Shore power lets your vehicle plug into grid power at a campsite, marina, worksite, or home — charging your battery bank and running your AC appliances without drawing from solar or the engine. Done right, it's the most efficient way to top off a large battery bank quickly.
Voltara Systems installs shore power connections and setups for vans, RVs, boats, and specialty vehicles in Long Beach, CA.
30A or 50A inlet chosen to match your system's load requirements. Mounted in a clean, accessible location with proper weatherproofing.
Wired from inlet to your inverter-charger or converter with proper fusing and circuit protection throughout. No shortcuts on the path from inlet to panel.
The system is tested under actual load before you take the vehicle. We confirm charging rates, transfer switching, and outlet function.
30A shore power supports up to 3,600W of simultaneous load. 50A supports up to 12,000W. Most vans and smaller RVs are fine on 30A. Larger coaches running dual AC units or heavy appliances benefit from 50A. We'll spec the right inlet for your actual loads — not just default to the larger option.

Yes. We run the inlet, wire it to your inverter-charger or converter, and integrate it cleanly with your existing system. As long as you have an inverter-charger or converter to receive the AC input, shore power is a straightforward addition.
Shore power connects to grid AC via a cable. A generator produces its own AC. The inlet on your vehicle can often accept either — the difference is what's on the other end of the cord. We design the system to handle both if needed.
With properly rated weatherproof inlets and correct installation — yes. We don't cut corners on exterior penetrations. Every inlet we install is sealed and rated for outdoor exposure.
