Specs:
If you are an energy-conscious RV owner, the Go Power Solar Flex charging system provides clean, renewable power and an extra boost to your batteries while you are on the road. This kit comes with everything you need to charge your RV batteries with sunlight. Using a flexible solar panel, 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 panel, which installs 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 panel produces 35 watts per hour.
The silicon cells are set between a laminated backsheet to withstand the elements. The panel is low profile and bends 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.
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.
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 a 35-watt solar panel, a 10-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.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Go Power 35-watt Solar Flex Charging System with this 30-amp PWM solar controller. Now, this charging system here will provide an off-grid charging solution for your RV. The kit will include everything laid out here on the table. We'll go through all the pieces here.
We'll start with the solar panel itself. You can see it is a 1 flex 35-watt solar panel with the mounting hardware. Right here we have the 30-amp PWM solar charge controller. Over here we have a 25-foot long MC4 red extension cable. Here we have a 25-foot long black MC4 extension cable.
Right here we have a 10-amp fuse kit, and then over here we have a nice set of instructions that'll describe how this operates and how it all connects. This is a flexible monocrystalline solar panel. It will use the sunlight to produce 35 watts to charge RV batteries. It's a durable laminated backsheet, will withstand water, vapor, and dirt. And it's a very thin, lightweight design, provides a nice low profile, which is aesthetically pleasing and more aerodynamic than the traditional rigid solar models.
This solar panel is durable. As you can see, it'll allow a bend of up to 30 degrees, providing you with a long-term solution to your solar power needs. The panel itself is only about little over one pound and the thickness is about 1/8 of an inch, makes it very easy to install. The high energy monocrystalline cell will produce more power per square foot than any other panel on the market. The size of this is 15 inches wide by 24 1/2 inches long.
The solar panel, the rated power on this, as we mentioned, is 35 watts per panel, the voltage, 17.5 volts per panel. Now, they do also offer solar panel expansions that can be added to this kit to increase your solar power output. We do sell those separate on our website. Now, I also wanna zoom in and talk about this controller. This is a 30-amp PWM solar controller, adjust the solar panel output for a quick consistent charge. It does give you automatic multistage smart charging, helps extend the battery life, and the digital display right here will monitor your amperage or voltage and your battery capacity. Basically, the solar controller is gonna mount to a wall near the battery compartment and it is wired to the solar panel using those MC4 cables we just mentioned. Then the battery bank is wired to the terminals on the controller. Now, to install this, sealant adhesive is required for installation, and it's gonna depend on your roof membrane material. So that's why it's not included in this kit, so you would have to purchase that separately. And this system is perfect for RVs and even boats because the flexible design of the solar panel can conform to almost any surface. And as we've mentioned, it's ideal for lightweight RVs 'cause these modules are 82% lighter than the rigid solid panels. But that should do it for a look at this Go Power 35-watt Solar Flex Charging System with the 30-amp PWM solar controller.

Using a flexible 35-watt solar panel and solar controller, this charging system provides an extra boost to your RV batteries while you are on the road. Panel flexes to fit on various surfaces. Controller monitors output and prevents overcharging.
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.
Good product! I installed one of the panels last year and I am very satisfied. 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!
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?
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.
Great products and great company to do business with
