  "summary": "Go Power's most space-efficient rooftop panel: a 100 W monocrystalline panel with a flush-mount 30 A digital PWM Bluetooth controller, all mounting hardware, and 50 ft of MC4 cable. Charges a 12 V battery for DC loads; no inverter.",
  "description": "The Retreat is Go Power's most efficient rooftop panel by area — 100 W and 5.43 A from the smallest footprint in the Overlander/Retreat/Slim family. The monocrystalline panel (PV-100-M, clear anodized aluminum frame) ships in a full kit with the flush-mounted 30 A digital PWM Bluetooth controller (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. The panel carries a 25-year limited power-output warranty; the controller a 5-year warranty. Specs here come from the shared official Overlander/Retreat/Slim datasheet, which Go Power publishes as the kit's canonical spec document.",
