20W monocrystalline panel and PWM controller from the Go Power! 20 Watt Eco Solar Kit

The Go Power! 20 Watt Eco Solar Kit Maintains a Stored RV, Trailer or Boat Battery With a Rigid Panel and a 10A PWM Controller

The Go Power! 20 Watt Eco Solar Kit is a solar battery maintainer for a 12V battery in a parked RV, trailer, boat or piece of equipment. It includes a 20W monocrystalline panel, a GP-SB-PWM-10 10 amp PWM charge controller, 25 ft red and black MC4 solar cables, a 10A fuse with fuse holder, and mounting feet and hardware.

Go Power sizes it to offset the standby draws of a stored coach, such as a propane detector, stereo memory and control boards, and to hold the battery at full charge through the off-season.


Go Power! 20 Watt Eco Solar Kit Features

A 20W Monocrystalline Panel

The panel is rated 20W, with a maximum power voltage of 17.5V, maximum power current of 1.14A, open circuit voltage of 21.6V and short circuit current of 1.21A. Go Power uses tempered glass to withstand hail or light debris and a clear anodized aluminum frame. It measures 13.58 x 18.50 x 0.98 in and weighs 3.97 lb.

About 6Ah a Day in Summer

Go Power estimates the kit returns about 6Ah a day in summer and about 2Ah a day in winter. It says that offsets the parasitic draws and self-discharge of a battery in storage.

A 10A PWM Controller With LCD

The GP-SB-PWM-10 is a 12-volt, single-bank PWM controller that mounts flush or on the surface. Its backlit LCD shows charging current, battery voltage, battery state of charge and amp hours charged. It handles up to 200W of solar at 12V, so you can add a larger panel later without replacing it.

Profiles for Lithium and Lead-Acid

You can set the controller for AGM, sealed or gel, flooded or LiFePO4 batteries, or use a custom profile. It uses 4-stage charging with bulk, absorption, float and equalization, and temperature compensation. For a lithium battery protected by its BMS, a wake-up function sends 5 pulses to restore it.

Fused Wiring and Mounting Feet

The kit includes a fuse holder and 10A ATO fuse for the battery side of the controller, butt splices and heat shrink, plus four mounting feet with 1/4 in bolts, lock nuts, washers and screws.


Real-World Applications

RV and trailer storage. Go Power says the kit keeps a stored coach battery full and healthy through the off-season by replacing the small draws that run around the clock.

Boats and equipment. Go Power also lists boats, tractors and other equipment batteries, where standby draws slowly empty a battery that sits unused.

A first step into solar. Because the controller handles up to 200W, you can start with this panel and add more solar later on the same controller.


Practical Comparison

20 Watt Eco Kit Versus a Camping Solar Kit

This kit maintains a battery. Go Power says it won't power a camp. For lights and fans on trips, Go Power suggests starting at 80W of solar, and for a fridge, 200W.

PWM Controller Versus a Direct Connection

Go Power's 10W Eco kit connects straight to the battery. Go Power says any panel over about 5W needs a controller to avoid overcharging, so the 20W kit includes the GP-SB-PWM-10.


Buyer Guidance

Installation

Go Power recommends installation by an RV technician or professional electrician. Bolt the four mounting feet to the outer holes in the panel frame, then screw them to a roof surface at least 1/2 in thick, at least 3 ft back from the front of the RV and clear of shade from the air conditioner, antennas and vents. Seal under and around each foot. Route the cables through the refrigerator vent or a cable entry plate, sold separately. Ring terminals and sealant are not included.

Controller Placement and Limits

Mount the controller vertically indoors, protected from the weather and as close to the battery as possible. Keep the fuse no more than 18 in from the battery connection, and keep wiring from the panel to the battery within 25 ft. The controller is for parallel 12V systems only. The kit manual says the panels' combined maximum power current must not exceed 10A and the array's open circuit voltage must not exceed 28V.

This May Be A Good Fit If

  • You store an RV, trailer or boat for long periods
  • You want a controller for any 12V battery type
  • You may add more solar later
  • You don't need to power camping loads

Common Questions

Will It Charge Lithium Batteries?

Yes. The controller has a selectable LiFePO4 profile as well as AGM, sealed or gel, and flooded settings. Set the battery type once at installation.

Why Include a 10A Controller With a 20W Panel?

Go Power says any panel over about 5W needs a controller to avoid overcharging, and the 10A unit leaves room to add up to 200W later.

Does Shade Matter?

Yes. Go Power says a shadow on one cell can cut a panel's output by half or more, so mount it away from the air conditioner shroud, antennas and vents.

What Warranty Does Go Power Give?

Go Power lists a 10-year limited power output warranty on the 20W panel.
