GP-FLEX-30 1.1 How Does a Go Power! Solar Charging Kit Work? The solar module converts the sun’s energy into DC electricity and this electricity charges the battery. The battery stores the electricity, similar to a water tank storing water. The battery power may be used at any time to operate devices connected to the battery. To stop the battery from being overcharged by the solar module, a solar controller is connected in between the solar module and the battery.

GP-FLEX-30 2.0 Wiring Modules with MC4 Cables Solar Kits with MC4 cables contain a potted or sealed junction box with a positive and negative MC4 connector. This is referred to as an MC4 junction box. MC4 connectors are either positive or negative and each connector has its polarity symbol embossed close to the connection point. To extend a cable from an MC4 junction box, a polarity opposite connector must be used. E.G. a negative connector must plug into a positive connector in order to extend it.
