Premier Motorcoach Innovations
Santa Ana RV collision and body shop rated 4.6 stars, known for honesty and steady communication.
Solar on an RV is one of those upgrades that sounds simple until you start pricing panels, controllers and lithium batteries. Santa Ana has a few shops that do this work, and the ones listed here also handle the roof, A/C and electrical problems that tend to surface once a rig sits in the Southern California sun. Book early in spring, and ask whether the part is in stock before you drop the coach off.

Three shops in Santa Ana list solar installation, and two of them also advertise roof, A/C, refrigerator, awning, generator and electrical work, which matters because a panel swap usually turns into a wiring or sealant job. The two warranty-approved shops are the safer bet if your coach is still under a manufacturer plan, since you can get pre-approval before anyone touches the roof. One shop is parts-focused, so call first and confirm they take install work. The average rating across the listed shops is 4.8, though review counts vary widely, so read a few before you commit.
Nobody in this Santa Ana list runs a mobile solar crew, so plan on dropping the coach off rather than having panels fitted in your driveway. That is normal for solar, since panel mounting and charge controller wiring take a bay and a lift more often than not. Use the drive-in time to get other items looked at, like the A/C that quit last August or the awning that will not retract. Confirm the shop's turnaround before you leave, and ask whether they will store the rig overnight if the job runs long. Two nearby shops are worth a call if Santa Ana is booked out.
Ask what happens to your existing roof penetrations before any new panel goes on. Old mounting holes are where leaks start, and a shop that reseals them properly saves you a soaked ceiling later. Ask whether the charge controller is sized for the battery bank you plan to run, not just the panels going on today. And ask if the shop handles warranty paperwork for the solar components themselves, separate from your RV's own coverage. Two Santa Ana shops do warranty work on the coach side, which helps when a roof or electrical fault shows up after the install.
Three shops in Santa Ana list solar installation, with two more nearby. Two of the three also handle roof and electrical work, and two are set up for warranty jobs.
No. None of the listed Santa Ana shops advertises mobile solar work, so plan to bring the RV in. Mobile techs are better for small fixes than for panel mounting and controller wiring.
Ask how they seal old roof holes, whether the charge controller matches your battery bank, and if they file warranty claims on the solar parts. Also confirm the part is in stock so the coach is not sitting in the bay waiting.
If your RV is still covered, yes. Two Santa Ana shops do warranty work, and getting pre-approval before the install avoids arguments later. On an older coach out of coverage, pick on reviews and turnaround instead.
