Solarwyse Weekend Warrior Series
Off-Grid Power for Your Weekend Away
The lights are on, the cabin is welcoming and your weekend can begin. The Weekend Warrior Series brings off-grid power to cabins, cottages, hunting camps and occasional retreats.
Whether you want to charge phones and rechargeable lights, keep a small fridge cold or run a water pump for a shower, we’ll design around what you use and how long you stay.
These systems supply 120-volt AC power only. Your appliances must suit that supply, including a 120-volt water pump. How many items you can run at once depends on the inverter, battery and the starting demands of your equipment.
Power for the Way You Visit
Solar can recharge your batteries between visits, helping you make the most of your time away. Suitable systems can also use generator charging during longer stays or cloudy weather. Recharge time depends on the battery bank, charger, generator and power being used.
Choose a prewired package for less assembly on site, a modular Victron system or individual components for experienced installers. Prewired options include 3,000-watt packages.
Remote monitoring is available with suitable equipment and an internet connection, so you can check your system from home.
What Happens Next?
Tell us what you want to power, how often you visit and what equipment you already have. We’ll help you choose an inverter, battery bank and solar array that work together for your weekend plans.
You’ll know what comes with the package, what must be supplied locally and what installation work remains. And when you have questions, Solarwyse is here to help.
Choose Your Installation Option
Our easiest installation option is an SRNE package ordered prewired and mounted on a back panel, with battery cables and a breaker already installed. It reduces assembly and wiring on site, while still requiring final connections and installation.
Victron offers a modular system assembled around your needs. A compatible VE Panel brings manual disconnects, protection and connection points together; the inverter remains a separate component. It provides a practical foundation with room for future additions.
For small charging needs, a removable, single-outlet Kisae option can serve phones, rechargeable lights and similar items. It requires a separate battery and charge controller.
We also supply individual components for experienced installers, including qualified electricians. We’ll help select compatible equipment; the installer supplies the required interconnecting wiring and completes the assembly.
What You’ll Supply Locally
Additional TECK90 cables are required, with cable sizes and lengths determined by your equipment and installation. We’ll identify the wiring, terminations and protection included in the package and what your installer must supply locally.
Some models provide power through an outlet; others may connect to a cabin’s distribution panel. Not every model supports a panel connection, so we’ll confirm this before you order. All battery connections and fixed wiring need suitable cables, protection and installation that meets applicable electrical requirements.
Will It Run What You Need?
A Weekend Warrior system can run many everyday 120-volt appliances when loads are managed within its capacity. A 120-volt washer or gas dryer may also be possible, depending on its running load, starting demand and the energy available. We’ll check your equipment rather than promise that everything can run together.
If you need 120/240-volt power, a suitably selected transformer may be an option, but it does not add power or battery capacity. The Homestead Series is usually a better starting point for those needs or for planned growth.
Homestead can begin with a modest battery bank and an inverter selected for possible future loads. It can stay small if your needs stay small, or expand as life changes—helping protect your original investment.
We’ll work through the complete system: solar panels, MC4 wiring and a combiner where needed, charge controller, inverter, battery, and the appropriate breakers, fuses and terminations. Some equipment combines several functions. Your quotation will make the included components clear.
