Plug And Play Solar Panel Kit for Geo Pro Trailer With Solar On The Side

Updated 08/05/2025 | Published 07/24/2025

Question:

I have a Geo Pro trailer with a “solar on the side” port rated for 10 amps. Will this panel plug in and work safely?

That’s a great setup, Tanya. Yes, this 100W etrailer panel # E28VV includes an SAE cable that will plug directly into your Geo Pro’s “solar on the side” port. And since the panel delivers about 4.8 amps at peak, it’s well below the 10A limit of your port, so you're good to go.

One tip: make sure your side port runs directly to your battery not through another controller, as this panel has its own PWM controller built in. That avoids confusion between multiple controllers trying to manage the same charge.

Thanks! Is the panel easy to store when not in use? We’re tight on space in the trailer.

@Tanya Absolutely! The etrailer 100W panel folds up like a suitcase and comes with a built-in handle for easy carrying. It’s about 25" x 21" when folded, so it’ll fit in most pass-throughs or even under a bed. Super convenient for setups where space is at a premium.
