🌞 Hey everyone! Today's adventure brings me to Quartzsite, AZ, where I'm visiting Solar Bills, a renowned business with a rich history. I'm here to meet Gus, the dynamic owner who's been at the helm for the last two years, passionately contributing to the legacy of this solar institution.
🚌 Join me as Gus guides us through the essentials of solar installation for RVs. He's more than just the owner; he's a fountain of knowledge about everything solar. We'll explore the various products they sell and install, diving deep into the world of sustainable energy.
💡 What's truly amazing about Gus and his team is their understanding and empathy towards those who might find professional installation a bit steep. They generously offer their expertise for free! Yes, that's right! I got a chance to chat with Gus, his wife, and their experienced staff, and they're all about helping anyone who walks into their shop with questions about solar installation.
🛠️ For my fellow DIY enthusiasts, Gus's team is a godsend. They can provide you with an accurate estimate for labor, installation, and equipment, tailored to my needs. Since solar installations can vary greatly in size and complexity, this personalized advice is invaluable.
⏰ And here's the kicker: even during their busiest season in January, with just a four-day heads-up, you can get your RV into their shop for a comprehensive solar install, all done in one day!
🌟 So, come along with me in this enlightening journey as I delve into the world of solar power with Gus and his team. Whether you're a seasoned RV traveler or new to the solar journey, there's something to learn for everyone. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more of my adventures in sustainable living!

We just bought our RV in March. It came with 1 Go Power solar panel and charge controller, a 1,000 watt inverter and 2 lead acid batteries. In October we had Solar Bill upgrade ours by adding another solar panel, a better 30 AMP charge controller and 2 100 AMP hour lithium batteries. We’ve been out at LaPosa South LTVA since mid November and we’ve never had a problem. We went back to have them swap out the connectors for our solar generator so that we could use a solar panel we had from our last RV. We highly recommend Solar Bill.
That’s great to hear! Thank you for the comment
Thx for comment, I too have the same GoPower set up and I am watchjng this video from Plomosa rd😂 wondering about cost of upgrade from what you had. I know I would be satisfied with the upgrade, but what am I looking at how much$$$ for the upgrade...
@@janebray9392we already had a 190 watt panel and a 1,000watt inverter installed from the factory. We swapped our Go Power Charge Controller out with a Blue Ky Energy Solar Boost 3000i based on their recommendation as the charge controller that came with the RV wasn’t working right with the lithium batteries. Total was about $2,200 dollars for the installation, solar charge controller, another solar panel bringing our our solar panels to 400 watts, and the 2 lithium batteries. Labor came in less than estimated as they told us our current inverter would be fine. The cost could be higher or lower depending on what price level you went with for the lithium batteries. We chose the Lion Energy batteries which from this video appears to be midrange. The solar panels are mounted on the roof. On our last RV we had 2 smaller solar panels on the ground with a built in charge controller and 2 lead acid batteries. We didn’t have an inverter. We could make it through a night running our heater, but if we didn’t have good sun, we’d have to run the generator a lot to get the batteries charged back up. We’re so glad we did this as we have been able to do so much more with the new solar system. We’ve never been low on power since. If we do run our generator, it’s for the microwave or things that use more than 1,000 watts.
Good to know the original solar setup can be easily replaced. My 2023 Class C has the basic system you described, and I have been wanting to change to lithium for extended stays.
Super great video! I’ll definitely check his store out. Thanks again for all the information from Quartzsite.
This video is incredibly helpful!!
Thanks , I was there last year when Russ from RVer tv was there filming. They also had a demostration about batteries going on. Good info.
What a great video. Thank you for doing it, he does seem like a nice guy. I’ll be paying him a visit when I get out there
Thanks. Good info!
We were just there a few days ago, hour video is very well done, to the point and all good questions! We'll be customers!
Glad it was helpful!
Great interview Rob ❤
We were there the other day
They're very knowledgeable and honest.
Good one, the people need to know about everything before trying to hook it up by themselves! Thanks!
Very informative!! Thanks for the video. I like the interview you did. Gus is very knowledgeable. I would feel very comfortable trusting him with my solar needs. ~Alice
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for doing this Rob. I like the interview type of business feature more than just the quick walk throughs.
I bought a hqst 60 amp charge controller. Has a huge heat sink. For 219.00 and a 48 volt power inverter 2500 wart for 209.00. Need to get my 48 volt battery yet 100 or 110 amp hour 5120 or 5600 watt hours.
"phantom load" is also known as, and more popularly known as "parasitic draw"
Just keep it simple. Get an all in one unit, like the EG4 or a similar unit. They are plug and play systems, very easy to hook up.
One of the most interesting and informative articles I’ve seen. Thanks so much for doing this one. You Rock! Love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video very informative, answered a lot of my solar questions just by your interview with him
The 200 amp fuzes went up 100 % in one year. I was not really surprised. But they do pretty good work.
If you can tell me the type of 200 amp fuse and the price a year ago and the current price I’m happy to leave your comment up as good information for everyone.
The price was $5.00 a piece. They went up to $10.00 a piece. I was shocked. But I needed one at the moment.
@vanlifenomadfirekeeper Checked Amazon and currently $5- 10 for 200 amp AMG fuses
Epoch has 300AH lithium battery for $999. Two of those and you'll run forever
Great video, I was wanting to ask some questions about my system but afraid since I didn’t get their product they won’t answer. Now I’ll stop in and ask. I just added a 200w solar array today to boost up some charging.
That jail is where Wyatt Earp used to come pick up prisoners and transfer them to court.

For an average Class C RV, do you think 4 Life PO 4 at 400 amp hours each would be enough ? 1600 AMP hours total... I'm looking to run AC off of solar also
Probably yes on the ac /a lot depends on how much solar you have feeding that massive 1600 amp bank. I would say a minimum of 3200 tilted in the winter. But this is way beyond my expertise - I’m likely wrong but not far off
