Solar panel install?

I have given thought to an installation of a Go Power 160A system in the RV that claims to be Solar Ready. Any chance any of you have done this installation? Was it worth your time, or do you wish you had the dealer install it? And might I ask just what is "solar ready?" Thanks for your time.

Solar ready is usually a plug somewhere on the exterior of the trailer and will have max amperage on the cover. Most I have seen are 10A and the plugs are proprietary. If you install the Go Power system, it will connect directly to the battery(s) with a controller. If you want some help, fell free to PM me as I have installed lots of these systems.
