Manufacturer

Go Power

<p>Since 1996, Go Power has established itself as a leader in mobile solar power and the top choice for off-grid power in RV, marine, and fleet applications. Founded in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, as a small distributor of solar energy products, the company is now part of the Dometic Group, bringing decades of expertise in portable renewable energy solutions to outdoor enthusiasts and commercial operators across North America.</p><h3>Pioneering Off-Grid Power Solutions</h3><p>From humble beginnings as a Canadian distributor, Go Power has grown to become one of North America's leading suppliers of recreational and business solar solutions. The brand's comprehensive product lineup addresses every aspect of mobile power generation and management, from capturing solar energy to storing it efficiently and converting it for practical use. Whether you're an RV owner seeking extended boondocking capability, a boater planning long cruises away from shore power, or a fleet manager looking to reduce fuel costs, Go Power provides integrated systems designed for reliable performance in demanding off-grid environments.</p><h3>Complete Mobile Power Systems</h3><p>Go Power provides a full range of high-quality solar chargers, inverters, controllers, and power accessories—dependable and cost-effective mobile power solutions when grid power is unavailable or unsustainable. The brand's <a href="/11123-go-power-inverters-200588">inverters</a> serve as the critical link between DC battery power and AC household appliances, converting stored solar energy into usable electricity for microwaves, televisions, computers, and other essential devices. While older inverters use modified sine wave technology, Go Power's pure sine inverters provide superior performance and assurance that all current and future devices will run optimally.</p><p>Go Power's solar panels, inverters, controllers, and batteries provide a durable, dependable, and cost-effective solution wherever mobile power is needed. Their <a href="/11123-go-powercarmanah-vehicle-battery-2476">vehicle batteries</a>, available in both AGM and lithium technologies, form the backbone of any mobile power system, storing solar-generated energy for use during nighttime hours or cloudy conditions. The company's product design philosophy emphasizes easy installation, durability in harsh conditions, and seamless integration between components.</p><h3>Industry Recognition and Quality Standards</h3><p>Go Power is the choice of RVers everywhere and is available pre-installed on many types of RVs, including Jayco, Forest River, and Tiffin. The company backs its rigid solar panels with an industry-leading 25-year power-output warranty, demonstrating confidence in long-term performance and reliability. This commitment to quality has earned the brand multiple industry accolades and a loyal following among off-grid adventurers who depend on consistent power in remote locations.</p><h3>Environmental and Economic Benefits</h3><p>Go Power's solar solutions are environmentally friendly—no more running generators or idling work trucks to keep batteries charged, and unlike generators, solar solutions don't require fuel or give off pollutants. The silent operation of solar power systems preserves the tranquility of natural settings while eliminating recurring fuel expenses. Mobile solar installations also extend battery lifespan through optimal charging management, prevent dead battery situations in remote locations, and require minimal maintenance beyond keeping panels clean and checking connections.</p>

Product Details

The Go Power 83838 is a 30 amp MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge controller designed for 12-volt off-grid photovoltaic systems in RVs, marine vessels, and mobile applications. This advanced dual bank controller regulates current flow from solar panels to your batteries while preventing harmful overcharging to extend battery life.

MPPT Technology for Maximum Efficiency:

  • MPPT charging technology provides up to 98% efficiency, harvesting up to 30% more power than traditional PWM controllers
  • Continuously monitors solar panel output and tracks the maximum power point to optimize charging in all sun and tilt conditions
  • Ideal for series wiring configurations and maximizes power from your solar array

Dual Bank Charging Capability:

  • Features two independent battery outputs (BAT1 and BAT2) for managing multiple battery banks
  • Prioritizes BAT1 (house battery) at all times to ensure maximum charge, then diverts excess power to BAT2
  • Perfect for motorized RVs with both house and chassis battery systems

Universal Battery Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all battery types including Lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, Gel, and Flooded Lead Acid
  • Multiple battery charging profiles with 4-stage charging: Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalize
  • Temperature compensation automatically adjusts charge parameters to improve battery life
  • Lithium battery reset capability allows automatic recovery of BMS-protected over-discharged batteries

Advanced Protection Features:

  • Comprehensive electronic fault self-detection prevents component damage from installation errors
  • Current-limited charging mode prevents overcharging when solar panel power exceeds rated capacity
  • LED fault indicators display abnormal information for quick system troubleshooting
  • Over-temperature protection safeguards controller and batteries

Smart System Integration:

  • RV-C communication capability integrates seamlessly with modern "smart RV" onboard systems
  • Optional Bluetooth-enabled remote display (sold separately) for wireless monitoring
  • Compatible with Go Power Connect app for remote system monitoring and control
  • Stackable design allows adding additional controllers to expand your solar array capacity

This solar charge controller is an essential component of any photovoltaic system, protecting your investment by maintaining optimal battery health and maximizing solar energy harvest. The controller is designed for flush or surface mounting in protected indoor locations, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
