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.
