4.0 Choosing a Location
The GP-PWM-30 is designed to be mounted flush against a wall, out of
the way but easily visible.
The GP-PWM-30 should be:
Mounted as close to the battery as possible
Mounted on a vertical surface to optimize cooling of the unit
Indoors, protected from the weather
In a RV, the most common controller location is above the refrigerator.
The wire from the solar array most commonly enters the RV through the
fridge vent on the roof. PV connections should conn
ect directly to the
controller. Positive and negative battery connections must connect
directly from the controller to the batteries. Use of a positive or negative
distribution bus is allowed between the controller and battery as long as
it is properly sized, electrically safe and an adequate wire size is
maintained.
