Shop or driveway
Three of the 8 solar shops listed here are mobile techs, and that changes the math. If your rig is already parked at a campground on the coast or sitting at home, a mobile tech can run the panel mounts and wiring without you moving it. Shop work makes more sense for a big roof array or a lithium bank swap, since they have the bay, the lift and the parts counter. Ask upfront who pulls the permit if one is needed and who handles the roof penetrations. Solar installs live or die on sealing, and I have seen more leaks from lazy cable entries than from the panels themselves. If the shop also does roof work, that is a good sign. When you call, ask whether the charge controller and mounting hardware are in stock or on order. A lot of installs get pushed back a week waiting on a part that could have been checked on day one.
Match the system to how you camp
A 400 watt roof setup that keeps the batteries topped off for a weekend is a different job from a full off grid build that runs an inverter and a residential fridge. Tell the tech how you actually use the rig: boondocking in the mountains, tailgating, or sitting plugged in most of the year. That answer decides panel size, controller type and whether lithium makes sense. Several of these shops also handle electrical, generators and A/C, which helps when a solar upgrade turns into a wiring project. One shop here does warranty work, so if your rig is still under a factory warranty, get pre approval before anyone drills a hole in the roof. Also ask what the panels do in partial shade. South Carolina pines are tall, and a shaded array can underperform in ways that surprise people.
What the ratings say
The spread here is wide in volume but tight in scores. VLRV Services carries a 4.9 across 535 reviews, and Carolina RV PROS sits at 4.9 over 64. Blue Compass RV Columbia has the most feedback at 1,393 reviews and a 4.6, with Blue Compass RV Charleston at 4.7 across 841 and the North Myrtle Beach location at 4.6 over 723. Lynches River Electrical LLC holds a 4.8 on 66 reviews. Read the recent reviews, not just the lifetime score, because a shop can change hands or lose a good tech. For solar, look for comments about wire routing, roof sealing and whether the system actually produced what was promised on the first trip out.

Questions people ask
How many solar shops and mobile techs are in South Carolina?
There are 8 listed for solar work in the state. Three of those are mobile techs who can come to your rig, and five are shop based. The group averages 4.7 stars.
Do any of these shops do warranty work?
One shop in the list handles warranty work. If your RV is still covered, call ahead and get pre approval from the warranty provider before the install starts, since roof and electrical modifications often need a green light first.
Can a mobile tech install solar at my campsite?
Yes, three of the 8 are mobile. They can handle panel mounting, wiring and controller installs on site. A large array or battery bank swap may still be better in a shop bay with a lift and full parts access.
