We are thrilled to have introduced the most powerful and flexible factory-installed RV solar power systems on the market, now available on each and every Keystone RV model. Every Keystone brand comes equipped with SolarFlex 200 as standard equipment, but many of our brands offer the SolarFlex 400i package as an option.
This versatile and robust system packs a lot of punch for a relatively low investment. SolarFlex 400i gives owners enough power to experience true off-grid camping and is prepped for some serious expansion if you decide you’re ready to up your boondocking game.
The SolarFlex 200 package allows owners to use energy straight from the battery to power all of the coach’s 12V systems like the slides, water pump, lights and 12v refrigerators. With the 400i package we’ve added 2000-watt inverter that modifies the energy stored in the battery to AC power for 110v outlets. AC power is what’s used for common appliances like coffee makers, televisions & CPAP machines.
In addition to adding the inverter, everything else about this package is scaled up:
-- 2, 200-watt monocrystalline solar panels on the roof with locking MC4 connectors
-- 2, 30 amp roof ports
-- 30 amp Victron charge controller
-- Victron SmartShunt battery monitor which provides visibility for owners to monitor their available energy and energy reserves via the Victron Connect smartphone app
-- Zamp portable panel side port.
We’ve talked before about how your batteries are like the gas tank for any solar power system. With 400 watts of solar on the roof, and an appropriately sized battery bank, SolarFlex 400i is more than ready to get campers off the grid. While SolarFlex 400i is designed to work with lead acid, AGM and Lithium-ion, all solar power systems will always operate the most efficiently with Lithium-ion batteries.
If you’re interested in adding lithium-ion batteries to your SolarFlex system, Keystone RV dealers now carry best-in-class Dragonfly Energy heated 100 amp hour lithium-ion batteries. When you have the chance, watch our video on the differences between lead acid vs. lithium ion batteries. You can find that on KeystoneRV.com or on our KZfaq channel.
But here’s the kicker -- SolarFlex 400i was designed to be the MOST flexible of all of the SolarFlex packages. If you start off-grid camping and decide you want to go a little harder, we’ve designed in lots of ways for you to scale up your system with components that can be shipped to your dealer within a few days.
Expansion options:
-- Easily add a Zamp Portable Panel to the pre-wired side port
-- If there is enough real estate on your RV’s roof, add two additional 200-watt or even two 300-watt panels to your system using the second 30amp roof port
-- If you want to add solar powered AC, SolarFlex 400i is already prepped with a second inverted loop for the main air conditioner. All you need to do is to add a second inverter and an A/C that is equipped with soft start.
You can find more detail about expansion options on the SolarFlex 400i page of the Keystone RV website: www.keystonerv.com/solarflex-...
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about SolarFlex 400i. We believe this will be our best-selling SolarFlex package - it’s an incredible value, has everything you need to get off the grid from the start, and can be easily scaled up for some serious boondocking capabilities if -- and when -- you’re ready.
