Response to Q2:

3. Please describe the service you are requesting in detail in the space below. The more details you can provide, the better. Help us help you!

Response to Q3:

* Questions 4-9 are for electrical design and installation packages only.

4. What vehicle is this electrical system being provided for? Is this a motorized vehicle, a towable vehicle, or something else? Please include the year, make, model, and a basic description.

Response to Q4:

5. Does this vehicle already have a solar or battery electrical system installed? Is the work you are requesting new work (from scratch), or a change to the existing system(s) in your vehicle, including demolition?

Response to Q5:

6. Please provide detailed information on the types of roadways you travel on. Include information on the most extreme types of roadways you travel. Types include paved, gravel, offroad, extreme terrain, etc. This information is important for determining the rigor to which your electrical system and its components should be mechanically designed.

Response to Q6:

7. Please provide detailed information on the style(s) of camping you prefer. We need to know:

Types of campsites (RV Parks, established campsites, dispersed campsites, BLM Land, etc.)
Typical amenities (electric hookup, hot showers, restrooms, etc.)
Degree of luxury (minimalist tent camping, car camping with niceties, a little taste of glamping, hotel on wheels)
Rough electricity usage (minimal, lightweight, moderate, heavy-duty)

This will be helpful for determining the style of electrical system and electrical loads you may require.

Response to Q7:

8. Please provide detailed information on the expected conditions in which you will use this system. We need to know:

Duration (Overnight, long weekends, 1-3 weeks, or a fully nomadic lifestyle)
Seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter)
Locations (Which state(s) do you spend your time in? During which seasons?)
Temperature range (How hot/cold can it get while you camp? 20°F-110°F?)

This will help determine how much battery and solar capacity will be needed, and the required temperature safety features.

Response to Q8:

9. How much roof space do you have available for solar, if applicable? Do you currently have anything installed on the roof of your vehicle, such as a rooftop tent, crossbars, vent fans, or A/C units?

Response to Q9:

10. Final questions: What does your budget look like for this project? Do you want something simple that just works, or more controllable and energy-efficient? Are you looking for modularity, meaning a system that can be easily upgraded over time? Will you be using a traditional payment method, or do you want to barter or trade valuables? Is there anything else I should know about that these questions completely missed?

Response to Q10:

Thank you for choosing Solar Ark for your technical needs!
