I reached out to Great Outdoors Solar for a complete install on my RV. Elyse was very polite and professional. I was scheduled in a timely manner. The installation took about a week, and looks great. They respected my request for item locations. I reached out to them a few times for clarification and with a few questions. Quick response and very helpful!
I am very pleased with the installation and price, and would highly recommend Great Outdoors Solar!

Very good experience working with Thomas & Stacy on our travel trailer solar install. Very professional and thorough in the prep & installation. They kept us well informed on the process every step of the way. I video recorded his orientation on how to use all of the features of the system and find it very useful as it is a little overwhelming to try and remember all of the new functions of the solar setup. We love the capabilities that it provides for us to be able to camp anywhere.

The attention to detail is impressive; down to the smallest wire harness. The workmanship was impeccable. Great Outdoors Solar is very knowledgeable when it comes to RV solar, down to the smallest detail. I am so very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Great Outdoors Solar for your RV solar needs! I would hire them again.

Stacy and Thomas of Great Outdoors Solar installed a fantastic system for us. They spent time during our original consultation learning about our camping style and coming up with a system that would fit our needs. They worked hard to perform the install cleanly and professionally. They were wonderful about listening to and answering all our queries. Most importantly, they stand behind their work and are very responsive when it comes to support calls. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Lastly, they are just good people and we hope to see them on the road!

My wife and I drove from NY to Fla the last weekend of FEB. I would never had driven 2300 miles in a week if I did not feel that Thomas and Stacy could complete my full solar install in 4 days. They were just amazing to work with, had the patience to walk through all of the details for our 5th wheel system. Professional install all around, from the 5 solar panels to hiding all of the batteries etc: under the fwd floor storage area. 5 stars, Thanks again Thomas and Stacy.

Thomas and Stacy helped me design and install my solar system (including lithium batteries and a large inverter) before they were actually "Great Outdoors Solar." They did a great job, and are wonderful people to work with. Thomas knows what he is doing and has great attention to detail.

Tom and his staff at Great Outdoors Solar are just the best! Tom's company did the DC to DC chargers and inverter on my Northern Lite Truck Camper. I spoke to several installers before choosing Great Outdoors Solar. I new immediately Tom was my guy. My system works flawlessly and I am very happy with the service and installation. It is amazing! I am making my own power for off grid situations. My system runs my AC unit and supplies all my power needs. I can't recommend them enough.

It was a pleasure to work with Elyse and Adam to have our Class A motor home fitted with a comprehensive photo-voltaic system. Our 37' class A motor home is a 50A unit with two A/Cs, microwave, and washer/dryer. We bought a 10-panel (2KW)/5 battery (206AH each; 1030AH total) system which has provided us with amazing comfort and convenience.

One trip our surge suppressor failed but indicated normal operation, so we connected via a 30AH converter and limited incoming power to 28AH. Forgetting I had lowered the threshold from 48AH to 28AH (to avoid over-drawing the pedestal), we continued to run both A/C units, used the microwave, and used the washer and dryer. Because the load was split between shore power and our Great Outdoors Solar PV system, everything worked seamlessly.

I will add that, following the issue with that low-cost Amazon surge suppressor, we bought both the Hughes Big Dog surge suppressor and their Hughes Autoformer. It is nice being able to use my phone to check both the pedestal and the PV system.

It's a joy to be able to have the front A/C unit on while traveling without having to run the generator. It was only after we had the system installed and operating that we met Tom. He's built a great business and I hope you're as pleased with the system you get from them as we are with ours!

From start to finish, this company was absolutely amazing to work with. Starting with the estimate stage, they had unbelievable patience and their knowledge of solar and RV battery systems was remarkable. I asked a lot of stupid questions and they were extremely understanding and took their time explaining everything to me in a way that I could understand. I must of called 4 different times and each time they were glad to answer my questions without rushing.......they made sure that I understood everything and was comfortable with my decisions.
The lithium battery install by Adam was first class. He is a perfectionist and you sure can tell by looking at the finished product. He takes extreme pride in his work and uses only the best parts and accessories. He called several times during the 5 hour install to keep me updated.
You just can't ask for a better company to do work on your RV battery/solar systems.
I am extremely happy with their quality work!!!
Bravo Zulu Great Outdoors Solar !!!

Thomas and his team at Great Outdoors Solar is the best. They installed a 3200W system on the top of my 2017 New Horizons Majestic fifth wheel and I still have room to get around up there. The dual Victron Quattro inverters allow me to run both air conditioners and the six Battle Born GC3 give me over 1600 amp hours. After the install, I took the RV to have a new generator installed and they were so impressed by the solar work. They asked for Tom’s name and number. Due to my ignorance I am also relying on there after sales support and it too has been stellar. You cannot go wrong at Great Outdoors Solar. I attached a few pictures.
