Xpanse 1200 Watt Solar System
Xpanse is the industy’s first retractable rigid solar panel system. With 50 double-side solar panels, Xpanse generates 1200 watts of power and when closed, is protected in a metal shell that sits on only 6” of space on the roof corner.
Our low footprint design is perfect for vehicles with limited roof space. Also, with solar panels on top and underneath, Xpanse generates energy even when the sun isn’t shining directly overhead so you can top off your battery and run your appliances no matter where you are.

PERFORMANCE
More Power from Double-sided Solar Panels
Unlike typical rooftop solar, Xpanse solar panels have PV cells on top and underneath. This design allows the system to generate energy from the sun above and from below through reflected light. This means even if you’re not parked in the optimal orientation or if the top panels are covered by dirt, snow, or even shade, you can still generate power.
Better Airflow for More Power
Solar panels typically get less efficient the hotter they get. That’s why panels mounted close to the RV roof can overheat due to low airflow, reducing their performance. Unlike rooftop solar, Xpanse is extended away from the vehicle with open airflow above, underneath, and all around, helping it stay cooler to maximize energy production even on hot days.
Extensively Tested for Wide Operating Range
Xpanse™ has been designed and tested to withstand harsh conditions such as rough travel over mixed terrain, vibration, impacts, 45 mph winds, heavy rain, intense blowing sand, temperatures from -4° to 140° F, corrosion, UV, and more.
Compact
The Xpanse™ small-footprint design mounts to only 10” of your vehicle’s roof corner, making it perfect if you have limited roof space or if you wanted to add power to your existing rooftop solar without taking up precious space inside your vehicle.
Easy To Use
Simply push a button and Xpanse opens or closes within 30 seconds. The system is easy to learn and operate.
PROTECTION
Armored
The rugged metal shell protects the panels from rocks and other flying objects when your vehicle is on the move or during bad weather, like hail, that would otherwise damage exposed rooftop solar.
When Wind Blows, Xpanse Doesn’t
Sturdy support arms are made from high-strength aluminum and specifically designed to withstand high winds. Xpanse’s SmartSensing technology also uses multiple sensors that automatically retract the system when winds exceed 20 mph to stay out of harm’s way.
IP66 Weather Rating
Using high quality materials and a rigorous manufacturing process, Xpanse is waterproof and dust-tight.
Closed Means Closed
Xpanse has a triple redundant safety design that ensures when its fully closed and locked, it stays that way so you can drive your vehicle without worrying about accidental opening. Also, with the Xponent Power mobile app, you’ll get alerts to unexpected Xpanse operations.
Modular for Low Maintenance
All Xpanse parts are modular, which means they can easily replaced if damaged. Also, each of the solar panels independently generate energy so even if a panel gets damaged, the other 49 panels keep working so you can stay off-grid longer with minimal downtime to keep the good times rolling.

REAL-TIME ENERGY GENERATION
See your Xpanse's solar energy generation and compare to past time periods. You can also see your rooftop solar's power if its charge controller provides that data. No more guesswork; you’ll always know how much power you're creating.
REAL TIME BATTERY STATUS
See your battery level to make sure you're always topped off for the adventures ahead. Battery charge and discharge history also helps you learn how to make the most of your power.
PARKING ASSIST
Simply line up your vehicle's nose to the green to position for maximum energy generation. Green means go!
Vehicle Fit Guide
Xpanse best fits RV, motorhome, trailer, and service trucks with flat roofs and minimally curved roof corners. One or more Xpanses can be installed on either side of the vehicle, including over a slide out if the top most part of the slide out is more than 4” from the roof corner and extends less than 5’ from vehicle side.
Please contact us at info@xponentpower.com or check with your installer to determine if obstructions such as vents, rooftop solar, windows, brackets, etc can be moved.
