Specs:
If you are an energy-conscious RV owner, the Go Power Solar Flex 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 2 flexible solar panels, this system collects solar energy to create DC power that passes through a solar controller to charge your RV batteries.
The charging process starts with the flexible 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 220 watts per hour.
The silicon cells are set between a laminated backsheet to withstand the elements. The panels are low profile and bend up to 30 degrees to suit the shape of your RV's roof, making them more aerodynamic than traditional solar panels.
The solar controller prevents harmful overcharging by adjusting the power generated by the solar panel before it reaches your batteries. It uses pulse width modulation technology to regulate the output through pulses that provide a consistent charge. Typically, this type of technology is a good fit for smaller systems with lower voltages.
Using a multistage charging system, the 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. The controller is compatible with multiple battery types and includes preset charging profiles for sealed/gel, AGM, flooded/wet cell, and lithium batteries.
Charging Modes
With 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.
This solar controller is built to charge two battery banks and has terminals for a primary and secondary battery. Your primary battery will receive the full current until it is completely charged. Then, your secondary battery will start to draw the charge current.
The 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 also allows you to input your battery type and choose a charging profile. Additionally, a built-in USB port on the front of the controller provides a convenient outlet to charge your cell phone or tablet.
It includes a Bluetooth function that lets you connect the controller to your smartphone or tablet with the free Go Power! Connect app. With this app, you can wirelessly view the same live battery information included on the display. Also, you can control your battery profile and toggle Maximum Power Boost Technology mode.
Lastly, the 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 (2) 110-watt solar panels, a 30-amp PWM solar controller, MC4 cables, and all the necessary installation hardware.
Note: This kit may require more wiring and additional parts depending on your RV setup.

That's why I ordered another kit to install for the next season. Both panels of the 200 watt kit tested out excellent. Many thanks!
system installed and worked fine. Put it on top of an old airstream, with corrugated plastic for thermal insulation, panel failed after 9 months, go power handled warranty on replacement, easy process. I have a new air gap system, but i've read that many brands of flexible panels can just fail. some people have had flexible panels working for a while.
Thanks, the solar kit came in much quicker that I expected. Already have it installed and working. Will be checking it out on a trip in a few days.
Cheers, DR.
These people don't play. I placed my order, a little later I got notified it was shipped, (I did pay for 2 day shipping), and it was here. On the ball service, great prices, what more could you ask?
Great products and great company to do business with
