  "description": "The Go Power! DuraLite 100-Watt kit is a lightweight (~10 lb) folding portable starter kit built around a 100 W monocrystalline panel with rigid plastic handles, magnetic closures, and kickstand legs. It ships with a 30 A digital PWM lithium-capable controller (GP-PWM-30-DL), cables, battery clamps, ring terminals, quick connectors, an SAE solar plug adapter, and a canvas kit bag — everything needed to charge a 12 V battery. Go Power positions it for tent trailers, camper vans, and RVs with minimal storage. The panel carries a 2-year warranty on this datasheet (the controller carries a separate 5-year warranty). It is a charging kit only: no inverter, no battery.",
