Frequently Asked Questions

What do you offer?

If you are looking for an off grid system, JES can install complete solar systems or upgrades your current system for you. We only install products purchased through JES and do not warranty or install third party products. 

How much does your average solar installation cost?

Solar installs vary from basic battery back ups to full off-grid systems with integrated generator.  It will come down to what amount of autonomy you would like. The average installation costs for a full solar system can range between $5,000 to $25,000. To get a better understanding of your power needs and personal system costs please feel free to contact us.

How long does it take to install the average solar installation?

A full solar installation typically takes approximately 25 - 90 hours depending on the specific project. We ask to have each RV for 1 -2 weeks in the shop. We currently have a 4 week lead time for installations. 

How do you assist during DIY installations?

We cannot at this time aid in DIY consultations or user provided DIY part installation support. If you would like a system designed and installed in our shop. Please contact us.

Do you offer warranties?

Many of our components have their own warranties underwritten by the manufacturer.  We do our best to ensure that all components are properly installed to the manufacturers specifications. Our workmanship is 100% guaranteed, aside from normal wear and tear over time. Road vibration can cause electrical connections to loosen over time, and we expect RVers to periodically have check-ups performed. 

What is your return and cancellation policy?

There is no cancellation fee 30 days prior to your scheduled appointment. Cancellation within 30 days of your scheduled appointment will incur a 20% fee on the material costs. This fee covers your consultation time, restocking fees, shipping fees and impact on shop scheduling.

There is no fee if you wish to reschedule your assigned appointment date. Please contact us as soon as possible to take another available time slot. Please be aware rescheduling will be based upon availability. 

How many batteries do I need?

Each individual lifestyle is different and unique. We like to say that there is not a one size fits all system. The average weekend camper can run off 200 - 400ah utilizing lithium batteries.  If you are looking to head out on a 3-5 day trip you may require 400-600ah in lithium batteries. A full time system will start at 600 - 1200ah in lithium batteries. These are common sizes we have seen from previous installations and power audit calculations. Please contact us to determine your personal system size and components.

What brands do you use?

We work with a variety of brands to build and develop the best systems for each client. Some brands we work with are: Am Solar, LifeBlue, Battleborn, Victron Energy, Zamp Solar, Rich Solar and Blue Sea.
