Realistically you are going to want to use a Generator # CH44FR to power your 2020 Shadow horse trailer. Even our largest solar kits like the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System # 342-75011 is only capable of putting out a maximum of 1,140watts of power. Your air conditioner will typically pull 1,300+ watts while it is running which is going to well exceed the power created by solar panels.
