Description
The Go Power GP-RVC-30-MPPT (part number 82890) is a 30A MPPT solar charge controller for 12V or 24V RV battery systems. It can charge the house battery bank and maintain a second chassis or starting battery from the same solar array. The controller uses the house bank as its priority: once that bank reaches absorption, available solar charging is directed to the secondary battery.
Key features
- 30A maximum solar charging current
- Supports 12V and 24V battery systems

Solar array sizing
The rated input ceiling is 600W on a 12V system or 1,200W on a 24V system. Go Power recommends a more conservative array size of up to approximately 400W at 12V or 950W at 24V for typical installations. Keep the array open-circuit voltage below 100V and follow the manufacturer's wiring guidance.
Battery-bank operation and accessories
BAT1 is the primary house battery connection. BAT2 receives surplus solar charging after BAT1 reaches absorption; it is not a second 30A output. For a single-bank installation, connect the battery to BAT1 only. The controller has status LEDs rather than a built-in screen. The optional GP-RVC-R remote or a compatible RV-C/PowerTrak display is required for remote monitoring; display, harness and network accessories are sold separately.
Choose the battery profile to match the battery manufacturer's charging requirements. Follow the Go Power installation manual for array wiring, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection and grounding. Manufacturer warranty: 5 years, subject to Go Power's terms.
