FIGURE 3-A
3.1 PLACEMENT OF SOLAR PANELS
1. Remove all solar panels from their boxes. Set aside the boxes as they will be used in the instructions to follow.
2. Using the solar panel boxes as placeholders, plan the layout of the panels on your RV rooftop. Once you have positioned
the boxes correctly, leave the boxes on the RV roof as place holders until the panels are installed. (See Figure 2-B for a
sample layout).
• Placement of the panels should be as close together as possible. Each panel has 3.3’ of cable coming from the
junction box. It may be necessary to use the included solar panel extension cables. If required, longer extension
cables can be purchased. Please contact your dealer to purchase.
• Select a location where the mounting surface is at least 1/2” thick and strong enough to support the solar panel
mounting hardware.
• Solar panels should be located a minimum of 3’ from the front of the RV to reduce wind load on the panels.
• Avoid internal wiring when selecting the solar panel mounting locations for drilling the mounting holes.
• Ensure xed obstacles, such as air conditioners, will not shade the solar panels. (Shading can greatly reduce the
performance of the solar system).
•
Ensure there is enough room to access the panels and other xed obstacles for future inspection and maintenance.
Note
3. PLANNING LOCATIONS
3.2 CABLE ENTRY PLATE(S)
1. Plan where the Cable Entry Plate(s) (CEP) will be located on the RV roof.
•
Make sure it is within reach of the solar panels. It may be necessary to use the included extension cables to reach
the CEP(s). If required, longer extension cables can be purchased. Please contact your dealer to purchase.
•
Make sure the CEP location(s) is also accessible from the interior of the RV to route the cables to the charge
controller.
• The GP-MPPT-PRO-60 charge controller(s) should be placed no more than 25’ from the CEP(s). Closer is better
to reduce the voltage loss due to resistance.
Note
3.3 GP-MPPT-PRO-60 CHARGE CON-
TROLLER
1. Plan where the GP-MPPT-PRO-60 charge controller(s) will
mount, see Figure 3-A for more detail including maximum
distances.
•
The GP-MPPT-PRO-60 is designed to be mount-
ed vertically in an indoor location inside a weath-
erproof enclosure.
•
The GP-MPPT-PRO-60 weighs approximately
2.6lbs. – ensure the mounting location will hold
this weight.
•
The location will need access to the cables ends
from the CEP, the battery compartment and the
GP-MPPT-PRO-R remote cable.
• The SOLAR-AE6 includes a second GP-MPPT-
PRO-60 to be connected in parallelization mode
to allow for 80A charging.
WARNING: Failure to secure the GP-MPPT-
PRO-60 could cause it to become dislodged
while the RV is underway and cause severe
damage to the unit and/or the RV.
