2. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on purchasing your Go Power! Solar All Electric Kit. You have chosen a clean, quiet and sustainable power
source. Go Power! Solar Kits allow you to power appliances o-gird, without hooking up to shore power or a noisy generator. Go
Power! solar kits will keep your batteries charged, ensuring you have power when you need it.
This large mobile DC power system is designed for full-time living—even powering a residential-sized electric refrigerator, in
addition to lights, fans or water pumps. To power AC electronics or devices o-grid, such as a television or coee maker, a DC
to AC power inverter (sold separately) will be necessary. As with any o-grid power systems, the user is required to manage
electrical loads to ensure continual power availability for essential services like the refrigerator. Your location and season (hours
of sunlight available) play a role in how much energy can be harnessed from this kit.
This manual will aid in the process of installing the Go Power! Solar All Electric Kit. Please read and understand this
manual and all included manuals before installing the Go Power! All Electric Solar Kit. Review all diagrams included
in this guide for the easiest and safest installation. Please retain this manual for future reference.

2.2 HOW DOES A GO POWER! SOLAR CHARGING KIT WORK?
The solar panel converts the sun’s energy into DC electricity and this electricity charges the battery. The battery stores the elec-
tricity, similar to a water tank storing water. This battery power may be used at any time to operate DC powered devices connected
to the battery. To increase the battery service life, a solar controller is used to prevent the solar panels from overcharging the
batteries. This process is managed by the GP-MPPT-PRO-60 controller(s) included in this kit. (See Figure 2-A and 2-B on the
following page for examples).
The Go Power! SOLAR-AE6 Kit includes 6 solar panels and the SOLAR-AE4 includes 4 solar panels for use with a
12-volt system.
WARNING: The solar panels in the SOLAR-AE6 kit are designed to be connected in 2 strings of 3 panels in
SERIES. Failure to follow this will cause the system to produce large voltages or currents which the GP-MPPT-
PRO-60 Solar Controller, Solar Disconnect and cabling is not designed to handle.
WARNING: The solar panels in the SOLAR-AE4 kit are designed to be connected in SERIES. Failure to follow
this will cause the system to produce large currents which the Solar Disconnect and cabling is not designed
to handle.
WARNING: Incorrect wiring can result in irreparable damage to the system (not covered under warranty), re,
or serious injuries.
