The Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System at 190 Watt Solar Panel with 1,500 Watt Inverter, # 34282183, is a great product. This solar charging system is perfect for boondocking, the 190-watt solar panel provides DC power to charge your RV's batteries, and the 1,500-watt inverter provides AC power to run appliances and electronics. If you have a battery bank that already has a charging system from the alternator, no worries. The charge controller that comes with this system will work with that existing system. The 30-Amp PWM solar controller adjusts solar panel output to the battery. It will read the input from the vehicle charge circuit and adjust as needed to provide a full charge to your battery bank. Your current arrangement will be primary when engine is in operation, the controller will cause solar to be secondary and fill in as needed/if needed until the engine charge circuit is turned off. Which at that point the solar arrangement will provide charge.
