Easy to install. Everything working with good output even during our WV winter.

This set comes with less than optimal wiring. You’ll have to buy 2 sets of MMMF+ FFFM connectors then the 2to1 connector to see anywhere near 800Watts. This kit is also upgradable which was a huge selling point for us.

The system has been installed a few months now. So far it has functioned perfectly. I have been surprised at the systems output on overcast days which we get a few of in southern Indiana. Installation was pretty straight forward though the kit was not complete for my 12 volt application. A combiner box was added by the panels with additional wiring and connectors to bring paired solar panel wires to the combiner box. Two wires went from the combiner box to the charger controller. The charger controller was connected to the existing 432 amp hour battery bank through 60 amp fuses. The combiner box is wired with lightning protection and breakers for the solar panels with a 60 amp breaker for the feed to the charge controller. The Rover Charger Controller, installed in a closet, has worked flawlessly since the day it was installed. The Rover screen gives vital information to the performance of the system could use illumination to make readings easier.

This system is a really good choice for a beginner off grid setup. This is the second time I’ve used this exact setup and both instances are working very well. First was in an RV, second for a battery system here in my workshop. Again, very happy!

I’ve been using this for a month now, easy to install, does a good job for the cabin I’m building here in the mountains of NM.

I really like the simplicity of this kit. It had almost everything I needed to get started and took me about 5 hours to get it up and running. My wife and I have been living in a Skoolie for about a month now and this system has been able to keep our fridge running 24/7, water pump, lights, fans, and even the air conditioning on occasion. We paired the solar kit with two 250AH LI batteries and a 3000W pure sine inverter that runs 24/7. We had to shift the location of the mounting brackets just a bit to help the panels fit the curvature of our bus roof and in addition to screwing and caulking, I also zip tapped the brackets down (which is like the super glue version of tape, so I hope I never have to take one out).
Since installing the whole system our batteries have not dipped below 50%, even with several days of cloudy skies in a row. We haven’t driven much since installing the system but I can attest that up to 70mph there is no wind noise from the roof.
Couple things that I wish were included/different. If you want your system to run in parallel (which I HIGHLY recommend, especially if your system is going to be mobile like ours is), you’ll need to buy about 6 additional sets of MC4 connectors, some extra cable, and a larger fuse (ours blew the moment we changed it to parallel because the amperage is much higher in parallel). The directions were also a bit vague, (well… there weren’t any) and I had to search the web on how to hook everything up right.
Other than those few qualms the system runs amazing, looks good, and I believe will last us a long time. Very pleased with it!

I got this for an “emergency power” supply for my home. I’m new to this field, but had no problems setting it up. Looks like quality components that I expect to last a long time.

Plug and play. I upgraded as I went. 400 watts solar charging 3 agm batteries with rover 40 amp controller for 3 years and counting. Expecting 10 yrs. Don’t let batteries drop below 12.5 volts will last long time

Home Depot was awful to work with. I did not receive all items, it was set up for a company to pick up items never showed. Terrible customer service. I will tell everyone I know about the horrible service we had.
