1.1 How Does a Go Power! Solar Charging Kit Work?

The solar module 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. The battery power may be used at any time to operate devices connected to the battery. To stop the battery from being overcharged by the

solar module, a solar controller is connected in between the solar module and the battery. The GP-PWM-10 controller will disconnect power from the solar

module when the battery is fully charged.

Please read and understand all instructions before installing your new product for the easiest and safest installation. Before installing the kit, please review

all diagrams included in this manual. If you have any doubts as to this kit's compatibility with your RV, please contact your authorized Go Power! Dealer. It is

advisable to retain this manual for future reference.

attempting installation

Photovoltaic modules generate DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Contact with the

electrically active parts of the module, such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks and lethal shock whether

the module is connected or disconnected.

Solar module saftey

When modules are connected in parallel, amperages are additive. Consequently, a system assembled from

photovoltaic modules can produce high amperages, which constitute an increased hazard. Do not touch

terminals while module is exposed to light. Cover the module face completely with opaque material to halt the

production of electricity when installing or working with modules or wiring.

Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling or working around batteries.

When charging, batteries produce hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. Work in a well ventilated area
