Can An Acopower Solar Panel Be Connected To A Go Power Solar System
Question:
I have a 190w fixed panel on the roof of my 2022 e-pro19bh and I want to add a 12 w Acopower panel that I already own. Id like to run it through the connection on the roof so it will go through the GoPower controller. What connectors will be required to accomplish this?

Expert Reply:
Go Power uses MC4 connectors like part # 34279532 for their solar panel connections. You would not be able to mix your two panels together and run them through the Go Power Solar Controller. You would need to use additional Go Power branded panels like the # 34282181 to add on to your solar power system.
The Acopower panel can still be ran to your battery separately though if that's what you're wanting to do. You would just need to drill a new hole in the run and run the wire from the panel to your battery. I recommend using some self-leveling sealant # AL98KV on any holes you make in the roof of your trailer.
