Eco-Worthy 12v solar panels, Now drifting to... mono vs poly
When I search here, the only Ecoworthy results I get are for their controllers. Does anyone have any experience with their 12v panels?

Mr Wizard, you guys in california have it all! Legalized pot, great weather, cheap solar!!! Yes, I'm jealous! :)
Pianotuna, thanks for the advice, especially in regards to going temp compensated. (I have ordered a 12v digital temp meter for temp compensating charging voltages on the psu, but clearly that would not help the solar controller do its job best.)
Real estate is not really an issue for me, as I have a wide open space of about 6 1/2' x 9 1/2'; easily enough room for six 2' x 4' panels. But if I did roof mount, I would want it fully functional, with tilt and swivel capabilities that can be easily managed. And on one hand, roof mount would eliminate the extra needed storage space of portables, but otoh, it would limit my parking choices. So I think portable is the way for me to go, until such time a I conclude otherwise; at which time the portables can always become permanently mounted.
