Problem
Van and bus conversion enthusiasts often face complex, time-consuming electrical installations that require piecing together mismatched components like solar chargers, inverters, and batteries. This process demands significant technical expertise, increases the risk of wiring errors, and discourages many from pursuing sustainable off-grid living.
Solution
Terravan Solar provides plug-and-play power systems that combine essential electrical components into compact, pre-wired units. Their flagship Tetrapack integrates a 3000W inverter-charger, 660W MPPT solar charger, 660W alternator charger, and a 230Ah LiFePO4 battery in a single box, while the Eclipse model adds a built-in distribution panel for seamless vehicle integration. These systems support charging from solar, alternator, and grid sources, and include features like automatic battery heating for cold-weather performance. Users can expand capacity with add-on battery packs, and the company offers installation support via phone, email, or video call to guide customers through their builds.
Target Audience
Primary customers are DIY van-lifers, skoolie owners, and adventure seekers building their own mobile living spaces, as well as professional van conversion shops seeking simplified, reliable power solutions.
