A grooming van is a business. When the power fails — or when the generator won't start, runs out of fuel, or disturbs the neighborhood — you lose appointments. A properly built power system eliminates all of that. No generator. No fuel runs. No noise complaints. Just reliable power for every tool you depend on, all day.
Voltara Systems builds power systems for mobile dog grooming vans in Long Beach, CA.
The loads in a grooming van are real — high-draw, continuous, and simultaneous. A professional grooming dryer pulls 1,500–2,000W. Clippers, a water heater, interior lighting, a forced-air heating or cooling system — all running at the same time, for hours. That's not a van life solar setup. That's an engineered power system.
We start by calculating your actual load profile — every tool, every watt, every hour of your typical workday. Per mobile grooming equipment standards referenced by the Professional Pet Groomers & Stylists Alliance, power requirements vary significantly by equipment brand and service volume. Then we design the system that covers it.
High-output secondary alternator charges a large lithium bank while you drive between appointments. Arrives at each stop with a full system.
Solar panels keep the bank topped off during parked appointments. More useful in summer, supplements the alternator year-round.
No fuel runs. No noise complaints. No maintenance headaches. Most grooming van clients eliminate the generator entirely.
Yes — with the right bank size and charging strategy. A 400–600Ah lithium bank with a high-output secondary alternator replenishes between appointments. For operators running 6–8 appointments per day, it's entirely viable. We calculate it against your actual schedule before committing.
A full grooming van power build typically takes 3–5 days. We'll give you a firm timeline before work begins so you can plan your schedule and minimize appointment downtime.
Most of our grooming van clients eliminate the generator entirely. Some keep a small one for emergency backup — that's a personal choice. The primary system doesn't need it to function.
Yes. Lithium batteries have a wider operating temperature range than AGM, and we account for the Southern California climate in the system design. The system performs reliably in Long Beach's heat profile without derating.
