Can Multiple Extension Cords Be Used With The Go Power Portable Solar Panel System
Question:
How many extension cables can you safely put together going from the panel to the batteries? I have the 30foot cord. Can I safely add 1 more 30? Two more?

Expert Reply:
You can add on more Extension Cables # 34270356 to your Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282730 without it being a safety hazard, but the longer the cords go the more voltage drop you'll experience. This means that you wouldn't be receiving a full output from your panels because the voltage is being used up traveling the length of the wire.
Go Power really only recommends using one extension.
