RVs are more and more commonly becoming outfitted with the latest environmentally friendly technology and it’s translating into improved RV sales. Solar panels are not yet a common sight on RVs, but are quickly associated with them in regards to a green RV. The biggest catch to the craze on solar panels is how expensive they are.

While the expense of solar panels has been their biggest deterrent, solar panels are finally growing up. The reason behind the cost of solar panels is the ingredients. Platinum is not a cheap product to use and until now, no better substitute could be found. However, UQUAM has been working on it. Their new technology might see a lot more solar panels flying off the shelf.

Traditional solar panels are made with platinum, which is a costly material. This is one reason, even with increased demand that prices haven’t dropped significantly since solar panels were introduced. The other issue, reports Ben Coxworth in his article Breakthrough in Low Cost Efficient Solar Cells, is problems with passage of light through the dark coating.

Ben Coxworth’s article, Breakthrough in Low Cost Efficient Solar Cells, explains the new materials being employed and how even the coating on solar panels is being updated with a new lighter liquid/gel that is more resistant to aging than traditional electrolytes.

The solar panels aren’t available to consumers, yet. Being able to offer eco-friendly accessories for RVs is only going to increase RV sales. While lightweight trailers and pop-ups have been appealing to the younger, greener generation, so are ways to maintain an environmentally friendly trailer.

Solar panels aren’t the only things greening the RV industry. Even the simple things are having a big effect, such as LED lighting. LED lights have become popular with RV travelers because less money is spent on energy bills and they have a longer life than regular light bulbs. Manufacturers are making it easy for RV owners to replace regular light bulbs by designing fixtures that are aimed at RVs.

Pouring vegetable oil into your RV may sound insane, but RVs can run on biodiesel. The catch is, RVs do have to retrofitted to take the biofuel. Without it, you might have a disaster on your hands. Kits are out there that teach RV owners how to convert their vehicles, or professionals can install the biodiesel kit for you. On the road, you may get to know some interesting people as you fill up at a local restaurant instead of gas station. Regular diesel is still needed for ignition, but after you get moving, it’s a quick switch over to biodiesel.

RV sales are benefiting from helping the earth. The more they green their practices, the wider possible consumer base they have access to.
