Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we are looking at the extension cable for your Go Power solar panel kits here at etrailer. Right here, I have the 12 foot extension cable which comes with our go power portable panel kits. And as you can see, it's kind of on the short side it does get the job done. But if you need a little extra length I highly recommend taking up the 30 foot expansion cable. That way you get to park in the shade and have your solar panels out, working for you in the sun.
I unrolled the extension cable just to see how far it actually goes. And as you can see, the 30 feet was able to cover about 3 and a half parking spots. This is what the 30 foot long cable looks like. You can also add this to your extension that's already with your kit, which is 12 feet long creating a total of 42 feet added to your solar panel system. The extension cable itself is nice, strong, durable but also flexible, which I like 'cause I have it rolled up in my storage all the time but still maintains its shape as well as its durability.
Now this, when used with the Go Power portable system we'll be carrying up to 300 watts which is great because you are working within the capabilities of your cable. The extension cable is special in that it has a cap on the end, the extension cable that comes with your kit does not have that cap. And you can use this, just take that cap off and plug it, positive to positive, negative to negative right into your cable to power your system. In terms of storage, you're going to get this hook and loop strap that goes around your keyboards. You have it folded up.
That makes for a nice, neat look and keeps it all organized. The extension cable comes in this nice heavy duty plastic case that secures at the top. I do like the case because that way I can store it inside my camper for when I need it. And I don't have to worry about it. My final thoughts about the extension cable is I do like how it gives me more options as to where I'm setting up my solar panel system.
I don't have to worry about sticking close to my camper. And if I want to park out in the shade and have the panels out in the sun, this really helps with that. I highly recommend picking it up just in case that way you're not short when the situation calls for it. And that was a look here at the extension cable for your Go Power solar panel kits here at etrailer..

This 30' extension cable lets you park your RV in the shade and position your solar panels in the sun for maximum charge. Uses SB50 Anderson-style connectors.
Purchased in May 2021... finally finished my build-out Sept'22 DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Unpacking the cables:a wire was never connected to the connector yet a sticker for quality control was adhered to the part! The leads on the wires going into the various connectors have 1/8-3/16ths of an inch exposure to insert into the connectors. The wires are NOT sodered into the connectors! My first day of use, another wire from a different connector came apart! Realize, that these are portable panels... you will be moving them around and with the non existent quality control you are getting an inferior product. Notice in the photo that this wire was enclosed in factory direct heat shrink which should strengthen and support the connection. I will NEVER buy GO POWER products again!... and I question a company that would sell this quality of products.
This cable worked as described with three connection options available. We used it to enhance our go power Solar system in our Lance trailer via a solar on the side port and a go power portable solar panel through a week of rainy weather in the Tetons. Thanks to Lance for being a brand that did have the port connected to our battery system and thanks to etrailer for fast and helpful service. When a delivery issue because of our off the main drag address occurred, etrailer was very supportive and offered assistance even though they weren’t responsible. I will make etrailer our first choice source for future travel needs.
Everything came that I needed to plug in and receive electrical charge to my trailer. It's a bit heavy for me,70 female, but it's manageable. I wish the cost was less, yet it's a great piece of mind to know I can charge up my batteries as needed. I also like the display telling me how much is charged. I'm looking forward to seeing how long it lasts.
A must need in the PNW camping in the trees - allows you to follow the sun. Connectors are a snug fit and hefty but flexible cord.
When camping in shady spots this extension gets your unit into the sun.
This extension cable has made it possible to camp in the shade while allowing my 90 watt Go Power portable solar panel to sit easily in the sun. My access port on my travel trailer is not always in the best position (I like to park facing east so the afternoon sun doesn't drill into my trailer heating it up) to use the standard 12 ft cable that came with the panel kit. Literally, a snap to put together.
I ordered the 30' extension cable for additional reach in placing the solar panels. The 12' cable that came with the solar panel kit doesn't get you very far from your RV to find a clearing with optimal solar exposure. I like how all the components of GoPower solar kit mate together so well. They appear to be built from high quality materials.
Good product, easy website. Was disappointed with the fact that website advised product was in stock, then it took a full week for it to ship. That said, it did get here and the Co. communicated with mw well on ship date, etc.
Works great, fit and installation were easy.
Used our portable solar panels for the 1st time 2 weeks ago.
Ease of set up and having the trailer pre wired for solar makes it very easy to use.
Panels keep the house battery topped off thru out the day.
Cable is well made and definitely heavy duty. I returned the cable without using it as I returned the Go Power solar panel also. See that item for my 4 star review...
Gopower Solar panels and extension worked like a charm on my 3 week stY in the Mojave Desert. (In April and May, not July).
Heavy cable good connectors.
Excellent extension-------and very useful for those with portable solar....
Very good product and easy to assemble.
Provides secure connection between cables. Good length for chasing the sun and frequent repositioning of solar panels.
This extension gives you plenty of leeway to position your panels wherever the sun is expected to shine. Works great!
I a only give it an average rating because the connectors were on it correct. Because of a defective part on the solar panel (that has never been replaced in almost a year) I was going to use it with, I haven’t been able to use it.
David - 03/24/2022An overlooked aspect of RV ownership, update these on a regular basis.
Haven't tried it yet. Service for ordering was great.
We used the solar panel 5 times
and the controller doesn't work. Still waiting for replacement going on 2nd week.
As always, etrailer had what I was looking for. And once again it was at my house before the promised delivery date. Thank you George and all
The 30' extension cord is 10 guage, of very high quality. It arrived on time in excellent packaging.
I continue to be impressed by the people at etrailer. The customer service is in fact, customer care. I mistakenly listed my PO box as the shipping address. Michelle at etrailer caught it and called me to correct my error in less than 24 hours. In this time of national emergency, when our personal lives are so chaotic and uncertain, I am impressed that they continue to demonstrate their very high level of customer care. I am a customer for life.
John T - 03/26/2021Worked as advertised
Fantastic 130 w portable solar kits. We use these to run our cpap machines in our camper. Well made, easy to set up and fast to charge 2 group 27 batteries. We bought the extension cords so we can place the panels where we need them.
