justRich Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Of all the forum topics, "Solar Power" seems to be missing. (or did i miss it?) There has been a dramatic drop in lithium battery prices, solar panel prices and now some RV's come equipped for solar connectivity. But no forum for Solar Power. Could the powers that be please help? Quote ~Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the powers that be please help? I agree, in todays RV world, it would be nice to have a dedicated Solar/Inverter/Battery system forum. Since there isn't one on the site, I typically post my Solar related threads in the Technical Tips and Tricks forum. In fact I just started a new thread there about a new system I am building out in my RV.

lappir Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Will also vote for the addition of Solar. Maybe it could be a BofF instead.

Tahoe Shark Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 We have internet and satellite sections on the forum now. It seem reasonable to have a solar section as well. One more vote for the solar section Quote Tim & Cheryl 2015 Mobile Suites 39 TKSB3 2009 Volvo 670 D13 I-Shift “Walter” Happily Living Somewhere In Nevada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatrickc Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I vote for one also. There seems to be a lot of interest.

justRich Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Along the lines of Solar power - the Lithium battery will probably be replaced by the GRAPHENE ALUMINUM-ION battery. Quote The laboratory testing and experiments have shown so far that the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery energy storage technology has high energy densities and higher power densities compared to current leading marketplace Lithium-Ion Battery technology – which means it will give longer battery life (up to 3 times) and charge much faster (up to 60 times). ( https://graphenemg.com/energy-storage-solutions/aluminum-ion-battery/ ) The University of Queensland holds the patent and recently partnered with commercial enterprise to begin exploitation of their discovery.
