Does anybody know which make/model these solar panels are?

I know I can call/write Jayco. Which I will do if unsuccessful here, just figured someone had already done this before me.

Thanks in advance.

You obviously know a lot more than I do about solar. We had our dealer install the Go-Power system on our Pinnacle with the 2 panels. I don't understand the controller very well, but I do know it does its job as it keeps our batteries fully charged when traveling, and we have a residential refrigerator running 24/7. I can watch the Battery voltage on the BMPRO app changes from typically 12.7-13.5V as we drive.

The solar panels I have seen have stickers on the back.

Take your cell phone and turn on the movie and slide it back and forth under the panel to see if you can pick up the info you want.
Alternatively, make a video call to spouses phone and slide yours under there while watching the picture. That's how I found my brake controller cable on my jeep L 2021 which was hidden beyond reason.

It does need to be the same voltage, in this case 12v, though. I have a couple 100 watt Renogy panels i might add.

That's a neat trick.
