VW California energy setup — ready 200W and 300W kits
You’re not buying a single panel. You’re buying an energy setup: panel + MPPT + mounting plate + cabling + (optional) power station + alternator charger. Below — exact configurations for 3 real-world scenarios.
Setup A: Weekend (150W base)
Who it’s for: VW California T7 Beach Tour (LiFePO4 40 Ah), 2–3 day weekends, fridge + charging electronics.
- Flex System 150W panel — 4,800 PLN
- MPPT (included)
- Mounting plate (included)
- Cabling + battery sensor (included)
What you can power: compressor fridge (30–50W), LED lighting (10–15W total), charging phones/laptop, fans. What you CAN’T power: 230V (coffee maker, boiler, hairdryer).
Total price: 4,800 PLN. Typical customer: weekend traveller, no remote work.
Setup B: Multi-day (200W + buffer)
Who it’s for: VW California T5/T6/T6.1 (AGM), 7–14 day trips, fridge + laptop + occasional coffee maker.
- Flex System 200W panel — 6,190 PLN (regular 6,800 PLN)
- MPPT + plate + cabling (included)
- (Option) EcoFlow Delta 3 — 2,500 PLN (1,024 Wh buffer, 230V 1,800W)
What you can power: everything from Setup A plus 230V via Delta 3 — pressure coffee maker (2–3 cups daily), charging power tools, small spot heater. Surplus from the panel keeps the AGM in good shape.
Total price (with Delta 3): ~8,700 PLN. Typical customer: family trips 1–2× per month.
Setup C: Full independence (300W + station + alternator)
Who it’s for: VW California T6.1 / T7 Ocean, remote work from the van, 14+ day trips without campsites, coffee maker, boiler, e-bikes.
- Flex System 300W panel — 6,999 PLN
- EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus (1,024 Wh, 1,500W AC) — included
- EcoFlow Alternator Charger 800W (charges the station while driving) — included
How it works: Sun → 300W panel → MPPT → AGM + surplus to Delta 3. Driving → alternator → Alternator Charger 800W → Delta 3 (full in an hour). Stationary → Delta 3 powers coffee maker, boiler, e-bikes. All without an inverter, without stress, without campsites.
