Rolasolar is an Australian operated and owned business in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The idea for the first roll out solar panel kit came about when in 2010 Dave G (Owner) was renovating a caravan (with his sidekick son - Alec) and purchased two 72 Watt Uni-solar stick on solar laminates to fit to he pop top roof of the caravan. Dave's thoughts of wanting to camp in the shade but have the so

lar panels in full sun led him to think it wasn't the best option to fit the solar panels to the roof of the caravan. This led to a trip to the local canvas fabricator (Ross at Polaris Innovations) for a discussion on making these flexible Uni-solar panels into a portable solar charge kit. The problem was the these Uni-solar solar panels came with a full adhesive backing which needed to be covered up to make them useful in a portable kit. Dave worked out that it was best to stick the solar panels to canvas, add 'D' ring and sewing the edges of the canvas. Using good quality 4mm2 solar cable, a quality MPPT solar charge controller and some Anderson plugs the first roll out flexible solar panel kit was built. Once the caravan was complete, Dave and Rebecca gathered up the four kids for a touring trip across Australia. On this trip the solar panel kit was setup to keep the batteries charged, this drew lots of attention from fellow camper and they asked where the roll out solar panel kit was bought. Dave had to explain the kit was made portable from his own idea and its the only one built at this time. As the caravan was used for many camping trips over the next year, more and more comments were passed onto Dave on how the roll up solar panel kit was a great idea. In 2011 Dave and Rebecca started a small business called Rolasolar to manufacture the best performance and quality portable solar panel kit on the market. As the product evolved, the solar panels were custom manufactured to a shorter 52 watt flexible solar panels which were zipped together to form the Rolasolar awning. These solar panel charge kits are now available as single roll out solar panels or as the solar awning, power options are from 50 to 200 watts but we also manufacture 400 watt solar panel awning for custom projects.

Our customer purchased this 430W lightweight Sunman solar panel 12 months ago and just wanted us to know that its been powering their coffee van teardrop flawlessly. It's a Great looking coffee van. These solar panels keep the curved lines of the trailer roof.

If you have a chance, buy a coffee from and check out the teardrop.

Noted at the Let's Go Caravan and Camping show, were different power systems on caravan , canopy, camper, and van builds. Some are very extensive and others simple but practical.

The last photo shows a camper van that uses a lithium power station. As the power station has a 12V 30A output, it is just plugged into a fuse panel to operate all the DC accessories in the van. AC appliances are operated directly from the power station inverter. Charging is provided by solar and alternator charging.

The caravan power system could also use a power station for a simple install. Just plug in four connections; DC and AC output, solar and alternator charge leads. 👍

If you have an older caravan that has a basic power system, consider using a power station to meet your ofgrid needs. Let us know your thoughts?

A customer asked us to assess a failed ALPHA ESS 1000W lithium power station. On disassembly, it was noted that this brand has no intention for repair. The fuses for the DC and AC circuits are soldered to the board....what the. Unfortunately, there were no parts and little technical support from the importer to repair this unit.

A customer installed two 200W SP200MB Volttech solar panels. Replacing one 150W and fitting a new second solar panel. Interesting the older 150W solar panel was basically the same size as the new 200W, which was fitted between the same brackets.

Rolasolar imported the first retail LiFePo4 portable power station back in 2014. Known as the Solarpod 240 and its big brother, the Solarpod 1K. It was sold to campers, businesses, and emergency services.

We had a previous customer bring in his Solarpod 240, which was left in storage for 5 years and then expected to just turn on. Anyway, we had a spare battery, and with a change over, all is now functioning well.

All lithium batteries need regular checking and charging to the manufacturers' recommendations if in storage.

We are currently testing a new portable lithium power station, which is the first of this model into Australia. This is the Pecron E3600LFP power station and one EP3000-48 auxiliary battery.

* E3600LFP has 3072Wh of battery capacity (expandable to 15360Wh), 3600w pure sine wave inverter, and various DC outputs, including a 30A 12v DC.

*EP3000-48 3072Wh of battery capacity, with various DC outputs, including a 30A 12v DC.
*With one auxiliary battery, this system has a total capacity of 6144Wh or at 12.8v, 480Ah.

We'll be using this portable portable station as our home backup power supply for the pending arrived of cyclone Alfred here in southeast Queensland.

Please, all affected by this cyclone, take care.
