The Solar Elite 83296 and Solar Extreme 83297 are legacy Go Power complete RV power systems. Elite combines 400W solar with a 2000W IC inverter/charger; Extreme combines 600W solar with a 3000W IC inverter/charger. Compare their parts here before ordering a replacement.

Solar Elite versus Solar Extreme power system

The illustration shows the functional connections between panels, charging equipment, the battery and AC loads.

Original functional overview, not a wire-to-terminal installation schematic. Actual inverter output and AC service conditions depend on the specific model and RV distribution layout.

How the IC-series inverter/chargers work

These systems use GP-IC-series inverter/chargers, not standalone ISW inverters. External AC can pass through their built-in transfer arrangement while the unit charges batteries from AC; without external AC, selected protected loads are supplied by the inverter. The transfer design supports two 50A legs, while total inverter power remains limited to the unit's 2000W or 3000W output.

IC is not the same product as AIC. Newer AIC-2000/3000 single-leg systems have a different 30A transfer arrangement and different harness requirements, so never assume a drop-in replacement based on wattage alone.

Elite and Extreme exact component comparison

Specification Solar Elite 83296 Solar Extreme 83297
Solar array 2 × 200W = 400W 3 × 200W = 600W
Inverter/charger model GP-IC-2000-12 GP-IC-3000-12
Continuous inverter output 2000W 3000W
Internal AC battery charger 100A 125A
Automatic transfer switch Built-in, two 50A legs Built-in, two 50A legs
PV charge controller 30A Bluetooth PWM 30A Bluetooth PWM
IC series remote GP-ICR-50 GP-ICR-50
Battery fuse and cable kit GP-DC-KIT4, 300A, 2/0 AWG GP-DC-KIT5, 400A, 4/0 AWG
200W expansion Subject to controller & array limits Check separately; already 600W array
Match DC protection by model: Elite uses GP-DC-KIT4, 2/0 AWG with 300A Class T protection; Extreme uses GP-DC-KIT5, 4/0 AWG with 400A Class T protection. The legacy factory wiring manual can depict older lower-wattage panels, so confirm the actual module label on your 83296/83297 kit.

Electrical safety: Solar panels can remain energized in daylight. Disconnect shore, generator and battery sources before work. High-current DC connections and AC transfer wiring should be performed by qualified RV electrical personnel following the factory instructions.
