I recently tested renogy's 3.8kWh Go Far Solution and wanted to add some extra power to my camper setup. It comes with all the cables and fuses you need, so I didn't have to spend time hunting down parts.

I built a box to mount everything in, which meant space was tight from the start. But the wiring diagram and instructions were clear enough that I could just follow along. The cable labels really helped. Connecting everything was straightforward. Every cable has a clear tag, so it was easy to tell where each one went.

I did run into a small issue with the lugs on some of the breaker and busbar cables. Apart from that, everything went smoothly. I mounted all the components, torqued every connection to spec, and secured the cables with zip ties. I also made sure the cables were routed so they wouldn't rub against each other or the sides of the enclosure.

The whole install took me a few hours. I think that's pretty quick, mostly because the instructions were clear enough that I knew what I was doing at every step.

It's now up and running without any issues. Overall, I think this kit is a solid choice, especially if you are new to this kind of project. I still need to add some ventilation and fans later, I will update here once I get to that.

When I first opened the kit, I thought the concept was a great idea, and I still do. Having all the major components, cables, fuses, bus bars, and disconnects included in one package takes a lot of the guesswork out of building a system. However, I quickly realized that cable length can become a challenge if you're working in a tight space.

​

For this project, I built a box to mount everything in, which meant space was limited from the start. I spent quite a bit of time moving components around and trying different layouts before finding a configuration that would work.

​

Connecting everything was straightforward thanks to the cable labels. Every cable is clearly marked, making it easy to identify where it belongs. The challenge was managing the extra cable length and figuring out how to route everything cleanly without ending up with a tangled mess. After a few adjustments, I finally found a layout that allowed everything to fit and look organized.

​

One issue I ran into was with the cables running between the disconnects and the bus bars. If I positioned the lug correctly on the disconnect, the lug on the bus bar side would not sit flat. If I flipped the cable to make the bus bar connection sit properly, the lug on the disconnect side would interfere with the disconnect body. I was able to torque everything down and get it to sit flat, but for this particular cable, it would work much better if the lugs were oriented opposite of each other rather than facing the same direction.

​

Once the layout was finalized, I mounted all the components, torqued every connection to specification, and secured the cables with zip ties. I also made sure the cables were routed so they were not rubbing against each other or the sides of the enclosure.

​

With the wiring complete, I installed the battery and torqued the battery connections. Then I connected my spare One Core, which is not included with the kit, to the inverter's USB port. I also temporarily connected the BT-2 module to the DC to DC MPPT charger.

​

Then came the moment I had been waiting for. I turned on the main disconnect, and the DC to DC MPPT charger powered up. Next, I turned on the inverter disconnect and the inverter powered on, followed by the One Core. After performing a One Core firmware update, I started adding devices and everything connected without any issues. I set the battery capacity on the shunt, and now it just needs time to complete its calibration process.

​

The final steps are mounting the One Core and BT-2 module to their permanent locations and adding some ventilation ports and fans, which will be another day. It took a few hours for this whole project.

​

Overall, I think the kit is a solid option, especially for someone getting started with this type of system. Having all the required components packaged together and a simple diagram to follow simplifies the process considerably. The one suggestion I would make is for Renogy to offer cable length options when ordering. That would make the kit even more flexible for installations where space is limited and custom cable lengths would result in a cleaner layout.

​

My overall rating is 5 out of 5. The kit was well thought out, easy to install, and came with everything needed to get the system up and running. The labeled cables and clear diagram made the entire process much easier than building a system from individual parts.

The complete kit from box to power in just a few hours.

​

Wanted more power and this was it, So I picked up the Renogy Go Far Kit.

Opened the box and started to grin, Everything I needed was packed within.

​

The labels were clear and the parts all fit, That's one thing I liked about the Go Far Kit.

No guessing, no searching, no hunting for bits, Just follow the diagram and build with the kit.

​

When building a system seems like a big mission,

Start with the Renogy Simple Solution.

First Look at the New Go Far Solution Kit

I recently received a new Solution Kit from Renogy that includes a 300Ah Mini battery, Bluetooth 2000W inverter with ats, 50A DC-DC on-board battery charger with MPPT, a 200W ShadowFlux panel, and a new complete cable kit.

The cable kit includes all of the major wiring components needed to put the system together, including the cables, fuses, bus bars, disconnects, and monitoring equipment.

Upon opening the box, everything was neatly packed and well protected. As I started unpacking the components, I was immediately impressed by the size of the 300A bus bars and 350A disconnects. Those components are built to handle some serious current and should have no problem supporting the demands of the system. The kit also includes a Bluetooth shunt 300 for system monitoring, along with a BT-2 module for the 50A DC-DC on-board battery charger with MPPT charger to make setup and configuration easier.

After removing the upper packaging, I found all of the cables and fuses organized in the lower section of the box. Each cable and fuse package is labeled with its installation location and a number that corresponds to the wiring diagram. I went through the contents and verified that everything listed on the diagram was included.

Once I opened the cable packages, I noticed that every cable is labeled on both ends showing exactly where it should be installed. That level of organization should make the installation process much easier and help eliminate any guesswork.

Honestly, the whole kit feels a lot like a giant Lego set for a solar system. Follow the diagram, match the labels, and everything has a designated place. For someone putting together a complete system, that should make the installation process much more straightforward.

I've been using the communication hub for about a week now, and so far I'm glad I decided to add it to my system.

The biggest thing I've noticed is reliability. Since installing the hub, it has been 100% reliable, which is a huge improvement over my experience with the BT-2 modules. The BT-2 is a great option when you want to avoid running additional cables, but Bluetooth can sometimes be frustrating with connection drops and communication issues.

With the communication hub, everything is hardwired, so there is no wireless connection to worry about. That eliminates potential interference and has made the system much more dependable.

I still need to run a Cat6 cable through the camper's underbelly and up the wall to the One Core's permanent location, but at least I know the setup works exactly as intended.

The only downside I've found so far is that without using the BT-2, I no longer have access to the controller settings through the app. It would be nice if Renogy added the ability to access and adjust those settings directly through the One Core in a future update.

Overall, after a week of use, I have been very happy with the communication hub and wish I had installed it sooner.

I may have made a last minute sale purchase last night.
