Heartland RV is presenting a new line of solar packages available across RV models. SŌL – Powered By The Sun offers multiple tiers of solar energy systems created to meet the growing need of customers for new technology and more sustainable RVing practices.
The company says the SŌL – Powered By The Sun system is simple to expand, allowing dealers and customers to increase solar capability and adapt components to customize their solar package. Solar packages are available to purchase through Heartland’s customer service and parts department. Heartland said its goal is to allow campers to adapt components to their solar needs both in the present day and for years to come.
Solar power can help reduce energy costs, provide clean and renewable energy and offer flexibility in travel. It’s also quiet and requires minimal upkeep, which makes the upfront costs an investment in years of low-maintenance use.
The introduction of SŌL – Powered By the Sun helps meet customer demand for robust solar options and joins existing sustainability programs at Heartland. Ongoing efforts are focused on reducing manufacturing waste, increasing recycling of materials and streamlining manufacturing practices with automation.
“SŌL – Powered By The Sun fits into our larger sustainability goals by offering a complete solar solution for every RV model we create,” said Jim Fenner, vice president of Engineering, Quality and Customer Service at Heartland. “As part of the outdoor travel industry, we feel it’s our responsibility to provide smart, energy-efficient solutions in our RVs to help preserve the natural beauty of the outdoors for generations to come.”
Heartland has entered into an exclusive agreement with AIMS Power to provide solar components through distributor Collins & Co. Established in 2001, AIMS Power supplies the largest selection of DC to AC inverters, solar panels and solar charge controllers to OEMs and the RV aftermarket. The company is headquartered in South Reno, Nevada, and will have an additional distribution facility in Davie, Florida, in 2023.
“When Heartland RV decided to add solar across their entire product line, it was an honor for all of us at AIMS Power to be selected as their exclusive partner,” said Bruce de Jong, President of AIMS Power. “Together we have designed various systems for every unit they manufacture. Through Collins & Co., we will be supplying products including solar panels, charge controllers, power inverters, and other required equipment for the best mobile experience in the industry.”
SŌL – Powered By The Sun packages are available in all new Heartland models starting Oct. 1.
