This is the best solar panel kit I ever saw. It includes everything for what I need to build a complete battery charging system. I hook up it to my RV battery by using the provided cable with clamps in less than 2 minutes!!! It starts to charge my battery immediately! It allows me to use the free energy from sunlight immediately :-) Awesome! Thank you!!

I received the panel quickly, it seems to work as advertised, and I have found no defects. It appears to be a solid panel, not too heavy, but rugged. The cables and blocking diode are higher quality than I expected. I will likely buy more.

I just wanted something that could be used as a trickle charger while my trailer is stored for the winter and something to keep the battery charged while out camping. This product did the job and I am very pleased with it.

I first used solar power when we were cruising the Pacific on our 32-foot sailboat in 1981. We had two, 33-watt panels that (along with one home-built wind generator with a hand-carved propeller) kept us in refrigeration, lights and ham radio for the next 5 years. Now we have a little 21-foot RV trailer and the first thing I did was buy two of these units. So far they've been good enough to keep our deep-cycle battery charged for up to a week of camping at a time. It helps to be able to aim them right at the sun throughout the day; otherwise the power drops off dramatically. Don't let anything shade them! I just wish that the price would drop further so we could do our house. I don't use a regulator but periodically measure the voltage at the battery. If it gets to 14.5VDC I disconnect the panels.
