Will the Go Power Portable Solar System Plug Directly Into An R-Pod Trailer

Updated 06/02/2025 | Published 12/17/2020

Question:

I am thinking about buying the GO Power Portable Solar System 130 Watt and I have a 2017 R-Pod model 179 that has a Go Power Solar on the Side Compatible with any Portable Solar Kit and Rated for 20 Amps. Do I need to buy anything else to plug in the Go Power unit to this R-Pod? and if so what?

The Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller part # 34282730 comes with everything needed to plug into an R-Pod, there will be no separate cables or adapters needed if you have the pre-wired solar port.

Do I need an inverter if I purchase the 130 watt that would plug into my rv.

@Connor Most likely yes. It depends somewhat on what you're wanting to run off of your Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller item # 34282730. If you're just wanting to keep your batteries topped off then no. You can install a smaller one like the Go Power Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter - 225 Watts - 12V item # 34280173 for sensitive electronics. What are you wanting to power off of your solar panels?
