A sensor malfunction in the van causes a parasitic drain that kills AGM batteries, needing a solar charging solution to keep the battery alive.
Existing batteries alone cannot overcome the parasitic drain; need a charging solution that works even while the vehicle is parked with the kill switch engaged.

App Concept
SolarBatt Guardian
SolarBatt Guardian is an integrated MPPT solar charge controller with built-in battery monitoring and automatic kill switch. It prevents parasitic drain by isolating the battery when voltage drops too low, and smartly reconnects when solar input is sufficient. Perfect for van-dwellers who rely on AGM or lithium batteries.
Key Features
- Built-in MPPT charge controller with integrated kill switch
- Low-voltage disconnect to prevent deep discharge
- Real-time battery health monitoring via smartphone app
- Compatible with AGM, lithium, and standard lead-acid batteries
Target Users: Van-dwellers and RV owners in the automotive repair and home services industries who face parasitic drain or need reliable off-grid power
Revenue Model: $199 one-time hardware purchase, with optional $4.99/mo premium app subscription for advanced analytics and remote monitoring
