2. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on purchasing your Go Power! Solar Flex Kit. You have chosen a clean, quiet and sustainable power source. Go
Power! Solar Kits allow you to power appliances in your RV, 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 mobile DC power system allows you to enjoy the luxuries that electricity provides, without a campsite hookup. For simple
battery maintenance or full-time live-aboard power, Go Power! Solar Power Kits are available in a variety of sizes and can be
installed on RVs, campers, trailers, fifth wheels and motor homes. As with any off-grid power systems, the user is required to
manage electrical loads to ensure continual power availability for essential services. 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 Kit. Please read and understand this manual
and all included manuals before installing the Go Power! Solar Kit. Review all diagrams included in this guide for the
easiest and safest installation. Please retain this manual for future reference.
Note
2.1 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 con-
nected to the battery. To increase the battery service life, a solar controller is used to prevent the solar panels from overcharging
the batteries. This is process is managed by the Solar Charge Controller included in this kit. See Figure 2-A (below) and 2-B (on
following page) for solar system examples.
