  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION A Solar Controller (or Charge Controller / Regulator) is an essential component of your photovoltaic solar system. The Controller maintains the life of the battery by protecting it from overcharging. When your battery has reached a 100% state of charge, the Controller prevents overcharging by limiting the current flowing into the batteries from your solar array.

  • Page 6: Warnings

    2. WARNINGS Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only Disconnect all power sources by a licensed electrician or qualified personnel. Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling Battery and wiring safety or working around batteries. When charging, batteries produce hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive.

  • Page 7: Tools And Materials Needed

    3. TOOL AND MATERIALS NEEDED • Flathead Screwdriver (for wire terminals) • Philips Screwdriver (for mounting screws) If the GP-SB-PWM Controller was purchased with a Go Power! RV Solar Power Kit, then UV resistant wire is included. Note For instructions regarding the Go Power! RV Solar Power Kit installation, please refer to the Installation Guide provided with the Kit.

  • Page 9: Wiring Diagram

    7. WIRING DIAGRAM The GP-SB-PWM Maximum 37.5A rating is based on a 30-amp total maximum short circuit current rating (Isc) from the parallel solar modules’ nameplate ratings. The National Electric Code specifies the PV equipment/system rating to be 125% of the maximum Isc from the PV module nameplate ratings (1.25 times 30 = 37.5A).

  • Page 10: Menu Operation

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 8.1 MENU OPERATION Three menus are implemented in the display: status, settings, and history. At power up, the controller turns on within the status menu. The different menus can then be accessed by pressing the Enter key as shown below. This leads to the status menu number one.

  • Page 11: Charging Algorithm

    9. CHARGING ALGORITHM The charge controller has a 4-stage battery charging algorithm for a rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging. These stages include: Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalization. 9.1 FIRST STAGE: BULK This algorithm uses 100% of available PV power to recharge the battery and provides the maximum current available based on max- imum input current setting.

  • Page 12: Lithium Wake-Up

    10. LITHIUM WAKE-UP When the GP-SB-PWM is powered by a PV panel but the battery is not detected, it sends 5 pulses to restore a Lithium battery that has been protected from over discharge by its BMS. The LCD indicates this process by showing the displays below. If a battery is still not detected after the fifth trial, the controller shows error number 32 to ndicate this failure.

  • Page 13: Status Parameters

    12. STATUS PARAMETERS The status menu, entered by the controller at power-up, is used to display key parameters as well as warnings and faults.Three displays are automatically scrolled through as shown below. The up and down keys can also be used to manually scroll through these.
  • Page 14 STATUS PARAMETERS When a fault or warning is present in the system, auto-scroll is disabled and the display freezes on the fault shown. These are displayed below: FAILURE TYPE DISPLAY Internal Temperature Circuit Battery Voltage Reverse Polarity PV Voltage Reverse Polarity PCB Over Temperature PV Over Voltage LFP Wake Up...
