Does Installing Go Power Expansion Solar Panel Require Adding Additional Fuse
Updated 11/17/2025 | Published 12/01/2024
Question:
I currently have one of these panel on the roof of my new RV and Id like to add a second. I know my charge controller is large enough. The question is: will I have to add inline fuses to each of the panels if I wire them in parallel? I can not fined the maximum series fuse rating or the short circuit amp rating for these panels so I can do the calculation myself. My gut is tell me that fuses are needed but I like to have the specs to verify my hunch. Thanks, Chris

Hey Chris, while normally you would need to consider adding a fuse or changing fuse size when adding a panel the Go Power Overlander Expansion part # 34282182 comes with everything needed and does not require an additional fuse be used.
