On Sept. 1, RVIA began mandatory enforcement of new standards for electrical components, including the 2026 edition of NFPA 1192, the 2025 ANSI/RVIA DC Standard, and adopted portions of the 2026 National Electrical Code. Article 551.40(D) on grounding-monitor interrupters was excluded pending availability of listed devices. RVIA enforces through more than 2,000 unannounced inspections of member-company RV manufacturing plants annually. Section 2-7 of the DC standard requires that an RV shipping with solar installed carry a charge controller listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and rated for the array it feeds. Renogy’s REGO MPPT charge controllers, in 30A and 60A, publish certification to UL 1741 alongside CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 107.1 and IEC 62109. For service departments, the rule means that if panels are touched, the charge controller must be examined, as a change in array wattage or configuration can exceed the installed controller’s rating.

Four weeks after mandatory enforcement of new RV Industry Association (RVIA) standards for electrical components began, Renogy brought its power lineup, including charge controllers certified to UL 1741, to the Elkhart RV Open House.

The company will be at Booth C3 at the Hall of Fame RV Supplier Show, Sept. 28-30, at the Northern Indiana Event Center.
