Our luxury restroom trailers are fully operational at night, thanks to a dual solar system setup. Each trailer features two independent solar systems, both with their own battery storage, ensuring reliable performance even in the absence of sunlight. Providing functionality for lighting, ventilation, and water circulation throughout the night, both systems are designed to operate for up to 12 hours without solar input, making them highly reliable for overnight use. While the DC loads are supported by both systems, only the main system supplies power to AC components like the air conditioner and water heater. Main System The main solar system is powered by a 3,840Wh lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery bank operating at 51.2V and 75Ah. It is supported by three 545W JA Solar JA-JAM72-D30-545MB solar panels. This system handles the primary energy load, including air conditioning and water heating, which run on AC power. Back-Up System The backup solar system uses two LiFePO4 battery banks rated at 12V and 100Ah each (2,400 Wh in total). It is charged by a single dedicated 545W JA Solar panel. This backup system ensures continued operation of essential DC loads such as lights, fans, and pumps.
