Opinion on solar panel kit wanted
I received a notice of this solar panel kit. It seemed like a good deal here in the northeast. 300 watts for $500 including S&H.
All opinions welcome.

- Hi RJ,
It is under $2 per watt. Please show us your source for $1 per watt with hardware, controller and wire?RJsfishin wrote:

- Hi tenbear,
Looks good to me. I'd probably upgrade the controller to something that allows a temperature probe on the battery.
If you have a good roof location with zero shading I'd consider using mppt technology and wiring in series--of course this costs more. - At more that $1.00 per watt, seems awfully expensive. Also, you might want to upgrade the controller to 30amp in case you ever want larger panels.
