RV Solar Installation in Kent, WA

Shop or mobile for solar
A1 RV Repair is the mobile tech in this pair, which matters if your rig is parked and not moving soon. Mobile work makes sense for diagnostics, a charge controller swap or tracing why the panels stopped feeding the batteries. A full panel install usually wants a shop with room to lay out mounts and run cable. Ask either way whether the part is on the shelf before you commit to a date. WaVans Offroad keeps parts on hand, and A1 does too, so a same-week slot is not out of reach.
What to ask before you book
Bring your system details: panel wattage, controller model, battery type and how you camp. A tech who knows you boondock will size things differently than one assuming hookups every night. Ask how they seal roof penetrations, since a leak after an install is the complaint you hear most. Neither Kent shop advertises warranty work, so if your system is under a manufacturer plan, get pre-approval first. Spring fills up fast, so call ahead once the weather turns. WaVans holds a 4.5 rating across 8 reviews, which tells you people went back.
Beyond the panels
Solar rarely travels alone. Both Kent shops also handle roof work, fridges and awnings, and A1 covers A/C, water heaters, furnaces, slide-outs, generators, leveling and winterization. That range is useful when one visit can catch several problems. If your inverter is fine but the fridge will not run on it, that is an electrical question, not a solar one, and both shops list electrical work. Get the diagnosis in writing before anyone starts pulling cable. It keeps the bill honest and tells you what the next trip will cost.
