view full answer... - Can A PWM Solar Charge Controller Be Swapped Out With An MPPT Solar Charge Controller
- Yes, once you start getting into the 150w to 200w or higher range MPPT solar charge controllers are up to 30% more efficient than a PWM controller. Anything under 150w you're fine to just save your money and stick with a PWM controller as you'll see no added benefits from an MPPT.
Since the Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System # 34282183 you referenced is 190w you'll see an increased efficiency in the system when used with the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP54FR....

view full answer... - Can Two Go Power Systems With Separate Charge Controllers Be Connected Together
- portable options like the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282610 have their own solar charge controller and would be have to be ran directly to the battery. If you have a port on the trailer to plug into you'd want to verify that it only runs to the battery and doesn't connect to the charge controller inside of the trailer. If it ran to the charge controller in the trailer then you'd most likely receive an error code and the system would cut off power to...
view full answer... - Should You Wire Go Power Solar Panels In Parallel Or Series
- Systems with a 30 amp solar charge controller or lower are run parallel while systems with a higher amp solar charge controller can be run in series or series parallel. The Go Power Solar Extreme Charging System - 570 Watt Solar Panels - 3,000 Watt Inverter Charger Item # 34282185 you linked to has a 30 amp solar charge controller so it will be3 wired in parallel.
view full answer... - Compatible Solar Panels For A Go Power Solar Panel System
- You would need to replace your panel with another Go Power branded solar panel but if your solar charge controller can handle a higher wattage you could add a higher wattage panel to your system. For example the 30 amp charge controller # 34280503 can handle up to 600watts so if you were only using two 100watt panels and wanted to replace one you'd have enough capacity to add a higher wattage panel like the # 34282181. You will want to leave about 25% of your solar charge controller's capacity...

view full answer... - Solar Charge Controller Needed For A 600 Watt Go Power Solar Flex Solar Power System
- To determine the correct rated solar charge controller for your system you'll need to divide the wattage coming in from your panels (in this case 600watts if you added the sixth panel) by the voltage of your battery bank and add another 25% for unexpected energy surges. If you run your batteries in parallel the voltage will remain the same but if you run them in series the voltage will increase the voltage (i.e. two 6v batteries in series would be 12v). So for example 600watts / 12v = 50...

view full answer... - Can Solar MPPT Charge Controller be Connected to Progressive Dynamics AC/DC Panel and Converter
- I reached out to my contact at Progressive Dynamics and he said that you can use the Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger # PD4045KA at the same time as your solar MPPT charge controller, but your solar needs to be connected directly to your batteries and you won't run it through this converter. So they can be used together but that's because they will be connected to different things. You cannot connect your MPPT charge controller directly to this converter.
