Question:
Can I expand this kit later if I decide to add a second battery or more solar?

Great question George, the Rich Solar 100w panel kit # RS27VR has a controller rated for 20A which is about double what the 100w panel needs, so you can add another 100w panel for a total of 200w and still use the included controller without an issue.
One customer, Aaron in Georgia, started with the # RS27VR on his tear trailer and added a second 100W panel the following year when he installed a 12V fridge and upgraded to two 100Ah AGMs. If you decide to go this route, you can use # RS77VR along with splitter adapter # RS64VR and you can have double the watts/amps.

Hey George, did you decide to expand your solar kit with an additional panel or battery? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could really help others considering a similar setup!
