  "summary": "Go Power's largest single-panel rooftop kit: a 190 W monocrystalline panel (marketed as '200 W') with a flush-mount 30 A digital PWM Bluetooth controller and all mounting hardware plus 50 ft of MC4 cable. Charges a 12 V battery for DC loads; no inverter.",
  "description": "The Overlander is Go Power's largest and most popular single-panel 12 V rooftop kit. The official datasheet rates the monocrystalline panel (PV-190-M, clear anodized aluminum frame) at 190 W and 9.45 A, though the current product page markets the kit as '200 watt' — this record uses the verbatim 190 W datasheet figure and flags the discrepancy. Full kits include a flush-mounted 30 A digital PWM solar controller with Bluetooth (GP-PWM-30-UL), all mounting hardware, and 50 ft of MC4 quick-connect cable. Go Power states the battery will power lights, fans, and other DC appliances — there is no inverter, so it is not an AC power source on its own. The panel carries a 25-year limited power-output warranty; the controller a 5-year warranty.",
