Question:
I have a GP 160 watt panel on the trailer. Can I add a 190 watt panel in parallel to expand the system?

Expert Reply:
Yes it is very possible to expand the solar capabilities of your system with the Go Power Overlander Expansion Kit - 190 Watt Solar Panel part # 34282182 as long as your solar controller is rated for the input. With your 160 watt panels you get about 8.68 amp hours from it with a 190 you will get about 10.3 amp hours for a total of both panels at about 18.98 amp hours. Look on your solar controller and as long as it is rated for 20 amps or higher it will work out perfectly for you.
