3.3  LOCATING THE GP-PWM-10 OR GP-PWM-30 SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER

The GP-PWM-10 or GP-PWM-30 is included in all Go Power! RV Solar Kits detailed in this manual except for the expansion 

kits (50E and 100E).  The GP-PWM provides the necessary protection for the RV battery system.  A condensed version of the 

installation instructions appear in this manual.  However, please read the full installation manual included with the GP-PWM-10 

or GP-PWM-30 Solar Charge Controller.

1.  Plan where the Solar Charge controller will mount, see Figure 3-B.

•  The Solar Charge Controller is designed to be mounted vertically in an indoor location inside a weatherproof 

enclosure. 

•  Ideally the Solar Charge Controller should be located so it can be easily seen for monitoring system operation.

•  The location will need access to the cable ends from the solar panels and the battery compartment.

WARNING: Failure to secure the Solar Charge Controller could cause it to become dislodged while the RV is 
in transit and cause severe damage to the unit and/or the RV.
