Specs:
The Go Power portable solar system provides an easy way to charge your RV batteries with clean, renewable power. Using the 200-watt foldable solar panel, this system collects solar energy to create DC power that passes through a solar charge controller into your RV batteries. The kit includes several adapters to suit your charging application. Also, it comes in a heavy-duty, nylon carrying case for convenient transport and storage.
If you occasionally dry camp with your RV, this kit is a perfect solution for charging batteries while you're away from shore power. And since the system is portable and flexible, you can choose where to place the panel and charge other batteries using solar power as well. It's also a great complement to your rooftop RV solar panels, providing an extra boost of charge when you need it.
The charging process starts with the solar panel, which unfolds and uses adjustable legs for support. When solar energy interacts with the silicon cells in the panel, it generates a flow of DC electrical current that charges your RV's batteries. Each of the monocrystalline cells is made from a single crystal of silicon, so the electrons that create the current have more space to move, making this panel more efficient than one with polycrystalline cells. And in optimal sunlight conditions, the panel produces 200 watts per hour.
The silicon cells are set between a cushioned backing material and tempered solar glass to withstand the elements. The glass has low-iron content to provide exceptional transparency, which ensures maximum sunlight collection. Finally, the panel is framed with anodized marine-grade aluminum to resist rust and corrosion.
The solar controller prevents harmful overcharging by adjusting the power generated by the solar panel before it reaches your batteries. It uses pulse width modulation technology to regulate the output through pulses that provide a consistent charge. Typically, this type of technology is a good fit for smaller systems with lower voltages.
Using a multistage charging system, the controller automatically switches voltages while the battery bank charges. This accelerates the charge, but also helps extend battery life by adjusting the voltage during the different modes. The controller is compatible with multiple battery types and includes preset charging profiles for sealed/gel, AGM, flooded/wet cell, and lithium batteries.
The backlit, digital display acts as an information center for your solar panel output. It shows the charging current, battery voltage, and battery state of charge. It also allows you to input your battery type and choose a charging profile. Additionally, a built-in USB port on the front of the controller provides a convenient outlet to charge your cell phone or tablet.
Lastly, the controller includes several built-in safety features to help protect your equipment. The charging process will shut down if the controller starts to overheat and when an overcurrent is detected. Also, if the battery or solar panel is wired incorrectly, it activates a reverse polarity alarm.
This kit includes several adapters to suit different applications. It comes with XLR-style and SAE solar plugs, which work with RVs that are pre-wired for solar, including Zamp solar ports. For traditional battery connections, it has battery clamps and battery terminals. Additionally, a 7-pin trailer adapter (sold separately) provides another connection to your 5th wheel or camper. Each adapter has an Anderson connector which plugs into the portable solar panel.
The durable, nylon carrying case has a rigid exterior and soft interior to help protect your panel during storage and transport.
If you need more distance between your battery connection and the panel, the extension cable (sold separately) provides 30' of additional length.

Includes adapters to suit your battery connection.Purchasing this was very streamline /easy to do. Customer service representative Alex J. was very helpful. I’d sent him a couple of pictures of the plug set up on my RV and he was able to confirm that this item would fit and work on my RV. It arrived fast and undamaged. This is my first solar panel kit and it’s kinda heavy & appears very sturdy. Haven’t tried it yet on my rv but will do asap. I’ll be using this item to recharge my RV’s 2 batteries.
Andy M - 09/04/2021before I ordered this solar kit for my RV , I had done extensive research on solar systems and Go Power was my choice far above other systems. When It arrived it performed exactly how I expected. Customer service from E trailer and Go Power was excellent as well.

Got this portable solar panel for camping use. Instead of having my batteries drained for using small electrical items, this saved our batteries. We would put it on the roof of the camper to get most of the sunlight and its not in our way.
Appears to be well built and a good package of optional cords, etc. Capacity is trade off with size/ weight with solar so research what you need and don’t get more than you need if convenience is big concern.
Powerful and effective. I was surprised how quickly the solar panels 'charge'. All necessary connections were available and hooking up the panels to my RV was seamless and easy.
We have used this for a year and it has kept our batteries charged. Usually we need to buy new batteries every year or 2 - not now!! We are sssooooo pleased with this product.
I have used the solar panels many times know. They are fantastic I have had full power every time and the customer service is great as well
Every fitting provide to ensure this kit will suit your need. Awesome system!
Joseph - 08/08/2021What a wonderful experience etrailer gave us. Spent lots of time investigating, got the answers, ordered the panels on Friday and BOOM, panels arrived Wednesday. Couldn't be happier with the speed and efficiency of etrailer
They work great as an adjunct to my sys tem!
Slight damage to box in transit ( fairly heavy) but upon inspection everything was good inside. Found 3 rivets had fallen out from various hindges. Used short, stubby screws to fix. Panels worked great with 14.3 volts and 6 amps right off the bat. Thank you etrailer for getting the panels across country in time for our trip. Going to be dry camping 7 days and didn't want to run generator
I received the 200 W Portable Solar Panel today. The order came in on time and in fine condition. Very easy to set up, even without any instructions. I am now charging my travel trailer batteries as I write this review. Seems all is well.
I felt your response to the problems with the 200 Watt solar panel was excellent. You were prompt and immediately helped solve the problem. I highly recommend etrailer.com
Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Solid and well made. The instructional videos made by etrailer are a nice touch and helpful.
Just got it, haven't had a chance to use it, but it looks very well designed, and includes what you need. Looking forward to see how it works.
Excellant product very happy with the p urchase
it works.
Very happy. Thank you
Review from a similar Portable Solar Kit in RV Solar Panels
As soon as I received the package, I set up my new solar panel to charge the battery in my living quarters horse trailer. Since I exclusively dry camp, and have neither AC nor microwave on my trailer, I opted for the 90 watt panel. It did a great job of topping off the battery. I tested out the USB charge system by charging a small back up battery, which is what I use to keep my phone charged while riding during the day. Other than no display to indicate it's doing anything, it worked quite well. Then I got out the 12 volt marine battery I use to run my water pump, which I knew was drained during a recent power outage. Despite rain and overcast, it brought the marine battery from 40% to 100% in 2 days. The big test was taking it to an event where we were parked for 3 days. I hooked up the panel to the trailer with the 7-pin adapter I also purchased and left it while I rode for the day. The second day I plugged in the battery I had exhausted while on trail the first day. By midday, the back up battery was charged. The trailer battery was maintaining at 100% since midday the first day. It successfully kept my trailer battery charged and my back ups charged over 3 days. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made.
