We have several options of solar panels to keep your 2021 Jayco Pinnacle's battery charged.

If you're only looking to give your DC battery a little help, then I recommend the Go Power Portable 90-Watt, part # 34282729. The great thing about this one and the other portable options is the fact that they don't have to be mounted to the top of your RV, so you can park in the shade and use the extension cord to still get that charge. I've linked to a video review of this line.

If you're wanting to provide your battery with more power to help you stay off the grid for longer, then the AE-4 System that you referenced, part # 342-75010, is the way to go. This system has the capability to combine with an inverter to provide some AC power as well. I've linked to a video review of this one as well.

If you want a panel that has that inverter already included, the Weekender, part # 34282183, gives you that option. After it's charged your DC battery, it will change output to AC to aid in powering your other appliances. As the name implies, this panel can help you get away for the weekend without needing to find additional sources of power. I've linked to a video review of this one, too.

Finally, if one weekend isn't enough, the Extreme System, part # 34282185, can help you stay off the grid for much, much longer. This is currently the largest kit from Go Power, providing more power than any other option we have from them. I've linked to a video review of this one also.
