Girard GG750 Solar Awning
Solar and Shade in One
Roof space is limited, but the Girard GG750 Solar Awning gives you a way to add meaningful solar generation (480 to 960 watts) without sacrificing room for roof fans, AC units, racks, storage, or rooftop access. Built on the black Girard GG750 cassette and paired with Apollo solar fabric, it combines shade and solar production in one legless 12V awning system. This is a strong fit for vans first, but also works for RVs, trailers, and some building applications.
It is especially compelling for larger vans or RVs where the roof is already crowded or maxed out with solar, vents, and roof penetrations. On bigger platforms, customers can maximize the roof and add one or even two solar awnings to dramatically increase total available solar capacity. If you are trying to reduce generator use, shore power dependence, or roof congestion, this awning creates a new solar surface on the side of the vehicle instead of competing for roof real estate.
This solar awning is heavier than a traditional side awning and requires adequate mounting support. Always verify structure, bracket compatibility, available mounting space, and installation method before ordering or replacing an existing awning. Since it is made to order, there are no returns.

Recommended Victron MPPT Controllers for 12V Battery Systems
| Awning Size | Power | Recommended Victron MPPT |
|---|---|---|
| 8 ft | 480W | SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 |
| 10 ft | 600W | SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 |
| 11 ft 8 in | 720W | SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 |
| 13 ft 6 in | 840W | SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 |
| 15 ft 4 in | 960W | 2x SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 |
These recommendations are for 12V battery systems. Final charge controller sizing should always be confirmed against the complete system design, battery voltage, cable run, and solar integration plan.
Why a Solar Awning Instead of More Roof Panels
Most vans run out of easy roof space fast. Roof fans, air conditioners, storage boxes, racks, antennas, and walking paths all compete with fixed solar panels. A solar awning gives you another large solar surface without forcing more compromises on the roof.
For many builds, that means you can keep your roof fan, rooftop AC, storage or rack space, and still add serious solar wattage. On large vans like Sprinter 170 EXT, Transit 148 EXT, and ProMaster 159 Extended, this can be a powerful way to expand total solar capacity beyond what roof-only systems usually allow (up to 3175 watts ON A VAN when paired with our roof racks).
Installation Notes
This awning is best treated as a solar source that feeds your existing power system, not as a standalone plug-and-play solar kit. It is a power-generating awning that must be integrated into an existing electrical system through an appropriate solar charge controller. Many customers will add it to an existing Victron-based system, but final controller choice and wiring layout should be based on awning size and the rest of the system design.
In many cases, this can replace an existing awning, but customers should verify mounting compatibility, structural support, available space, motor side, wiring path, and electrical integration before ordering. Because this unit is heavier than a standard side awning, support requirements matter.
