My first attempt on solar power for my RV. Excellent price! Well built! Controller is entry level but still has three stage charging including float charge. Won't boil your battery dry. If you are going to permanently mount it, you should buy a disconnect switch, 30 amp fuse, and additional mc4 connectors and tool. Mount the controller as close as you can to your battery but not in the same compartment. Street lamp feature is great. Never thought of using it or knew this controller came with it, but after reading the manual I will be hooking it up to a outside security/night light. You can expand with more panels (up to 3 total I believe) with this controller. I would buy from this company again and probably will.

The monocrystalline 100w panel appears to be well constructed, and provided mounting hardware is good too. Installation on my toy hauler was a breeze. The controller is entry level, but has some nice features like backlit blue LCD screen, programmable load circuit control, and two USB ports. These are nice to have in a basic kit. Tray and charge cables are robust and high quality, however the charge control terminals are barely large enough to fit the 10 gauge cables into. I had to clip off a few strands of copper on a couple of them to fit them in. I see why they used 10 gauge though, for future addition of another panel. Be advised that if you do add panel(s), you'll need a higher amp rating controller. Be prepared to spend another $50 or so for fuses and holders (not included), and custom mounting hardware if needed for your specific application.Read full review

I purchased this kit to use on my 24' camper as I was going to be dry camping for 10 days. I upgraded my camper battery to a 27 series and purchased this kit. The kit came in a very timely manner with no damage on the packaging. The solar panel came in one box, which has foam inserted corners and I will use as storage for the panel when not in use. The wires and unit came in another box. All the wires are clearly labeled and putting it all together was a breeze - even for a single woman like me! I did not mount the panel, but rather had it setup against my trailer hitch, tied down so the wind wouldn't blow it over. I had to move it from the morning sun to the afternoon sun, but it's so lightweight it wasn't a problem at all. I will be building a frame/stand for it this winter to make it easier to move around. It kept my battery charged and we were able to run lights, water pump and appliance electronics without wearing down the battery below half. This is a great unit for the price and I highly recommend it!Read full review

This us a great little starter kit. First, you need to do your homework because there are no instructions for anything except the controller. I mounted this on my truck's fiberglass topper. You need to pay attention to the grounding locations on the panel and provide a ground wire and nut and bolt to them. Yes, you only need one, but I put in two. The cable connector diameter is 1/4", and connector diameter is 3/4", but once you put in one cable, you need more room to push through the 2nd 3/4" connector. I drilled a 1/4" hole next to the 3/4 hole to slide the cable out of the way. You will need grommets and sealant, or I used a marine through-hole connector. Sealed, of course. My truck cap is slightly curved - enough that if I had mounted the solar panel directly, it would have put a bending strain on it and possibly cracked in. I used 1/4" wood slices to make up the difference. I also bought rubber sheets (8"x 8") from Ace Hardware to place under the "feet" . The kit gives you everything you need except the 12v battery to which you connect. Please note that you connect the battery to the controller first. I use my truck in Search and Rescue support, as a radio relay. This solar panel will help greatly in not running down my battery. Surprisingly, the solar panel was putting out 12.43v when my truck was *inside* my garage. Yes, AZ is sunny but I was surprised.Read full review

Easy to install and seems well made, The charge controller has many screens to monitor the system. Generates some current on cloudy days to maintain battery. When in direct sunlight it puts out many amps. I installed the panel on the back side of my garage and it almost looks like a smoked glass window from the street. It includes a USB charging port (very nice for off grid use). It incorporates a 4 stage charger to extend battery life (charge, boost, float, and periodic timed over charge). It has modes for 4 battery types (flooded, sealed, gel, agm). Very nice product.
