Go Power! Retreat 100W Solar Kit with 30-amp Solar Controller

I have not used the panel long enough to make a better choice, so far so good, everything works as stated

I purchased this product and had it shipped with the idea of installing it before an upcoming vacation. Unfortunately, I received the package and found that the accessory kit ( regulator, brackets, wire, instructions, etc. ) was missing from the box. All I got in the box was the solar panel. I sent an email to the manufacturer and was sent the missing parts in just a few days. I was very impressed with the customer service I received from the manufactured and their prompt shipment of my missing parts. Amazon wanted me to send the item back and they would ship me a new one. That didn't fit into my time frame of installing before my vacation.On the companies website [...] there's a video for how to install a similar solar panel. I installed the Go Power 95 Solar Panel Kit based off this video. Installation was easy and mine installed much like the video. The only difference was having to buy screws for a rubber roof and Dicor sealant for the roof. I found the Dicor at a local Camping World. The kit comes with screws for a fiberglass roof but not for a rubber roof. After installation it was late in the day with heavy overcast, I was getting .6 amps. This was installed on a 26' travel trailer with dual batteries. I had no problems installing the solar panel and was able to connect the wires to my fuse box instead of running the wires all the way to the batteries. It would have been almost impossible to neatly run a wire from the panel to my batteries directly.The next morning was sunny and I was pulling in 5.5 amps as advertised. I'm confident this solar panel will perform as expected for many years to come. My main reason for purchasing the panel is to keep the batteries charged as it sits in storage. Also to provide adequate battery charging when camping without power for a few days.There are cheaper options on the market. I purchsed this one because I liked the clean look of the regulator and how it was made to go inside the RV. The small size of a 95 watt solar panel was also a plus. The regulator is easy to use and easy to read. I also appreciate that the cable included is UV protected and waterproof connections coming from it to the included cable.

Easy installation! I watched a couple of youtube videos and was able to install this on my 18' travel trailer with no prior experience. I did my fair share of research about how to properly wire up the battery, but otherwise my wife and I installed this in about 3.5 hours. It would have been less if we hadn't second guessed ourselves on a few tasks like mounting on the roof since we have an ultra light trailer.The charge controller really helped us out since we can now have an idea of how much remaining charge is in the battery, amps drawn while charging and it gives the voltage of the battery. In full sun our panel regularly will provide 5.5 - 6 amps...on cloudy days it's between 0.5 - 3 amps depending on the situation. When camping in full sun our battery is usually charged by the time I wake up in the morning. We have now had this for almost a year and a half and it has worked flawlessly. Highly recommended.Note: I did have to purchase some additional cable to route it to where the battery is located on our trailer, which was on the tongue. If you wired this up to your converter directly additional cable is probably not necessary

First I must say the quality is top notch. The installation is a breeze. The instructions are clear and complete. The panel is compact in size. Now for the best part... I just completed a 2 week vacation (June/July) across the western states and I was confident I would have power to spare when dry camping and this system did not let me down. On clear days the panel was providing a charge from about 7am to 6pm. The unit is rated to provide 5.45 amps but from 10am to 4pm I was easily getting 5.7 to 5.8 amps - more than its rated current. Even better now... on completely overcast days it was still providing from 1 to 2 amps of current. You can't go wrong with this system. The charger looks great, is of high quality and provides all the information you'll need. The wire is of high quality as well. There are cheaper systems but they are not worth it. This system delivers on its claims and then some, you'll not find that with cheaper systems. Beware when buying lesser quality solar systems.

I'm impressed. We're at the coast as I write and it's foggy. The panel is putting out .1 amp. I think it's great considering there is NO sun. The other day we used the crok pot to prepare our dinner. It ran all day and the battery stayed charged. I might add one more panel in the future.I found out that you need to watch where you park. We had to relocate the motorhome after parking where lots of birds rested in the tree. What a mess. The panel was easy to clean by following the instructions.

Still new, but so far I love it. I have it mounted on a 2015 Thor Four Winds, install was fairly easy, it came with everything you need (less tools), the only thing I would remind people of is you need to be careful of + - and where they go. I have two 12volt batteries and they seem to be charging well.

Relatively easy to install in my Jayco Octane trailer because it was solar power ready for Go power kit. Works great!

I got my go power 95 with the solar kit and regulator/charger in less than 2 days from Amazon. Perfect condition. I followed the directions and it started working immediately, 4.7 amps in the 5pm sun. I will check back in in a month for update. So far its Great!!

Great product. Bought three. Price tripled the day after I bought them and has since dropped to half of what I paid.Disappointing.

Looks like a good product. Havent had a chance to use it. Only issue i have is it came with a different controller then the one that is shown.
