Specs:
If you are an energy-conscious RV owner, the Go Power Solar Elite charging system provides clean, renewable power and independence from the grid. This kit comes with everything you need to charge your RV batteries with sunlight. Using 6 solar panels, this system collects solar energy to create DC power that passes through 2 solar controllers to charge your RV batteries.
The charging process starts with the solar panels, which install on the roof of your RV. When solar energy interacts with the silicon cells in each panel, it generates a flow of DC electrical current that charges your RV's batteries. Each of the monocrystalline cells is made from a single crystal of silicon, so the electrons that create the current have more space to move, making these panels more efficient than one with polycrystalline cells. And in optimal sunlight conditions, the panels produce 1,140 watts per hour.
The silicon cells are set between a cushioned backing material and tempered solar glass to withstand the elements. The glass has low-iron content to provide exceptional transparency, which ensures maximum sunlight collection. Finally, each panel is framed with anodized marine-grade aluminum to resist rust and corrosion.
An adjustable mount kit (sold separately) can increase your solar panel performance by angling it for maximum sun exposure. This kit replaces the panel's existing brackets and allows it to tilt at 3 different angles. This also improves solar charging during winter months when the sun is lower in the sky.
The solar controllers are connected in parallel to prevent harmful overcharging by adjusting the power generated by the solar panels before it reaches your batteries. They use maximum power point tracking technology to compare solar output to battery voltage and convert that output to an optimal amperage. Typically, this type of technology is a good fit for larger systems with higher voltages. This kit also includes a fixed-mount remote and Bluetooth dongle that install inside your RV.
Using a multistage charging system, each controller automatically switches voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. Each controller is compatible with multiple battery types and includes preset charging profiles for lithium, sealed, gel, and flooded/wet cell batteries.
Charging Modes
The fixed-mount remote with backlit, digital display acts as an information center for your solar panel output. It shows the charging current, battery voltage, and battery state of charge. It allows you to input your battery type and choose a charging profile. The remote also lets you use Maximum Power Boost Technology. You can simply press a button to activate Bulk mode for the highest charging voltage. This lets you quickly top off your battery bank before the end of the day by capturing as much power as possible.
Additionally, a Bluetooth dongle lets you monitor the controller's settings and data from your smartphone or tablet using the Go Power Connect app. It is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
The solar controller can only accommodate either the fixed-mount remote or the Bluetooth dongle. It is unable to use both simultaneously.
Lastly, each controller includes several built-in safety features to help protect your equipment. The charging process will shut down if the controller starts to overheat and when an overcurrent is detected. Also, if the battery or solar panel is wired incorrectly, it activates a reverse polarity alarm.
The system includes (6) 190-watt solar panels, (2) 60-amp MPPT solar controllers, a circuit breaker, a solar disconnect, MC4 cables, and all the necessary installation hardware.
Note: This kit may require more wiring and additional parts depending on your RV setup.

Shannon was a great help. Had it delivered 3 weeks earlier then expected.
Great package!
Review from a similar Solar All Electric in RV Solar Panels
This was a great DIY project. I will be able to boondock and have all the essentials. The inverter/charger was the best addition to my package. I can use a smaller generator because the inverter/charger has power sharing. This is a great feature.
Review from a similar Solar All Electric in RV Solar Panels
We've had the AE-4 solar panel kit for a year now and have absolutely been loving using it. We hardly ever need to run our generator anymore, only when it's been cloudy for an extended period of time. The installation was pretty straightforward and didn't take that long. We would recommend this kit!
Review from a similar Solar All Electric in RV Solar Panels
Great price for this kit. It came well packaged on a pallet and was delivered right into my garage by the driver. it will be more than enough for my 30 ft motorhome. I have not installed it yet bc I’m still gathering installation information and want to be absolutely sure I’m doing it right, hence the four stars. I have done business with etrailer before and have always gotten great support, so i i run into any issues, they are just a phone call away.
Review from a similar Solar All Electric in RV Solar Panels
A year later and everything is working as it should. This system is just enough for a residential fridge plus normal use to recover overnight by midday. I thought about adding a second one for winter months and when I'm oriented poorly for sun. In the summer Im back to 100% by noon, even with big 4 L-16HCL's.
