RV wired for Go Power Solar/Can use other brands?

A camper we like is pre-wired for Go Power brand solar. That brand is more expensive than others.
Can we use another brand? If so, what is the best value for the money?

I'm pretty new to this myself, but we just got one "pre-wired for 30 Amps of Go Power solar". There was a pair of (what I now know are) MC4 connectors in a bracket on the roof, this is the most common type of connectors on solar panels. I bought four Renogy panels off Amazon and they plugged right in.

Finding the OTHER end of the wire meant taking a panel off in the passthru compartment, then buying a MPPT solar charger (I got this one because I already had a battery meter and power management controller by the same company), got it all hooked up and working fine!
