  2. The frame holes to mount the panels into were about 1/2″ to short for the panel holes. The frame should have been about 1/2″ taller.

  3. The product does what it said it does. Measured the voltage on a sunny day on a single panel and it put out about 20VDC. You could imagine what four of the panels can collect. The panel is now on the roof of the house collecting some sun for the battery. Even through the rainy weather it still collects whatever it can, so far so good. As a precaution of the wiring on the connectors I bound the two with wire tape to keep the water out and so far it works. I will go check the wiring later in the months and see if the wires are affected by rainy weather. Although, the inverter is a modified sine and putting out about 200 watts. The fan is a bit noisy, for the moment I don’t mind it. The inverter is outside of the house and I’m inside. I have done some additional test to on the inverter, and the hertz is not stable and it does fluctuate a lot. I don’t know how bad this is, but I have read some articles that fluctuating hertz can harm any devices that need constant hertz. (normally I get about 40hz – 45hz, and not the usual 60hz from an outlet)

  4. I love it! easy to install with all plug-in wiring, PVC frame and charged during a snow storm! Obviously, not at full streength, but no amorphous solar panel do not charge in over cast skies.

    I use them to run my RV as I live off the grid. I live in 2 buses and an RV and this is a nice start.

    I like it so much I ordered a second one!

  5. I bought this as a gift. Due to the past reviews I was worried that it would arrive broken. IT DID NOT! It was still shipped by Fed Ex as of 12/2009 and arrived in one piece. none of the panels were broken. Since it was a gift (and it’s the dead of winter) it hasn’t been set up yet so I don’t know the final outcome hence only 4 stars. But if you are on the fence due to shipping worries – don’t fret!
