solar packages—Sightseer, Explorer, and Voyager—each tailored for different levels of RV power needs. From basic 12V systems to full AC integration with shore power charging, our kits are engineered for performance and upgrade potential.

Whether you're just starting with a single panel or building a full off-grid RV setup, we’ll help you choose a package that fits your budget, your travel style, and your rig.
