Keystone RV has teamed up with Future Solutions to share valuable information about the SolarFlex 600i-L System. Learn the basics of solar energy, how to operate the system, and features that will help you conserve energy during your next adventure.
The SolarFlex 600i-L system is typically installed in the front storage compartment of a fifth wheel, while travel trailers have it in the front pass-thru compartment. Although the components are located differently, they connect in the same way.
Follow these three easy steps to get your solar system up and running:
With these steps, your system is operating and ready to use. RVs provide both 120V and DC power inside.
When your RV is running on batteries, it's important to monitor energy usage. The app shows the following:
Start by running the slide-outs while observing the power usage. Set the A/C to cool and note the increase in amps and time remaining. Understanding your energy consumption before venturing out to boondock will help you avoid draining your lithium batteries.
When you plug into shore power, the inverter switches to charging mode. There's a short delay as the inverter qualifies incoming energy, and you’ll see positive numbers indicating a state of charge.
The 600i-L comes with a standard package including:
Solar energy alone does not run appliances; it charges the batteries. The inverter converts battery power to run the A/C and receptacles. Remember, you need the right combination of components: Inverter + Battery + Solar = A/C operation.
Factors like clouds, sunshine, trees, and campground locations can affect solar energy generation. Position your panels to optimize energy collection during peak sunlight hours. Open, sunny areas will yield more energy than shaded regions.
Yes, Keystone RVs are designed to accommodate two batteries for future expansion. There’s also a docking port for additional solar panels and space for an extra amp charger. Consult your local dealer for expansion options and pricing.
Before long-term storage, do the following:
Do not disconnect the solar; it will continue to charge and maintain the lithium battery.
Lithium batteries generate internal heat to function in colder temperatures, but they won’t charge below freezing. If necessary, activate the battery heating feature to allow charging in colder conditions.
You cannot use the solar system arbitrarily; monitor your power usage and battery storage. Understanding energy consumption is crucial for effective system management.
By following the Quick Start Guide and Troubleshooting Guide, you'll be well-equipped to operate and maintain your SolarFlex 600i-L system, ensuring a successful camping experience. Happy adventures!
