Harbor Freight 100 Watt Solar Kit

Looking for input on Harbor Freights 100 watt solar kit. A question I have is each kit comes with a controller if you put two kits together could you get by with one controller?
  • Get a look at the "manual" that comes with the kit.
    Some panels and controllers are made to be "chained" with a single controller and some are not.

    Note: Since there are some losses involved, a 100 watt panel likely will produce only about .7 amps at 12 volts.

    EDIT: As several nice folks have pointed out, the above note is WAY off base. Please disregard.
