Description

Whether you want to add more solar capacity to a rooftop system or you're shopping for your first solar power system...

Our Portable Solar Kit is a simple, powerful, and cost effective solution

This super lightweight system delivers up to 200 watts of solar power and is compatible with all common battery types. Just plug it in and it works!


Why people love this product

  • Works with any travel trailer and all battery types – NOT compatible with most motorhomes, including Airstream Interstate, Atlas, and Rangeline 
  • Costs a lot less than rooftop solar and is more flexible
  • No wiring, no drilling – no installation needed!
  • Super lightweight – weighs less than 20 pounds!
  • Extends your stay in remote locations and places without hookups
  • Deployable anywhere up to 25 feet from your trailer, which means you can park in the shade, and still get power from the sun (you can't do that with rooftop panels)
  • Folds down to a size that's easy to store in most Airstream wardrobes and other RV closets – or the back seat of your tow vehicle

A perfect complement to rooftop solar

Unlike rooftop solar panels, our system allows you to move the panels to where the sun is shining (within 25 feet of your Airstream or other RV), and angle them to optimize solar capture. 

How our Portable Solar Kit compares to the competition

Ready to go right out of the box

No drilling, no installation. Takes just a couple of minutes to set up.

Plugs into your the trailer's solar port or 7-way plug. If you have a factory-installed solar port, you can combine two systems for up to 400 watts! Read this article for details.

IMPORTANT: If you don't have a solar port that looks like one of those shown below, choose the option "with 7-way plug adapter" when placing your order. The adapter enables you to plug the Portable Solar Kit into your 7-way plug instead of the solar port. (Except 2024 and later Trade Wind models. Those trailers cannot use the 7-way adapter.)

Here are 5 reasons why portable might be right for you

Solar is a must-have for serious travelers

Simply put, solar allows you to enjoy longer stays at beautiful remote campsites where electricity isn't available – and reduces the need for a generator. 

Included in the AIR GEAR Portable Solar Kit

  • Set of 3 lightweight rigid panels which fold down for travel–complete with collapsible steel legs
  • Water and dust resistant MPPT solar charge controller, compatible with lead-acid (including AGM), lithium (LiFePO4) and Gel batteries—re-programmable via your phone!
  • 25-foot extension cable–which enables you to put the panels exactly where the sun is shining
  • Adapter cable for connecting to an SAE solar plug
  • Zipper case with carrying handle for each set of panels
  • Complete Instructions

IMPORTANT: If your trailer doesn't have a factory-installed solar port that is connected directly to the battery (including Airstreams from model year 2016 or earlier), choose the option for "7 way adapter" when placing your order.

The mobile app is free, and can be downloaded from your phone's app store.

Bonus: The kit comes with our exclusive guide: "Tips For Using Solar Power." Written by Rich Luhr, the publisher of Airstream Life magazine, the guide explains the best way to use your panels, conserve power, recharge and maintain your batteries, and more!
