Question:
Does this come ready to use out of the box?
asked by: Nate
Expert Reply:
Yes pretty much; no tools or extra parts are needed aside from a Philips screw driver to install the cables. The etrailer 100W portable panel # E28VV arrives fully assembled with integrated legs, handles, and a zippered cable pouch.
It includes MC4 connectors, ring terminals, and an SAE adapter for solar prepped trailers. Just unfold it, plug in your cable of choice depending on your application, and you’re ready to harvest free energy!
Just curious, what are you trying to power off your battery bank, and which batteries are you using? This 100w kit should be good for your smaller trailer, but if you have a lot of appliances you want to run, we may need to look into a higher wattage kit.
