Hello Jay, I’m curious what panel you’re planning to use. How many panels will you be running, and what is the total wattage? I want to make sure the controller I recommended is properly sized for your setup. Right now, your camper has the Go Power…
Hello Chuck, The correct screen for the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller – PowerTrak – 12V and 24V – 30 Amp #GP32QR is the Go Power PowerTrak Screen – Touchscreen RV Control Panel – Auto-Dimming – Multi-Orientation #GP64XR. The Go Power!…
It sure can Drew! The Onan Generator - QG 7000i Onboard RV Generator item #CM44MR is the same size as the 5500-watt Onan generator. It measures 33-5/8" long x 22-1/8" wide x 16-3/4" tall and weighs 201 lbs. What kind of RV do you have?…
Great question, Sonia. Yes, the #GP85QR charger can be configured for lithium, AGM, or flooded lead-acid, and you can adjust those settings through the remote or the app. Once set, the inverter remembers the profile, even if you disconnect the…
You will need a different converter charger if you are going to lithium batteries, which is what I believe you are asking. The right one will depend on how many amp hours you need though, like the 100 amp-hour #34282738. I have added a link below to…
Hey Brad! I just went over this with Dometic/Go Power and you will need several wiring harnesses in addition to the #GP74XR you already picked up. To connect the Go Power PowerTrak Screen #GP64XR, Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger #GP85QR, and MPPT…
Hey Jon, welcome back! I checked with Rich Solar and went through the install guide/owners manual of the Rich Solar NOVA 3K12 3000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Built-in Transfer Switch for RVs #RS79VR that you referenced and they do not…
Yes, Marsha, that’s exactly what the #GP85QR is built for. Unlike the single-leg 30A #GP44XR, this one outputs on both legs, so it ties directly into a 50A distribution panel and supplies up to 3,000 W (not going to power the entire AC system of…
Steve, for the #GP44XR (along with other models like the #GP85QR and #GP94XR) you’ll want at least 4" of open space on all sides, especially around the fan vents. These units can move a lot of air under load. Mounting it in a ventilated…
Hey Johnathon, welcome back! It is normal for the PowerMax 11-Stage Smart Trickle Charger item #PM49VR to get warm during charging. Especially during the initial bulk charging stage when it works hardest to recharge a drained battery. You should…
Hey Robert, glad to hear the project is coming together! Great question on the etrailer PWM Solar Charge Controller #e42PR , those “Solar Appliance” aka 12V appliance terminals are essentially a load output from the controller. They’re designed to…
Hi Ric; using a converter that is not rated for lithium is not recommended. Your existing WFCO converter won't be able to fully charger a battery like #34282738, it could overheat, and might trip the BMS which would shut the battery down until it…
Easy place to shop. Fast delivery and great products. Very happy with my purchase.

Power Up with 40 Amp Solar Charge Controllers
40 Amp solar charge controllers are perfect for medium-sized solar setups, offering efficient energy management and protection for your solar panels and batteries. Ideal for RVs, boats, and off-grid cabins, they ensure optimal performance and longevity of your solar system.
A 40 Amp controller is great for medium-sized solar systems, handling up to 480 watts on a 12V system or 960 watts on a 24V system. It's perfect for RVs or small cabins, balancing power needs and efficiency without overloading your setup.
These controllers prevent overcharging and discharging, safeguarding your batteries and panels. They regulate voltage and current, ensuring your system runs smoothly and efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining battery health and extending system life.
Yes, a 40 Amp controller offers flexibility for future expansion. It can manage additional panels within its capacity, making it a versatile choice for growing solar needs without needing immediate upgrades.
Look for features like MPPT technology for maximum efficiency, LCD displays for easy monitoring, and multiple load control options. These enhance usability and ensure you're getting the most out of your solar investment.
Temperature can impact performance, but many controllers have temperature compensation features. This adjusts charging based on temperature changes, ensuring optimal performance and protecting your batteries in varying climates.
