This all-inclusive kit supplies economical power anywhere the sun shines. The solar panels utilize amorphous solar cells capable of producing power in cloudy, low-light conditions and in temperatures down to -40°F. If you need more power, simply hook up additional panels (up to 10). It makes a great addition to an RV or a home as an extra source of power. Kit includes everything you need for easy installation. Can be used to charge a 12-volt battery (sold separately). Built-in blocking diode protects against battery discharge at night. Kit includes PVC mounting frame, 7-amp charge controller, 200-watt inverter and all wiring and connecting cable. Maximum power output of 60 watts or 4 amps in ideal conditions. Manufacturer’s five-year warranty. Total weight: 55 lbs. Each panel measures: 36" x 12".
I'm pretty impressed, although the only downsides are the mount(pvc), kinda light duty, and you're only getting a 60watt system for the space that COULD provide 200watts from other high-end brands...... that out of the way...
The upsides: This system comes with EVERYTHING but a battery, (see Cabelas group 27 AGM deep cycle batteries, that's what I use), you get the 200watt inverter, all the wiring to hook everything up, controller so you don't overcharge, mount, and Panels!!! It's absolutely perfect for starting out in a solar back up system, and for the money it's comparible to those high-end brands I was talking about. You would pay just over $1,000 for a 200watt panel, and that comes with none of the extras mentioned. So, if space isn't an issue, this is a bargain!!! I just bought my second, and plan to order at least one more.
Good Job Cabela's for expanding into the future of alternative energy!
