Go Power! Solar Extreme System – 600W Solar & GP-IC-3000 Inverter Charger (Legacy, 83297)

The Solar Extreme was Go Power!'s largest complete RV system: 600W of monocrystalline solar, a 30A Bluetooth PWM controller and the GP-IC-3000 inverter charger — 3000W of pure sine wave AC, a 125A battery charger and an automatic transfer switch in one unit. It has been replaced by the Solar Extreme AIC, but many are still on the road. This page keeps the system's specs, manuals and replacement parts in one place for owners.

How the system works

Solar charges your battery bank through the 30A controller. Off-grid, the inverter charger turns battery power into 120V AC for your breaker panel. Plug into shore power or start a generator and it switches over in about 16 milliseconds, passes power through to your panel and charges the batteries at up to 125A with a 3-stage charger and remote battery temperature sensor. Its transfer switch has two 50A legs (240V split-phase), so it works on 50A coaches as well as 30A.

Which version do I have?

Systems sold as part 83297 shipped with three 200W panels, the GP-SB-PWM-30-BT controller and the GP-IC-3000 inverter charger. Earlier Solar Extreme builds used smaller panels (480W or 570W total) and may have a different controller or inverter. Check the labels on your panels, controller and inverter, then open the matching manual under Documents.

Keep it running

At 600W the system is already at the 30A controller's limit; adding panels means adding a second controller, so talk to your dealer or Go Power! support first. To connect the IC-3000 to a PowerTrak™ RV-C network, add the GP-IC-RVC-ADAPTER and its harness. Remotes, Class T fuses, cables and mounting hardware are under Accessories. If the inverter charger needs replacing, the AIC-3000-12-DL is the current 3000W inverter charger with a 50A dual-leg transfer switch; the AIC-3000-12-SL has a 30A transfer switch.

• 600W of monocrystalline solar — three GP-PV-200M panels, 28.8A combined, solar connectors (SC).
• 30A Bluetooth PWM controller (GP-SB-PWM-30-BT) — LCD, lithium/AGM/gel/flooded profiles, Go Power! Connect app.
• GP-IC-3000-12 inverter charger — 3000W pure sine wave, 6000W surge, 90% peak efficiency.
• 125A power-factor-corrected battery charger — 3-stage with remote battery temperature sensor.
• Automatic transfer switch, 2 legs at 50A — works with 30A and 50A shore service; 16 ms transfer.
• GP-ICR-50 remote — 4-line digital display and 50 ft cable.
• GP-DC-KIT5 install kit — 400A Class T fuse and 4/0 AWG battery cables.
• ≈ 180Ah a day of solar in summer, ≈ 72Ah in winter.
• Suits 250Ah+ lithium or 400Ah+ AGM banks.

What 600W of solar puts back each day: about 180Ah into a 12V battery on a sunny spring or summer day and about 72Ah in fall and winter, the same rule our RV solar calculator uses (30Ah and 12Ah per 100W per day). Compare that with what your gear draws:

The 3000W inverter runs a microwave, coffee maker, induction cooktop, TV and laptops — though not all at once. A 1500W appliance uses about 70Ah from a 12V battery per 30 minutes. On shore power or a generator the 125A charger refills the bank quickly; roof air conditioning needs shore power or a generator.

• Length: 59.06 in
• Width: 26.3 in
• Height: 1.57 in

All six systems use a 30A Bluetooth PWM solar controller and include solar cables, mounting hardware and an inverter install kit. Daily harvest into a 12V battery is about 30Ah per 100W of solar in spring and summer and 12Ah in fall and winter, the same rule our RV solar calculator uses.
