KEYSTONE RV SOLARFLEX 200 - Everything you need to know.

Keystone RV's Josh Miller & Jon Brock walk you through SolarFlex 200 and the expansion options for this system. Begining in the fall of 2022, EVERY Keystone RV now ships with SolarFlex 200 as standard, factory-installed equipment.
 
Out of the box, RVs equipped with SolarFlex 200 also have a Zamp side port. Owners can easily add a portable solar panel which is great for shady campsites because they can be positioned away from the RV to capture the maximum sun. Portable panels are also a great way to keep your battery charged when the camper is covered.
 
Core SolarFlex 200 components:
-- 200-watt Future Solutions solar panel, 30 amp roof port with MC4 locking connectors,
-- Zamp side port to add a portable panel,
-- 15 amp Victron Smart solar charge controller,
-- inverted loop pre-wired for up to seven outlets, and a smartphone app to monitor the system 
 
Most base-level OEM solar power systems start with a 100-watt panel – sometimes smaller. It’s simply not enough. For the same price, Keystone is giving owners a base solar power package with a 200-watt Future Solutions solar panel which will fill a typical group 27 RV battery in one full day of peak sun.   
 
While batteries aren’t included with the SolarFlex 200 system, it works perfectly with lead-acid, AGM, and Lithium. The SolarFlex 200 Quick Start Guide, found on the Keystone website shows you how to set up the charge controller whichever kind of batteries you add to the system.
 
Experts agree that solar power performs at its best when paired with quality Lithium-ion batteries. For this reason, we’ve made it possible to add industry-leading Dragonfly Energy lithium-ion batteries to any Keystone RV purchase. These batteries are available exclusively through authorized Keystone RV dealers. Watch our video about the difference between lead-acid and lithium batteries to learn more.

How about an diy video on how to easily expand our system by adding an inverter?

[cherylkilroy]

Hi Josh, Hi Jon It was great meeting you both at the Keystone RV Brand Ambassador Rally in August

I have a 2018 keystone cougar 22 RBS was curious how much I could use for wattage plugged into the side of the camper

[scottisherwood]

Hello, I have a new Cougar 23MLE with the 400 solaflex, I've always covered my units with a cover. Doing this however with solar would obviously be a mistake as the pannels could no longer catch the sun correct? That being said how can we protect our units from the elements now?

[EARLNICKLES]

The nuts and bolts are fine but how do you operate the system? Switches to turn? Does the refrigerator operate off the truck? Will the Solar operate while driving and keep refrigerator operating? Our trailer is plugged in year-round in the storage building should solar be turned off?

We have a 2024 Keystone Bulletin Crossfire where is the inverter located?

[jimp-qdnj]

New camper Passport), came with solar flex 200. question, does the side port connector for solar go directly to battery for power? I assume would not run through current controller? and anyway deal with the reverse polarity with these connectors? kooking for a porable solar panel to use when dry camping and / or when covered. Thanks

[brandonsipes]

I have a 2022 keystone passport the inverted solar outlets don’t work so idk what to check I still get power to lights and everywhere else

[tomcat-fkxm]

What is the typical cost for a solar install - batteries?

[buckjr]

Can you add additional panels to the 200 system or no?

[seanandrson]

Will a 200 watt panel produce enough energy/recharge if the unit is equipped with a 12v Everchill 10 cubic foot fridge? As delivered in your Springdale units?

[georgefortier]

I have a 2022 Raptor 423 with SolarFlex 200. I want to upgrade to 1200i but would accept 600 if necessary. I called Keystone dealers in Wyoming and Rapid city area. Service seemed to think I was speaking Mandarin and forwarded me to parts who didn’t know anything. I am very capable of putting this in myself. I actually don’t trust an RV service dept to do it right. 
What do I need and where do I get it?

[danmay]

Might be a wise idea to note that any expansion panels connected to the zamp plug should have their own solar controller.

[LifeWithTheBirdsnthePoconos]

Just bought an rv with the 200 on it. How does it work with snow? Does the snow melt? will it still charge with snow on it?

[Raymondc]

Can you show the actual victron app for the controller not the battery. (BMV 700H is a battery monitor) How about a video on "if your solar is working correctly it should look like this". Don't give me an ad for what is installed, actually show how it works and better yet how to troubleshoot it.

[jandkstudio]

Got the 200 watt solar panel can’t get the outlets to work for me how would I fix?

[johnpossible]

Me snd my wife just picked up our 2022 bulket premier with the silarflex 200 system. We also added a 100 amp hour dragonfly lithium battery. I asked the guy at the dealership if this system with that charge controller if it is bluetooth capable and he told me no. So im confused because you guys say it is BT capable with an app. So how do I connect to the app?

[superdloz]

I purchased a used 2021 Arcadia 3660rl and it only has the roof ports. No solar panel or controller. I thought this was standard. Also where does the inverter get installed. Under the bed? That is were the breaker labeled Solar goes to the GFCI?

[SopranoJessi]

I have a 2022 Passport GT Series with the two solar Panels and we have 2 batteries. We unplugged from an RV site during a storm, then our tv shut and lights dimmed. Found the panel in the storage and it was beeping and blinking that battery was low. So how was it that with 2 solar panels and 2 batteries, we didn't have enough power for the TV? The Battery Disconnect was on. Do we have to do anything when we unplug from power /boondock?

[LifeWithTheBirdsnthePoconos]

Should I disconnect my battery when not in use? I've noticed once in awhile when I heck otherwise trailer, the radios power is on.
