Brinkley Model Z Solar System Packages
The luxury fifth wheel Model Z from Brinkley RV includes one or two 370W solar panels from the factory, giving you a head start on your fully off-grid system! We recommend keeping the existing panels, but upgrading the solar charge controller in order to conveniently monitor your solar production as a whole integrated system. Our packages are customizable to fit your specific needs, or we can work with you to create a completely custom system.
All of our packages provide plenty of power to run normal 12V DC electronics (lights, vent fans, USB outlets, etc.) and small 120V AC electronics (phones, laptops, TVs, etc.) for a very long time, as well as moderate use of larger appliances (air conditioners, microwaves, hair dryers, etc.). The larger your system’s battery bank, the more power you’ll have to use, and the more solar you have, the faster you can recharge your battery bank.

Micro-Air EasyStart | $450 per A/C
If you want to run your air conditioning off of solar via your inverter, you will need an EasyStart in order to lessen the initial energy draw of the A/C. Without one, you will likely damage your inverter over time.
*Price is for a typical installation: It’s rare, however some RV’s require additional customization, wire, and/or labor. If additional parts and/or labor are needed we will notify the customer as soon as we know.
