Instruction for TÜV Brochure: Installing Solar Panels on Recreational Vehicles
The TÜV Association, a renowned organisation dedicated to maintaining technical safety and promoting trust in the digital world, has published a new leaflet titled "Photovoltaic systems in/on vehicles". This comprehensive guide offers practical advice for professionally and safely installing solar power systems on mobile homes.
Frank Schneider, a vehicle technology expert at the TÜV Association, emphasises the benefits of such installations, stating that they provide an emission-free and independent source of electrical power. However, he stresses the importance of professional installation to ensure safety and efficiency.
The new leaflet, available for purchase in the TÜV Association's online shop for €24.90, includes detailed guidelines on mechanical mounting of modules, energy storage systems, and regulators. It also addresses aspects such as grounding, fire protection, reflection behaviour, and roof load.
In addition to electrical safety requirements, like line dimensioning, fuses, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the leaflet provides technical rules for cable protection, connection technology, and insulation monitoring. These measures aim to reduce costly corrections during vehicle inspections and ensure the safe installation of solar power systems.
The leaflet primarily targets experts entrusted with individual inspections, change approvals, or vehicle inspection within the main inspection. However, it also contains comprehensive advice that can help do-it-yourselfers install PV systems professionally and safely. Specialists often encounter amateurish homemade constructions that ignore basic safety requirements when installing solar energy systems on mobile homes.
The TÜV Association's commitment to sustainability extends beyond solar power. They also focus on the sustainability of vehicles, products, facilities, and services. This focus is reflected in their regular exchange with politics, authorities, media, companies, and consumers.
On a related note, the world's largest motorhome exhibition, "Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2025", is scheduled to take place from August 29 to September 7, 2025, in Düsseldorf exhibition halls. This event promises to showcase the latest innovations and trends in the mobile home industry.
For those interested in the TÜV Association's guidelines for motorhomes, their leaflet 740 "Requirements for the vehicle type motorhome" is still available for purchase in their online shop for €42.64. This leaflet references relevant standards such as DIN VDE 0100-721, DIN EN 50618, and UN regulations.
In conclusion, the TÜV Association's new leaflet 769 "Photovoltaic systems in/on vehicles" provides valuable resources for professionals and enthusiasts alike, aiming to ensure safe and efficient installation of solar power systems in mobile homes.
