What to expect from Olympia solar shops

Olympia has two solar installation shops, so booking ahead is smart, especially in spring when everyone gets ready for summer trips. Awesome RV Olympia on the west side is a full-service shop with a 3.7-star average from 60 reviews. They handle solar along with roof, A/C, fridge, awning, slide-out, electrical, and generator work. A1 RV Repair is the mobile option, coming to your driveway or campsite. They cover the same systems plus water heater, furnace, leveling, and winterize. Both stock parts, which helps if your charge controller or wiring needs replacing. When you call, ask if they have the solar panels and mounting hardware in stock. If not, you might wait on a special order. Also ask how they handle roof penetrations for panel mounts, since a leaky mount can ruin your ceiling.

Mobile or shop: picking the right fit

If your RV is stuck at home with a dead battery bank or you're at a campsite with no power, A1 RV Repair's mobile service saves you a tow. They come to you and can diagnose wiring issues on the spot. But for a full solar install with multiple panels and a new inverter, a shop like Awesome RV Olympia gives them a controlled space to work. That matters when they need to run cables through the roof and walls. Mobile techs can do installs too, but ask if they carry the right sealant and mounting brackets. Weather in Olympia can turn wet fast, so a dry bay is a plus.

Questions to ask before you book

Start with warranty. Neither shop advertises warranty work, so if your RV is still under a manufacturer's warranty, call the warranty provider first and get pre-approval for the solar work. Then ask about the parts: do they use standard MC4 connectors, and can they match your existing panels if you're expanding? Ask how they test the system after installation, like a full charge cycle and a load test. Finally, confirm they'll walk you through the monitor and app setup. A good shop will spend ten minutes showing you how to read your charge controller.
