Which components are part of the system? A perfectly matched trio: CALIFAKTUR Solar System, SaftkistePRO Lithium Battery, and Victron Inverter. Will my vehicle warranty remain valid? Yes – thanks to the official "Certificate of Non-Objection" (UBB) from Volkswagen. Can I run devices like coffee machines or induction cooktops? Yes, when combined with the Victron 230V Inverter and Lithium Package. What makes the CALIFAKTUR Solar Module special? It is a complete DIY kit: pre-assembled components, no-drill/no-glue mounting on original rails, and step-by-step video support. Can I install it myself? Yes. Over 99% of our customers successfully install the Plug & Play set themselves using our provided tools and guides. Will my Camper Unit (CU) still work correctly? Yes. T6.1/T7: Connect the negative terminal of the solar controller to the chassis ground (ground point under the battery).

When used with the AutarkiepaketPRO, all data is conveniently displayed in the Saftkiste App. Is it weatherproof and low-profile? Yes. It’s built for harsh conditions (rain, hail, sun) and stays well below the 2-meter vehicle height limit for parking garages and ferries. Does it work with standard AGM batteries? Yes. It works as a standalone solar upgrade for factory AGM batteries or as the perfect addition to the AutarkiepaketPRO for maximum lithium power. 🎬 SUPPORT US If this video helped you, please: 👍 Like | 📬 Subscribe | 🔔 Turn on Notifications Questions?
