Panels
Qty W Year Dollars
2 x 180 - 2010 - $600 (36"x20")
1 x 300 - 2012 - $275 (60"x36") Largest one
1 x 280 - 2013 - $200 (56"x36")
As you see, I purchase my panels over a 3 year period. My last panel purchase was on Craig List (Phoenix area) was a BP. IMO, the maker was not a deciding factor. Voltage was. I stayed with a 5% tolerance on the panels. I still made add another as I still have the real-estate.
My plan was, plan for the future. We dry camp alot and we installed a residential refrig. Running the generator is very low. Even on Cloudy days I can get 15 to 25 amps.
