The durable & robust solar module for your VW California

Reliable solar energy

Get the unique size on the market with the CALIFAKTUR - ideal for your devices such as a cool box, light, notebook, smartphone, auxiliary heating or even your e-bike.

  • Semi-flexible solar module monocrystalline
  • Double ETFE coating from the marine sector for maximum weather resistance
  • Cell efficiency up to 23%
  • Discreet design with minimal installation height - the height of your VW California remains under 2 meters

The CALIFAKTUR aluminium sheet

Functionality meets design

Our solar module comes on a stylish black powder-coated aluminum sheet. Thanks to its clean design and minimal installation height, it fits seamlessly into your van and you still stay under the magical 2-meter limit.

The aluminum sheet optimally dissipates the heat from the solar module and ensures maximum efficiency. The special design ensures ventilation behind the module.

To optimally protect your roof, we use high-quality, temperature-resistant cellular rubber.

Thanks to the special CALIFAKTUR construction, fluttering is prevented, which ensures a silent and comfortable ride.

In CALIFAKTUR quality

Our cables in focus

In our Plug&Play complete solution, we supply you with all the cables you need to install your CALIFAKTUR solar module.

The CALIFAKTUR spiral cable specially developed by us has a PUR coating to guarantee that scratches on your VW California will not occur.

Depending on the vehicle model (Ocean/Coast or Beach) we offer the CALIFAKTUR cable in 2 lengths. A slightly shorter one for connecting to the battery in the rear cabinet for the VW California Ocean or Coast. Or a longer cable for connecting to the second battery under the driver's seat for the VW California Beach.

At CALIFAKTUR, we deliberately avoid plug-in solutions: Why?

  1. These are vulnerable to weather or vibrations while driving.
  2. Why unplug at all? With our solution, you can even recharge your reserves at the next parking lot - without having to worry about it.

In addition to the spiral cable, you will receive a battery connection cable.

Our spiral cable has a cross-section of 2.5 mm², which
Battery cable 6mm².

The CALIFAKTUR partners

Highest quality combined

We rely on quality, experience and competence in all our components and partners.

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT controller with Bluetooth, combined with the high-quality CALIFAKTUR solar module - a perfect match. This charge controller is precisely tailored to the performance of the CALIFAKTUR module and ensures efficient energy conversion regardless of whether it is a lithium or AGM battery and maximizes the yield of your solar cells.

Using the appropriate app, you can monitor the performance data of your solar panel live and track your battery status.

The Victron Smart Battery Sense is an advanced battery sensor. We recommend this when installing the CALIFAKTUR solar module on the VW California Ocean and Coast models, for connection to the battery in the cabinet. Unfortunately, there is no space to place the charge controller directly next to the battery. In this case, the sensor monitors the temperature and communicates wirelessly with the Victron charge controller via the VE Smart Network, providing you with detailed information about the battery performance and charge level.

Even when it comes to components such as our cables, aluminum sheet, screws or adhesives, we make no compromises when selecting our partners and only rely on well-known German manufacturers.

The CALIFAKTUR solution without beans and glue

Assembly made easy

The smart CALIFAKTUR solution for self-installation. Without drilling or gluing and with detailed and easy-to-understand installation instructions, you can mount the CALIFAKTUR solar module on your VW California without making any changes to the vehicle.

Once the module is placed on your roof, it is screwed into the existing C-rail at 6 points.

You don't have to interfere with the vehicle's electronics, nor are there any visual defects left behind when dismantling it. This way, you maintain the value of your VW California, or even increase it with your solar module.

If you would still like to rely on an expert, we have a large network of verified partners who will be happy to carry out the installation for you.
