Expert Answers about Solar Charge Controllers


  • Recommended Solar Charge Controller for Bluetti PV200 Watt Solar Panel
  • I looked up the Bluetti PV200 Watt Solar Panel and show it draws up to 9.7 amps at max current. Therefore, a 10 amp charge controller like the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller with USB Port part # 34280503 will work and is what I recommend. It has multiple charging modes for different battery types, and easy to read LCD display, and a USB port for quick charging of smaller accessories.

  • Can Another Panel Be Added To the Go Power 20 Watt Eco Solar Charging System
  • The Go Power Eco Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller part # 34273837 comes with a charge controller rated at 10 amps or 170 watts. The included solar panel only provides 1.14 amps or 20 watts so that means you will have 8.86 amps remaining which is plenty for a 100 watt panel. That said, we don't offer the panels separately so your best option is to obtain the Go Power Solar Flex Charging System with Digital Solar Controller part # 34272630 and add your 20 watt panel to...

  • You technically could add a second Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610 to power your travel trailer's lithium batteries, however, this would require some custom wiring to the controller as Go Power doesn't sell a kit to make this process quick and easy.

  • Is Converter Needed For Adding Solar Panels to Camper With 2-Pin Connector to Charge Batteries
  • To charge the batteries in your camper with the 2-pin connection, no type of converter is needed, just a solar controller. And the controller is something that is included with the portable solar kits, for which there are three different options, with different solar panel wattage. The best option will depend on the amount of power you need; the higher the solar panel watts, the more power it will store. So you can choose from any of the following three: - 90 Watt Solar Panel - Go Power...

  • Why Would Solar Controller Hooked up with Go Power 3000 Watt Inverter Cause Over Charge Error
  • Are you possibly hooking up the solar charger in series instead of in parallel which is attempting to put a charge of a way too high voltage? The Go Power 3000 Watt inverter charger part # 34275013 was designed to work with solar panel charger controllers and is covered in the attached install instructions so it makes me think the issue is the way the solar controller is wired to the batteries.
