Hello there Paul. The controller that comes with the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System # GP39MR is indeed the GP-PWM-30-UL Bluetooth enabled lithium compatible controller, as you can see in the picture I included below. view full answer...
Hey Ken, what it comes down to is what the controller is rated for and whether or not adding an additional solar panel can increase the output of it. The Morningstar Duo charge controller SSD-25 that you have is rated for 25 amps which is quite a bit more than 190 watts so you could easily add an additional panel like the 190 watt # GP47MR to what you have now and the controller would be able to take full use of the additional power generated by the second panel. view full answer...
Hi Robert,
Solar panel systems are all going to be ran independently to the battery bank and wouldn't need to tie into the wiring for your Go Power IC2000 Inverter Charger # 34280055. Your solar panels will run to the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP54FR and from there directly to the batteries. Both the solar charge controller and the IC2000 can read the battery charge level and alter the charge that they send to the battery so there won't be an issue wiring them separately. view full answer...
Hey Paul, the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP72RR can handle up to 600 watts so your 400 watt setup would easily work with this. view full answer...
The Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System 34282183 is a step down from the Go Power Solar Elite Charging System # 34282184 that you were previously recommended. The Weekender will come with a 1,500 watt inverter, transfer switch, solar controller and 190 watt solar panel. An inverter remote panel and solar control panel will allow you to monitor the power usage.
You will need a Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger # PD49RR to charge your Lithium... view full answer...
For your camper with 4 6v AGM & 2 12v house batteries, I recommend taking a look at the:
-Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller # 34282181.
This system includes a 200 watt solar panel, a digital solar controller, MC4 cables, and installation hardware.
Additionally, this solar panel measures 59-1/8" long x 26-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" deep, and weighs 26-lbs.
Attached is a product review video for you to check out. view full answer...
Hi David, thanks for reaching out!
The older Go Power PWM-30 Solar Controller has been discontinued, but you can use the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller with Bluetooth # GP76QR along with the Installation Adapter Plate # GP86QR to replace it!
I confirmed this with my contact at Go Power. view full answer...
The Furrion Solar Port Inlet # FSPINS-BS is only rated for 10 amps of maximum input so if you somehow connected your Go Power to it this would most likely burn up the wiring since the controller is putting out up to 30 amps of 12 volt power. This connector was only designed to be used with a smaller portable panel typically a 100watts. view full answer...
The Go Power 190 Watt Solar Panels part # 34282182 measure 59-1/8" long x 26-5/16" wide x 1-1/2" deep. In order to see how many you can fit, simply take the measurements above and compare them to the space you have available. The panel are rated for 9.57 amps so you'll need to make sure your solar controller is capable of handing the total combined amp rating of the panels. For example, if you have four total panels you'd need a solar controller which can handle at least 38 amps like the... view full answer...
I recommend using the Go Power Solar Flex Eclipse Charging System w/ MPPT Solar Controller # GP67MR on your tear trailer. This solar panel is flexible and will follow the curve of your roof line. This particular kit has a 190watt panel. Each panel is 56" long x 27" wide x 1/8" deep allowing you to not have to mounts a rigid panel to your rack.
If you go with a ridged panel setup like the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System # 34282181 you will need 4 of the Replacement Square-Bar... view full answer...
Since this is just a maintenance charge in storage you can use the OptiMate Solar Duo Portable Solar Panel with Controller # MA56JR. The solar cable is 80" long, the controller cable is 40" and then the battery clamp/ring terminal leads are 20". If you need more you can pick up a 2-pole extension to run it out farther. The only ones we carry are 12" long like the # HM47965 so you will probably need to grab that somewhere else. The panel can be mounted directly on the back or you can use... view full answer...
On a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 you found it needs the power coming from the vehicle to power it. So you would at least need a Charge Line # RM-156-75 with an Adapter # 37185 to make the controller function.
Also your state laws are likely going to specify you have to have power coming from the vehicle to maintain the charge on the battery for your trailer as it is likely also the breakaway battery. view full answer...
For RV application I prefer the Go Power brand of products. If your camper is pre-wired from Jayco I believe they are using the same brand. There is typically two options available in pre-wired from the factory for "solar ready" either using a portable solar connector on the side of the RV or they have installed a Go Power cable entry plate on the roof. You will need to first determine the energy demands being placed on your batteries. If you will only be running the outdoor mini fridge... view full answer...
The Entry Plate # 34273840 that came with your Solar Package # 34282181 is capable of supporting up to the same 30 amps as your solar controller. Each of the 200 amp panels for the Expansion # 34282182 is rated at 9.57 amps so you will be able to add the 2 panels. view full answer...
Hi Robert,
The amount of panels you can have is going to depend on their output and the maximum input capacity of the solar controller. For example, the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP54FR you were looking at has a maximum input of 1040W @ 12V; 2080W @ 24V; 3120W @ 36V; and 4160W @ 48V.
The Go Power 40 amp MPPT Solar Controller you currently have has a maximum input of 600W @ 12V or 1200W @24V. Go Power doesn't currently offer panels at 300 watts so you likely have a 100... view full answer...
It is difficult to say without more information. It is really going to depend on the power used by the fridge and the size of your batteries. For example, a fridge like the Everchill # 324-000119 uses 11-amp hours of power, so it's going to consume 264 amp hours of power over the course of a day.
A residential fridge typically takes a large system like the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System with 2 MPPT Solar Controllers - 1,140 Watt Solar Panels # 342-75011. Also, a minimum of 600... view full answer...
Hey Craig, It sounds like you are asking if you can use the Progressive Dynamics converter # PD69RR to charge a battery that has a 3 panel solar panel setup also charging it. The answer to that is yes you can. view full answer...
The Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 has a 100-amp hour capacity. You will need to compare this to the current flooded batteries you have installed to determine what increase in capacity will be. Whatever the increase in amp hours is will be the amount of capacity you are increasing.
When you do switch to lithium batteries you will only need to change the charge profile on the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller that came with the Kit.
If you choose to move to the 2,000 Watt... view full answer...
Yes, there is! You can use the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 you were looking at. However, this has alligator clamps so it will be a bit more difficult. A better option would be to install the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger item # BRW54FR due to it having terminal rings. The connections won't come disconnected while you are using your trailer. Your breakaway battery just needs to be a 12-volt battery with at least 5 amp-hours. view full answer...
Wiring batteries in parallel allows you to get additional amperage like you are wanting without changing the voltage. So you do need to wire you new "battery bank" in parallel so that they output voltage is 12 volts and matches your motorhome. I attached a picture that shows difference between wiring batteries in parallel and in series. You do basically just need two jumper wires with a heavier gauge like 00 to make the connections.
If your solar charger setup just has two wires to run... view full answer...
