Solar panels are a fantastic way to generate free, reliable power for your motorhome, especially when you’re touring off-grid or when your vehicle is parked up for long periods.
Many motorhome owners don’t realise how much power is used even when the vehicle isn’t in use — things like trackers, alarms, control panels, and standby systems can all slowly drain your leisure battery over time. If the battery runs too low, it can become damaged and may eventually need replacing.
That’s where a solar panel makes a huge difference. By harnessing the power of the sun, it keeps your leisure battery topped up and healthy, preventing battery drain while your motorhome is in storage, and providing constant power while you’re travelling or camping off-grid.
There are two key benefits to adding a solar panel:
It keeps your battery charged while touring, so you can power lights, pumps, fridges, and more without needing an electric hook-up.
It maintains your battery when the motorhome is parked up, ensuring everything stays ready for your next trip.
Keep your motorhome powered, protected, and ready to roll — with a solar panel fitted by Grantham’s.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re getting the best value on solar panels.

Solar energy is clean, silent, and sustainable. By switching to solar, you’re cutting down on generator use and helping protect the beautiful places you travel to
By generating your own power, you reduce the need for electric hook-ups — saving you money over time. It’s a one-time investment that pays for itself through convenience and reduced running costs.
A solar panel keeps your leisure battery topped up even when your motorhome is not in use. This helps prevent battery drain, extends battery life, and ensures your fridge, lights, and water pump are always ready to go.
With solar power, you can enjoy complete freedom from electrical hook-ups. Your battery charges continuously during the day, allowing you to camp anywhere with confidence — perfect for wild camping or extended touring.
Once fitted, solar panels require little to no maintenance. Simply let the sun do the work — you’ll have reliable, renewable energy with minimal effort.

The right size depends on how you use your motorhome and what you power. For light use (lights, phone charging, water pump), a 100W panel is usually enough. For heavier use (TV, fridge, laptop, etc.), we recommend 150W–200W+ systems or multiple panels. Our team can calculate the ideal setup based on your habits and battery size.
Yes — almost all motorhomes and campervans can have solar panels fitted.
We offer a range of mounting options including rigid roof-mounted, semi-flexible, and portable panels, so even vehicles with limited roof space can benefit from solar power.
Solar panels can power all 12V systems — like lighting, pumps, USB sockets, and fridges.
If you need to run 240V appliances (e.g. kettles, hairdryers, microwaves), you’ll also need an inverter to convert the power from DC to AC.
Yes, but at reduced efficiency.
Even in the UK’s mixed weather, panels still generate energy from daylight (not just direct sun).
Higher wattage panels or multiple panels help compensate for dull conditions, and modern MPPT controllers optimise charging in all seasons.
Yes — we supply and fit solar panels for both caravans and motorhomes.
We can mount the panel to your caravan roof or offer a portable option that plugs into your 12V system, giving you flexibility on the go.
Most installations take half a day to a full day, depending on the system size and vehicle type.
We’ll confirm your estimated fitting time when you book, and all installations include a demonstration before you leave.
Yes. All our solar panels come with manufacturer warranties, and our fitting work is backed by our Grantham’s workmanship guarantee.
