INSTALLATION
WARNING: Using an adhesive can create a permanent mounting situation. It is strongly advised that placement
is well thought out and that panel function has been tested before mounting. Go Power! is not responsible
for damage caused by the removal of any solar panels.
WARNING: The Panels must be securely fastened. Failure to do so could cause the panels to lift and separate
from the surface while in transit which could cause significant damage and/or injury.
Use appropriate sealant as recommended by your RV Dealer for your RV roof.

4.2 REFRIGERATOR VENT ACCESS
OPTION 1
1. Locate the refrigerator vent on the roof of the RV. Remove
vent cover to gain access to the duct opening.
2. Drill a hole through the side of the vent (5/8” hole).
3. Remove any sharp edges from the hole.
4. Insert a rubber grommet (not included) into the hole.
5. Insert the MC4 positive and negative extension cables
through the hole and carefully route it to the solar charge
controller. Be certain to leave enough slack to allow cable
routing from module to vent along desired path.
6. Use cable clamps with the #6 self-tapping screw and/or tie
wraps every few feet along roof and interior route to the
solar charge controller.
7. Ensure all penetrations into the roof or surface are water-
tight. Use an appropriate sealant as recommended by your
RV Dealer to seal holes wherever necessary.
8. Replace vent cover.
4.3 REFRIGERATOR VENT ACCESS
OPTION 2
1. Locate the refrigerator vent on the roof of the RV. Remove
vent cover to gain access to the duct opening.
2. Thread the MC4 positive and negative extension cables
carefully through the screen and into opening.
3. Enlarge screen grid hole if necessary
4. Remove any sharp edges from the hole.
5. Avoid strapping the power cable to existing wire between
the module and the battery.
Allowing a few inches of space between the power
cable and existing wire will lessen the chance of
voltage loss through thermal conduction.
6. Use cable clamps with the # 6 self-tapping screw and/or
tie wraps every few feet along RV roof and interior route to
the solar charge controller.
