We needed a solar panel system for our Ford Van conversion and this kit had everything needed for a flawless install on top of the roof basket. It will run the TV, water pump, radio and chargers and keep the deep cycle battery in tip top shape.

I bought this system almost 4 years ago. Half of the year I live off grid. I use it to power my 22 ft travel trailer. I have never had a problem keeping my battery charged.

I bought the 100 watt kit, it came with the panel cables, battery cables, brackets, hardware, and the panel itself. like others have mentioned, the box it comes in is flimsy, but mine showed up without any damage. I am impressed with the value, and with the instructions that came with both the panel, and pwm charge controller. the charge controller it comes with is actually pretty nice. it has aluminum heat sinking on the back of it and isn’t one of the generic cheap pwm controllers that break the first time you try to hook up.
when i buy more panels, i will be buying more of this kit vs. the bare panels because these come with such high quality accessories.

NICE PRODUCT WITH DECENT AMOUNT OF WIRE, ENOUGH FOR MY PROJECT ANYWAYS BUT IT SHOWS Z BRACKETS FOR INSTALL, NOTHING LIKE WHAT IT SHOWED FOR BRACKETS, HAD TO USE THE BRACKETS THEY SENT BUT HAD TO MODIFY AND MAKE MY OWN HOLES FOR IT TO MOUNT

We put 12 volt rv lights in our cabin. Run them off a rv battery. This keeps it charged. Easy to install. So far it works great.

I bought this kit to strap to the roof of my excursion, which has about a dozen lights that drain the battery every time you open a door, and consequently will kill my battery if left unchecked. This setup isn’t ideal for a smaller vehicle – a flexible panel would be better suited, but my roof rack has plenty of room for the full-size panel. I bought the ‘RV kit’ with plastic corner pieces that mount to your application, and they would indeed work well on a larger RV roof.
You won’t get amazing performance from a single 100w panel, but even on cloudy days it’ll hit 13+ volts with what amounts to a trickle charge, which is more than enough to keep my battery healthy. The actual installation wiill depend on your application, but you can’t really get it wrong – the plugs and included wires are black and red, and everything just plugs into the voltage regulator. You’ll need to route these wires to your battery somehow, and honestly, the included battery leeds are fairly long but you might need to get longer cables because they’re not really long enough to get creative with your wiring. But since it’s a low-voltage DC system, any decent copper wire bigger than like 10 guage should be enough to work.
YMMV but this little kit is simple and spare, there’s not a bunch of extra crap to worry about – you just mount the panel and plug everything in. Depending on your needs, it won’t take long to get it all working. A single panel is not enough to run a large power inverter, but these panels are basically infinitly expandable with the right wiring, so once you have the 20A regulator, you can add like 6 panels without needed to upgrade. good luck, and may you have sunny skies out there!
