The Go Power! 90 Watt Portable Solar Kit Charges Your 12V Battery From the Sun With Nothing to Install
The Go Power! 90 Watt Portable Solar Kit (GP-PSK-90) is a folding 90W monocrystalline solar panel with a built-in 10A PWM charge controller, adjustable legs, a 12 ft lead and a heavy-duty nylon carry case. You unfold it, aim it at the sun and connect it to your 12V battery with the included clamps, or plug it into your RV's sidewall solar port with one of the included adapters.
It's made for campers, pop-up trailers, boats and RVs that need a steady battery top-up on weekend trips. Go Power estimates it puts about 27Ah a day into a 12V battery on a sunny spring or summer day, and about 11Ah a day in fall and winter.
Go Power! 90 Watt Portable Solar Kit Features
Two Monocrystalline Panels in One Folding Frame
Two 45W monocrystalline panels share a silver anodized aluminum frame. They fold shut with two latches and carry by the handle, with corner protectors and protective feet on the frame. The panel is rated 19.8V at maximum power with a 23.6V open-circuit voltage, and it carries an IP52 rating.
A 10A PWM Controller Built Into the Panel
The GP-PWM-10-FM controller rides on the panel, so there is nothing to mount or wire inside your RV. It uses 4-stage PWM charging with settings for Sealed/Gel, AGM/LiFePO4 and Flooded batteries, plus a monthly equalize option for flooded batteries only. It is temperature compensated and protected against battery and solar reverse polarity, over temperature, PV short circuit and over current.
An LCD Screen and a USB Charging Port
The backlit LCD shows charging current, battery voltage, battery state of charge and amp hours charged since the last reset. A 5V USB port supplies up to 1500 mA for a phone or tablet. To protect your battery, the port switches off when battery voltage drops below 11.0V and turns back on once it reaches 12.8V.
A 12 Ft Lead So You Can Park in the Shade
The 12 ft solar cable ends in an Anderson-style quick connector. Park in the shade, set the panel in the sun and run the lead to your battery or solar port. If you need more reach, the GP-PSK-X30 30 ft extension cable is sold separately.
Every Connector in the Case
Battery clamps, quick connectors, ring terminals for a permanent hookup, an SAE solar plug adapter and an XLR-style solar plug adapter all come in the kit. That covers a direct battery connection and the Zamp Solar Ready and Go Power! Solar On The Side sidewall ports.
Folds Into a Heavy-Duty Nylon Case
Closed, the panel measures 21.7 x 19.9 x 2.5 inches and slides into its nylon carry case for the truck bed or a storage bay. Open, it spans 21.7 x 39.8 inches. The kit weighs 19.8 lb.
Real-World Applications
Weekend camping. Go Power puts LED lights, a vent fan, a water pump and phone and laptop charging at about 25Ah a day, and says this kit covers that daily in summer.
RV storage. Go Power estimates the parasitic draws of a parked RV at about 4Ah a day, which this kit covers daily in summer.
Pop-up trailers and boats. Clip onto the battery, or use the ring terminals for a permanent connection, and charge without drilling or roof work.
12V fridge trips. Go Power estimates a 12V compressor fridge alone at about 50Ah a day. This kit covers about 54% of that in summer, so plan on more solar or a generator or shore power day.
Practical Comparison
GP-PSK-90 Versus GP-PSK-200
Both are folding kits with legs, a 12 ft lead and the same connector set, and both carry a 25-year panel and 3-year controller warranty. The GP-PSK-200 has 200W of solar and a 30A PWM controller, with an estimated 60Ah a day in summer and 24Ah in winter, and it weighs 51 lb. The GP-PSK-90 weighs 19.8 lb and suits lighter loads and smaller batteries.
GP-PSK-90 Versus the DuraLite 100W Kit
The DuraLite 100W kit has a 30A PWM controller with a lithium profile, an estimated 30Ah a day in summer and 12Ah in winter, and it can grow to 300W with expansion panels. It has a 2-year warranty. The GP-PSK-90 is a stand-alone kit that can't be expanded, with a rigid folding frame and an IP52 rating.
Buyer Guidance
Check Your RV's Solar Port First
This kit has its own controller. If your coach's sidewall port also has a factory controller behind it, connect at the battery with the clamps instead, or confirm the port is a direct feed to the battery. Go Power's rule of thumb is 100W of solar per 100Ah of battery for a bank that recovers from an overnight draw by mid-afternoon, and a lead-acid bank should not be discharged below 50%.
Placement and Weather
Set the panel where nothing shades it. Even a shadow as thin as a broomstick can cut output, and overcast days reduce it too. Turn the panel through the day to follow the sun. The panel is weather-resistant at IP52, but keep water off the controller and fold the kit away dry.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want battery charging with no installation
- You camp on weekends with lights, fans and device charging
- Your RV has a Zamp Solar Ready or Solar On The Side port
- You want to park in the shade with the panel in the sun
Common Questions
Can I Plug It Into My RV's Solar Port?
Yes. The SAE and XLR-style adapters fit Zamp Solar Ready and Go Power! Solar On The Side sidewall ports. If a factory controller sits behind the port, connect at the battery instead.
Does It Work With Lithium Batteries?
It charges 12V lithium batteries that have a BMS. The controller's battery settings are Sealed/Gel, AGM/LiFePO4 and Flooded.
Can I Add a Second Panel?
No. The GP-PSK-90 is a stand-alone kit. If you want a portable kit you can expand, the DuraLite 100W kit grows to 300W.
Can I Leave It Out in the Rain?
The panel is rated IP52 and is weather-resistant, but you should still store it dry and keep water away from the controller.
