When it comes to powering your RV, the right solar setup can mean the difference between constantly searching for hookups and truly living off-grid freedom. For RV enthusiast CJ Goodman, attending a Big Beard Battery Solar Clinic turned out to be one of the best investments he’s ever made — both financially and personally.
“I saved a ton of money by doing it myself,” CJ shared. “I had professional guidance along the way, and we ended up getting a bigger system for what we would’ve paid for a smaller one. Now we can run longer and stay off-grid with confidence.”
Building a DIY Solar System with Professional Support
Before discovering Big Beard Battery, CJ had priced out several solar systems — and like many RV owners, he was shocked at the cost of professional installation. But the Big Beard Battery Solar Clinic gave him the best of both worlds: the ability to build his system himself, backed by professional instruction every step of the way.
With hands-on help from certified technicians, CJ learned how to design, install, and wire his own off-grid power system. “We got two Big Beard Beast batteries, two inverters, and managed to fit it all in a really tight bay,” he said. “It was a lot of work, but after three or four days of putting in 10- to 12-hour days, it was done. And the best part is I know where everything is.”
That’s one of the biggest advantages of Big Beard Battery’s DIY-style clinics — when you install it yourself, you understand your entire system from the inside out. Troubleshooting later becomes simple because you already know where each wire and connection runs.
Confidence Through Hands-On Learning
“I’ll be honest — when I first started, I had no idea how to do this,” CJ admitted. “I thought about trying to learn on my own, but it would’ve taken months of YouTube videos and research. Here, I got expert guidance and confidence to actually do it.”
Throughout the installation process, participants at the Solar Clinic receive real-time coaching from professionals like Todd Henson, who reviews and quality-checks every completed system before sign-off. “Todd came in at the end to QA everything, and the way he walked through the system was really impressive,” CJ said. “It gives you total peace of mind.”
More Than Just Solar — It’s an Experience
What makes Big Beard Battery unique isn’t just the quality of their lithium batteries or solar gear — it’s the experience. “These guys are super nice, great hosts,” CJ added. “We had brisket one night, pizza the next, and they’ve even got a pool if you want to cool off after working all day. It’s just a really good time.”
Big Beard Battery’s Solar Clinics are designed to make off-grid living accessible to everyone. Whether you’re an RVer, van lifer, or weekend adventurer, you’ll leave not only with a professional-grade solar system but with the knowledge to maintain and troubleshoot it for years to come.
