Two shops, one with warranty

San Marcos has two shops that install RV solar: Infinite RV & Marine and Blue Compass RV San Marcos. Infinite RV & Marine has a 4.9 rating from 40 reviews and handles roof, A/C, fridge, awning, and solar work. Blue Compass RV San Marcos is the larger shop with a 4.4 rating from 638 reviews, and it's the one that does warranty work. That matters if your rig is still under factory warranty and you want the solar install to be covered. Call ahead to confirm they can do warranty-approved solar on your model, since not every shop is authorized for every brand.

Mobile techs? Not for solar

You might prefer a mobile tech for small fixes, but for solar installation, you'll want a shop. Neither of the San Marcos solar shops offers mobile service. That's typical: solar installs involve mounting panels, running wiring, and sometimes upgrading the charge controller, which is easier in a bay. If you need a mobile tech for something else, the city has none listed for solar, so plan to bring the RV in. Use the time to have them check your roof seals while the panels are off.

Other work they can do

Both shops handle more than solar. Infinite RV & Marine covers roof, A/C, fridge, and awning repairs. Blue Compass RV San Marcos does A/C, fridge, awning, slide-out, tires, electrical, generator, and leveling, plus they stock parts. That range is handy if your solar install reveals a weak battery or a tired converter. Ask them to test your electrical system before the install, so you don't blame the panels for a problem that was already there. And if you're adding solar to run an A/C off-grid, have them confirm your battery bank can handle it.
