Can RV Solar Kit Be Expanded with Additional Solar Panels?

Question

Question:

Is there an option to purchase the same kit, but with additional 100W solar panels? I.e. a 200W or 300W kit? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Go Power Retreat Solar Charging Kit w/ Digital Controller - 100 Watts - 5.43 Amp # 34272635 is expandable to multiple panels using the Go Power Retreat-E Expansion Kit - 100 Watts - 5.43 Amp # 34272634.

If you want more power, you may want to consider the The Go Power Overlander-E Expansion Kit # 34282182 which can add the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging Kit w/ Digital Controller # 34282181 to give you a larger system.

Either option can be expanded with more panels as desired. I've attached the installation instructions to assist and have also linked the page to all your options for kits with multiple panels to make it easy.
