Congratulations on purchasing your Go Power! Solar All Electric Kit. You have chosen a clean, quiet and sustainable power source. Go
Power! Solar Kits allow you to power appliances off-gird, without hooking up to shore power or a noisy generator. Go Power! solar
kits will keep your batteries charged, ensuring you have power when you need it.
This large mobile DC power system is designed for full-time living—even powering a residential-sized electric refrigerator, in addition
to lights, fans or water pumps. To power AC electronics or devices off-grid, such as a television or coffee maker, a DC to AC power
inverter (sold separately) will be necessary. As with any off-grid power systems, the user is required to manage electrical loads to
ensure continual power availability for essential services like the refrigerator. Your location and season (hours of sunlight available)
play a role in how much energy can be harnessed from this kit.
This manual will aid in the process of installing the Go Power! Solar All Electric Kit. Please read and understand this manual
and all included manuals before installing the Go Power! All Electric Solar Kit. Review all diagrams included in this guide
for the easiest and safest installation. Please retain this manual for future reference.

2.2 HOW DOES A GO POWER! SOLAR CHARGING KIT WORK?
The solar panel converts the sun’s energy into DC electricity and this electricity charges the battery. The battery stores the electricity,
similar to a water tank storing water. This battery power may be used at any time to operate DC powered devices connected to the
battery. To increase the battery service life, a solar controller is used to prevent the solar panels from overcharging the batteries. This
process is managed by the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 controller(s) included in this kit. (See Figure 2-A on the following page for examples).
The Go Power! SOLAR-AE6 Kit includes 6 solar panels and the SOLAR-AE4 includes 4 solar panels for use with a 12-volt system.
WARNING: The solar panels in the SOLAR-AE6 kit are designed to be connected in to be connected in 3 strings of
2 panels in SERIES. Each string of 2 panels will connect to the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 Solar Controller. Failure to follow
this will cause the system to produce large voltages or currents which the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 Solar Controller and
cabling is not designed to handle.
WARNING: The solar panels in the SOLAR-AE4 kit are designed to be connected in 2 strings of 2 panels in SERIES.
WARNING: Incorrect wiring can result in irreparable damage to the system (not covered under warranty), re, or
serious injuries.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Disconnect all power
sources before attempting
installation
Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only
by a licensed electrician or qualied personnel.
Solar panel safety
Photovoltaic panels generate DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or
other light sources. Contact with the electrically active parts of the panel,
such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks and lethal shock whether
the panel is connected or disconnected.
When panels are connected in series, voltages are additive. Consequently,
a system assembled from photovoltaic panels can produce high voltag-
es, which constitute an increased hazard. Do not touch terminals while
panel is exposed to light. Cover the panel face completely with opaque
material to halt the production of electricity when installing or working
with panels or wiring.
Battery and wiring safety
Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling
or working around batteries. When charging, batteries produce hydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. Work in a well ventilated area and use
caution when making or removing electrical connections. Ensure wires
are disconnected from their power sources when wiring. Do not expose
battery to open ame, cigarettes or sparks. Shield skin and eyes from
battery acid.
Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections may gen-
erate sparks and heat. Be sure to check connections one week after
installation to ensure they are still tight.
Work safely
Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation. Use
extreme caution when working with electricity and when handling and
working around batteries. Use properly insulated tools only.
Observe correct polarity
at all times
Reverse polarity of the battery terminals or solar terminals may damage
the controller.
Do not exceed the voltage
and current ratings of the
GP-RVC-30-MPPT Solar
Charge Controller
The total voltage of the solar system is the sum of the open circuit current
of the solar panels in series. The voltage of the array is the rated open
circuit voltage of the solar panels and is not to exceed 100 Voc.
The Imp current is not to exceed 30A for each string connected to the
GP-RVC-30-MPPT Solar Controller(s). If your solar system exceeds these
ratings, contact your dealer for a suitable controller alternative.

FIGURE 3-A
3.1 PLACEMENT OF SOLAR PANELS
1. Remove all solar panels from their boxes. Set aside the boxes as they will be used in the instructions to follow.
2. Using the solar panel boxes as placeholders, plan the layout of the panels on your RV rooftop. Once you have positioned the
boxes correctly, leave the boxes on the RV roof as place holders until the panels are installed. (See Figure 2-B for a sample layout).
• Placement of the panels should be as close together as possible. Each panel has 3.3’ of cable coming from the junction
box. It may be necessary to use the included solar panel extension cables. If required, longer extension cables can be
purchased. Please contact your dealer to purchase.
• Select a location where the mounting surface is at least 1/2” thick and strong enough to support the solar panel
mounting hardware.
• Solar panels should be located a minimum of 3’ from the front of the RV to reduce wind load on the panels.
• Avoid internal wiring when selecting the solar panel mounting locations for drilling the mounting holes.
• Ensure xed obstacles, such as air conditioners, will not shade the solar panels. (Shading can greatly reduce the per-
formance of the solar system).
• Ensure there is enough room to access the panels and other xed obstacles for future inspection and maintenance.
Note
3.2 CABLE ENTRY PLATE(S)
1. Plan where the Cable Entry Plate(s) (CEP) will be located on the RV roof.
• Make sure it is within reach of the solar panels. It may be necessary to use the included extension cables to reach the
CEP(s). If required, longer extension cables can be purchased. Please contact your dealer to purchase.
• Make sure the CEP location(s) is also accessible from the interior of the RV to route the cables to the charge controller.
• The GP-RVC-MPPT-30 charge controller(s) should be placed no more than 25’ from the CEP(s). Closer is better to reduce
the voltage loss due to resistance.
Note
3.3 GP-RVC-MPPT-30 CHARGE CONTROLLER
1. Plan where the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 charge controller(s) will
mount, see Figure 3-A for more detail including maximum
distances.
• The GP-RVC-MPPT-30 is designed to be mounted
vertically in an indoor location inside a weath-
erproof enclosure.
• The GP-RVC-MPPT-30 weighs approximately
3.14lbs. – ensure the mounting location will
hold this weight.
• The location will need access to the cables ends
from the CEP, the battery compartment and the
GP-RVC-R remote cable.
• The SOLAR-AE4 includes two GP-RVC-MPPT-30
solar controllers while the SOLAR-AE6 includes
three GP-RVC-MPPT-30s to be connected with
the provided parallelization cables. Each GP-
RVC-MPPT-30 can charge up to a maximum of
30A.
WARNING: Failure to secure the GP-RVC-
MPPT-30 could cause it to become dislodged
while the RV is underway and cause severe
damage to the unit and/or the RV.
Note

[page 12] | gopowersolar.com
3.4 GP-RVC-R CHARGE CONTROLLER REMOTE
1. Plan where the GP-RVC-R remote will be installed. If space will allow, install the GP-RVC-R in the location where you nd other
instruments and controls (often in the instrumentation panel).
Make sure the GP-RVC-R location is also accessible for routing the cable to the GP-RVC-MPPT-30. The GP-RVC-R includes
25’ of cable for connection between itself and the GP-RVC-R.

FIGURE 4-A: SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION DETAILS
4.1 MOUNTING FEET
1. Assemble 4 mounting feet onto each of the solar panels frame using the 1/4” bolts, nuts and washers. This assembly is easily
completed on the ground before the panels are brought up to the RV roof (See Figure 4-A).
WARNING:
• The mounting feet must be installed on the 4 outer holes in the panel frame.
• All 4 mounting feet must be used on a solar panel.
2. Tighten the nuts securely using a 7/16” wrench.
4.2 SOLAR PANELS
WARNING: Photovoltaic panels generate DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or other light sources. When
exposed to light, contact with the electricity active parts of the panel, such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks
and lethal shock whether the panel is connected or disconnected.
When panels are connected in series voltages are additive. Consequently a system assembled from photovoltaic panels can
produce high voltages which constitute an increased hazard. Do not touch the terminals while the panel is exposed to light.
Cover the panel faces completely with an opaque material to stop the production of electricity when working with panels or
wiring – the cardboard shipping boxes are the perfect option to cover glass surface of the panels.
1. Locate the solar panels on the RV roof replacing each of the boxes used in the planning step.
2. Locate the CEP on the RV roof.
3. Test that the solar panel cables can reach each solar panel (See Figure 2-B).
WARNING: Do not connect the solar panels together at this time.
4. Test that the end solar panel cables can reach the CEP (panel last in line).
WARNING: Do not connect the solar panels to the CEP at this time.
5. Thoroughly clean the RV roof around the hole in the area the mounting feet will be located.
6. Use the #10 x 1” screws provided in the kit to secure the 4 solar panel mounting feet to the RV.
WARNING: All 4 mounting feet must be securely fastened to the RV roof. Failure to do so could cause the
panels to be thrown from the RV while it is underway.
7. Apply sealant under and around each of the 4 mounting feet to ensure a watertight installation.
Use appropriate sealant as recommended by your RV Dealer for your RV roof.

watertight seal.
8. Feed wires down through the until they reach the charge
controller mounting location.
9. Apply a generous bead of sealant to the underside of the CEP
around the large opening and around all mounting holes.
The sealant should expand signicantly beyond the
bottom of the CEP.
10. Lower the CEP down until just the tip of the caulking gun ts
under the CEP. Apply a generous bead into and around the
cable hole including the cable as well. (See Figure 4-D).
11. Finish lowering the CEP on the RV roof.
12. Dispense a generous dab of sealant into each mounting hole.
13. Using the 4 of #10 x 1” screws provided, secure the CEP
to the RV roof – through the sealant and into the roof. (See
Figure 4-E).
Do not over-tighten screws.
14. Apply a dab of sealant on top of and around the head of
each screw.
15. Apply another generous bead of sealant around the perimeter
of the CEP.
16. Secure the exposed solar panel cables using the cable clamps
provided.
17. Repeat Steps 1-16 for each additional CEP.

5. CONNECTIONS
5.1 SOLAR PANELS
1. Before beginning you must securely cover the solar panels with a solid, non-transparent material. We recommend that you use
the solar panel shipping boxes.
2. For the SOLAR-AE6 kit, connect 3 strings of 2 solar panels together in series. This means 2 solar panels are to be in series by
connecting the positive of one panel to the negative of an adjacent panel. (See Figure 5-A).
3. For the SOLAR-AE4 kit, connect 2 strings of 2 panels together in series. (See Figure 5-A).
4. Recall from the planning section that it may be necessary to use the provided 6’ or 10’ solar extension cables for this step.
Solar panels use polarized SC connectors, meaning the positive connector is different than the negative connector. Each
connector has its polarity symbol (+ or -) embossed near the end of the connector. This polarity symbol is relative to the
solar panel. To extend a cable, an opposite polarity connector must be used. For example, a negative connector must plug
into a positive connector in order to extend it. It is advisable to attach or mark the positive cable in order to avoid confusion
during the installation. (See Figure 5-B and Figure 5-C).
Note
1. Remove the sealing caps from the ends of the SC connectors in the CEP(s).
2. Connect the positive and negative connectors from one string of solar panels to the CEP. Repeat for each string of solar panels..
(See Figure 5-D).
3. Recall from the planning section that it may be necessary to use the provided 6’ or 10’ solar extension cables for this step.

INSTALLATION
5.3 BATTERY
WARNING Ensure that correct polarity is being observed when making connections to the batteries. Serious damage
to equipment could result if these instructions are not followed exactly.
1. Connect the ring terminal of the negative (black) cable from the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 to the battery’s negative terminal. Connect the
ring terminal of the fused positive (red) cable from the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 to the battery’s positive terminal. Tighten according to
the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
The individual batteries must be connected together before the connection to the GP-RVC-MPPT-30 is made. (See Figure
5-G for typical battery congurations). Go Power! recommends the use of the Go Power! GP-AGM-100-12V or
GP-AGM-224-6V batteries with this kit.
2. Repeat Step 1 for each additional set of battery cables and GP-RVC-MPPT-30 controller(s).
