A CLOSER LOOK
More panel space through a retractable layout.
The official slide-out solar page describes additional panels mounted beneath existing rooftop panels. Linear actuators extend and retract the additional panels. Discuss roof layout, mounting, charging equipment, and your RV’s suitability before choosing a system. Available output depends on the complete installation and conditions; additional panels do not guarantee operation of particular appliances.
The official design uses linear actuators to extend additional panels from beneath existing ones. Available roof space, clearance, mounting, and charging compatibility all need review.
Plan your slide-out solar panels.
- Available roof space and existing solar panel layout
- Mounting, actuator clearance, and travel configuration
- Charge controller and battery compatibility
