  "summary": "US-market RV solar kits — portable suitcase and rooftop panel packages — indexed from official manufacturer sources only. Kits are charging systems: panel wattage, controller type/amperage, included contents, and battery compatibility are normalized with per-field provenance, and inverter or air-conditioner support is never inferred from marketing.",
  "intro": "RV solar kits are panel-based packages sold to charge an RV's battery bank, spanning foldable/briefcase portable kits and fixed rooftop arrays, usually bundled with a charge controller and wiring. This category covers officially named kit packages as base entities; wattage tiers (e.g. 100W / 200W / 400W) are recorded as separate entities when the controller or included contents change by tier. Generic non-RV solar kits, standalone components (panels, controllers, batteries, inverters on their own), portable power stations, and generators are out of scope. Every core specification is normalized from official manufacturer sources with field-level provenance, and anti-hype rules are strict: a small kit is not presented as running a whole RV, inverter and AC support are recorded only when explicitly documented, and any daily-output figure must carry stated assumptions. RV solar kits sit beside battery power stations and portable generators as a third RV/camping power category with a different role — recurring, quiet, fuel-free battery replenishment that reduces generator runtime and shore dependence.",
