Question:

We have the 100w GP66FR with the 12 ft. cord. we want to get the 30 ft. extension cord. How much voltage would we have using this extra cord?

The Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # GP66FR panel will still have a maximum voltage output of 19.6v. Because voltage can fluctuate slightly, I cannot say what the definite voltage output would be.

But what I can tell you is that the voltage drop using the 30' Extension Cable for Go Power Portable Solar Kit # 34270356 is not going to be enough to impact the # GP66FR. The # 34270356 uses #10 AWG wire, which is suited well for use with the # GP66FR to have a very marginal drop. You should not experience a significant amount of drop using this extension.
