Great starter-kit

Customer Rating:
The product does what it said it does. Measured the voltage on a sunny day on a single panel and it put out about 20VDC. You could imagine what four of the panels can collect. The panel is now on the roof of the house collecting some sun for the battery. Even through the rainy weather it still collects whatever it can, so far so good. As a precaution of the wiring on the connectors I bound the two with wire tape to keep the water out and so far it works. I will go check the wiring later in the months and see if the wires are affected by rainy weather. Although, the inverter is a modified sine and putting out about 200 watts. The fan is a bit noisy, for the moment I don't mind it. The inverter is outside of the house and I'm inside. I have done some additional test to on the inverter, and the hertz is not stable and it does fluctuate a lot. I don't know how bad this is, but I have read some articles that fluctuating hertz can harm any devices that need constant hertz. (normally I get about 40hz - 45hz, and not the usual 60hz from an outlet)

Great for the money

I love it! easy to install with all plug-in wiring, PVC frame and charged during a snow storm! Obviously, not at full streength, but no amorphous solar panel do not charge in over cast skies.

I use them to run my RV as I live off the grid. I live in 2 buses and an RV and this is a nice start.

I like it so much I ordered a second one!

Came intact

I bought this as a gift. Due to the past reviews I was worried that it would arrive broken. IT DID NOT! It was still shipped by Fed Ex as of 12/2009 and arrived in one piece. none of the panels were broken. Since it was a gift (and it's the dead of winter) it hasn't been set up yet so I don't know the final outcome hence only 4 stars. But if you are on the fence due to shipping worries - don't fret!

ok but spend a little extra for something with higher voltage

Everthig came fast and in good condition. It is easy to set up but I would rather pay a little higher electric bill than use this to charge my phone and bluetooth. Anything more the box starts to screem. I purchased a 400 watt converter and the same thing happens when I plug in anything stronger than my telephone and bluetooth. if anyone has any recomendations please post, because so far I have found this solar panel kit pretty useless. I plugged a small coffee pot in and the box starts to scream. I read almost all the posts here before I purchased this thing and thought it would be useful. So far useless. Please post if anyone has any recommendations. I will be more than willing to repost a better review if it is something I did wrong or misunderstood. All the best.........

excellant
