Has anyone tracked how much energy your Pebble loses overnight while awake, with everything possible turned off? I have been tracking the last couple of nights with everything off (air, fridge,…
Would these work with an R1T or Pebble?
I haven’t tried this yet, but does anyone know if I turn the Pebble off, does that mean the solar panel is also turned off? Just wondering, because I’m about to put it in storage tomorrow and it’s…
Has anyone considered retrofitting, or suggesting that Pebble offer, a solar awning? It seems like a way to add solar capacity when roof space is limited.
Pebble reports that a small number of owners have reported rooftop solar-panel damage. Inspections so far have found no immediate safety concern, with reported damage limited to the panel itself.…
I just bought my Founder Edition and see these patches on a solar panel. I picked it up recently and just saw the rooftop today.
Based on another owner's report, I inspected my solar panels and found similar damage. The two panels closest to the rear of the trailer are affected. I will contact Pebble support to see how they…
At Goldstream Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, dense forest meant solar production was nil. I tried charging directly from the R1T at 8 and 10A, but the Pebble charger threw Error F after about…
When everyone is charging their Pebble and parked in direct sunlight, what is the max rooftop solar panel contribution you’re seeing? My Pebble seems to generate max 0.84 kW.
EVgo definitely doesn't work with the Pebble, and InstaCamp doesn't keep it from going to sleep after a few hours. Not what I expected, especially since the battery was at 51%. I'm concerned because…
Anyone figure out how to keep the Pebble from going to sleep? I have mine in storage and it seems to sleep after an hour or two, even when the solar panels are at max charge. I'm trying to see if…
Anyone know if there is a way to make the Pebble keep charging the battery from solar while it's in sleep mode? I have been monitoring my new one and it seems to fully shut down in sleep mode,…
Thanks for all the detailed responses—this is super helpful. I like the idea of using a separate solar + battery system as a way to extend off-grid time rather than trying to rely on the trailer…
It looks like electric RVs may be getting more popular than we thought. I carefully evaluated both products when they were launched. I firmly believe both products are the future for RVs, but the…
Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a realistic sense of off-grid performance with the Pebble Flow and wanted to hear from people actually using it. I recently watched this video where they broke down…
My Pebble rooftop solar is working just fine, but flat rooftop solar on a trailer will always be limited at higher latitudes, in shaded campsites, and during shorter days seasonally. I’d like to have…
In case anyone is wondering, here is the electrical behind the microwave—there are a few extra outlets back here if you need them!
I too would like to have an electrical diagram, in particular the solar circuit and specifications for the solar controller. Pebble does not provide for input from external solar panels, as many RV…
I think it depends a great deal on circumstances: how much solar you’re getting, how long you run the HVAC, and how big a temperature differential you’re asking the HVAC to overcome. If it’s 95°…
Also, will magnets work on the shell? I want to get a magnetic Starlink mount for the roof.
An overnight transfer from an R1T to a Pebble using the 110V R1T outlet (1,500 W) could add +/- 18 kWh, not accounting for inverter, charger, and other losses, to the Pebble’s 45 kWh pack. My R1T Max…
As we go into some colder months, it would be interesting to hear people’s experience out there in the real world with heating in the Pebble Flow. In my electric car, it’s always curious to me that…
Marketing says “up to 7 days.” Pebble’s FAQ says: “The 45 kWh battery, combined with the optional 1.1 kW of integrated rooftop solar, is enough to power all of the trailer's appliances and allow…
Whenever the sun is out, yes. The solar is relatively small compared to the battery capacity, so I would think of it as a top-off instead of a full charge.
That's awesome—so is it always topping off the battery with solar?
