In a significant move that underscores the growing importance of off-grid energy solutions in the automotive and recreational vehicle industries, AM Solar, an industry leader in RV power solutions, is proud to announce its new partnership with Wesco International, a leading provider of business-to-business distribution, logistics services and supply chain solutions. This collaboration introduces AM Solar as a supplier of mobile power systems and components for Wesco, paving the way for more simplified energy independence in recreational travel and off-grid housing.

Empowering Off-Grid RV Adventures

AM Solar, known for its commitment to quality and innovation, has been at the forefront of mobile power technology, specializing in providing top-tier solar power systems designed specifically for recreational vehicles such as RVs, van conversions, and Airstream trailers, as well as tiny homes. By partnering with Wesco, AM Solar extends its reach and influence, ensuring that RV owners have access to the best energy solutions available, directly influencing the enjoyment of their travels.

Key Highlights of the Supplier Partnership:

1. RV Solar Power Solutions

Since 2002, AM Solar’s primary business model has been built around providing top-quality mobile power system installations. Along the way, the team’s research and development conducted in installation bays on recreational vehicles has led to the creation and support of complete, user-friendly kits, sold online, for end users.

AM Solar creates complete kits, with properly sized cables, lugs, heat shrink, etc., built around quality components. The complete solar kits come with individualized wiring diagrams, programming instructions, and free tech support from a team that has seen and successfully dealt with thousands of installations. Now, with Wesco, AM Solar brings these products, experience, and expertise to a much larger market.

2. Innovation and Quality

AM Solar’s reputation for high-quality, innovative products aligns with Wesco’s standards for excellence in the products and services they offer, ensuring that customers receive the best possible solutions for their needs. AM Solar’s innovation includes a roof-mounted solar panel combiner box designed specifically for large mobile applications, solar panel mounting hardware, and a patented transfer switch device that allows a single-leg inverter to supply both sides of a 50A AC panel.

3. Nationwide Impact

With Wesco’s extensive distribution network, this partnership significantly increases the availability of AM Solar’s cutting-edge solar products across the U.S., making RV and recreational travel more accessible than ever before.

A Win-Win for Off-Grid Mobile Power

“Wesco is continuing to strengthen our off-grid offerings with the addition of AM Solar as a supplier. AM Solar offers industry-leading products and services with a level of knowledge in off-grid that is unparalleled,” said Chris Wadsworth, Vice President and General Manager, Global OEM at Wesco. “With Wesco’s national reach and AM Solar’s expertise, together we will set new standards for off-grid power solutions, customer experience, and innovations.”

“We are very excited to be working with Wesco, as their channels and resources perfectly complement our abilities and vision for the future of mobile off-grid power,” said Garret Towne, president of AM Solar. He added, “High-level support and product knowledge are rarely associated with wholesale distributor pricing and volume, but AM Solar has found a way. By deliberately re-investing in people and software rather than short-term growth opportunities, AM Solar has been able to leverage more than two decades of experience into a highly efficient machine, staffed by masters of the trade.”

For RV owners looking to make their travel experiences more comfortable and efficient, the partnership between AM Solar and Wesco offers an unparalleled opportunity to invest in high-quality solar solutions.
