It was easy installed, the instructions could be clear, but I got it, panels are light weight. I hope they last in the elements .
So far they work fine.

I purchased this set for my camper van. I use it to run a set of small LED lights, phone chargers, a camper vent, and a mini fridge at this time. One caveat: I run everything on DC power, I do not use the inverter. I live in the pacific northwest and go camping year-round.
In the summer, this works amazing. With my setup, I cannot run the batteries out. During the day, they’re charging more than I can use them. When they’re fully charged, they’re not going to run out overnight with my setup. I leave my camper van fridge on all summer as a beverage fridge, even when I’m not camping.
In the winter, things are a little bit more dicey. If my batteries are fully charged, I can easily make it through a camping weekend, however, I do not use the vent fan in the winter. To get a full charge before I go, I need to have my fridge turned off for several days before I leave and only turn it on the morning before I go. The battery does wear down faster all weekend than it’s charging back up, but the full charge plus small amount of recharge can push me through for a weekend.
I do not believe this setup could work for someone living in a van full-time, unless you’re living somewhere very sunny. Even in the summer, additional things might start to get to the point of draining on the battery too much. I’m considering trying out a super low watt coffee maker next summer, but I’ll see what I can find.

Arrived in 3 packages on 3 separate days over course of 2 weeks (panels and controller ship together, but batteries and inverter separate). Must connect everything in parallel to get the inverter to work properly, so you are limited to 100W, 12V even though controller is 12/24V. Neither manuals nor vendor tutorials give little details on terminating cabling between controller, batteries, and inverter. If you don’t feel comfortable stripping cables, this may not be be right for you. Stripping the cable that came with the inverter was particularly troublesome. Also, only one end of the wires for the inverter were terminated so prep for a little bit of sparks/melting of the strands when you connect to the battery, unless you add your own ring terminators. No wiring came with batteries so I had to borrow/cut a couple pieces from end of the wiring that came with the solar panels, which is thick and difficult to lock in under the relatively tiny screws on the batteries. Emails to vendor for troubleshooting questions were answered within 24 hours. I wish I had done more homework so I wouldn’t have been surprised that a solar “kit” isn’t exactly plug & play. Once set up runs just fine and am happy with it so far. Disclaimer: I have never set up nor used one of these things before, which may have contributed to the difficulty during setup.

First off, I want to point out, this “kit” does not come in 1 huge box. (at least for me). It came in, across several days, 1 package a day for about a week. Cables were delivered by USPS, the inverter was delivered through FedEx and the solar panels were delivered by a 3rd party white-box delivery service. The charge controller was in the box with the solar panels.
My wife and I were able to set the entire thing up over a dedicated afternoon. It took about 3-4 hours to get everything installed. The batteries were at half charge when they arrived (which is expected). All in all, I was very happy not only with the product but also the ease of installation. There is a little electrical work involved (you will need to crimp the cables with connectors that come with the kit. Just use standard pliers to crimp it). I did have to cut the end off of the wires that came with the inverter as they didn’t fit into the charge controller (but you again just crimp the connectors to it that are included with the charge controller.). There are plenty of instructions for everything (charge controller, inverter and the panels all had manuals with good explanations and pictures of how everything connects). I would recommend it to anyone who asks about it.
Again, I just want to point out, everything came at different times throughout the week. The tracking info you get from amazon will only be for 1 of the boxes. Expect to receive 5 packages in total across different days.

This kit has worked out really well for my shed and the various projects I do out there. It provides enough power for me to charge tools, have lighting, run a raspberry pi and computer monitor. I was a little skeptical of the kit at first but after some testing everything seems to work fine.
I used four 6 watt led lights to test battery capacity. I charged the battery to a voltage of 14.1 volts (less than the 14.5 max but should be >95%) and discharged down to 11.2 volts (again, above minimum voltage but should get pretty close to full discharge). There is no state of charge documentation for the batteries (I even asked customer service) but I assume I was able to drain >90% of total battery capacity. With the four 6 watt leds, I was able to run continuously for nearly 18 hours. I probably could have squeezed more power out if I went to the extremes of capacity. Overall I think the batteries are good. Maybe someone will test with a shunt at some point.
The only down side for me are that the z-brackets are super sharp – I cut myself on them, so wear gloves.
If you buy this, consider upgrading the PWM to an MPPT.

Multiple items arrived separately but as expected. Solar panel, inverter, controller and cables worked fine, but Lithium battery never charged fully or held a charged over 11 volts. Which, I think, caused the inverter to stay in fault. I replaced the lithium battery with a lead acid one, inverter no longer in fault and working fine.

If you’ve never put up solar panels, connected to a controller, used an inverter and hooked up batteries. This is a good one to start with. Once you truly understand series and parallel you will be ready for bigger, better and cheaper systems.

Bought these for a friend he said they work very well
