Your web addresses only show the panels which look fine but don't include a description of the controller. Those prices are kind of high. You should be able to get solar panels, name brand controller, and misc hardware for around $2.50/watt. I have 265 watt solar with a morningstar prostar controller and all hardware for right at $500.
A good controller (true PWM with 4 stage charging) is key to getting all of the available power out of the 12volt panels and keep your batteries in good shape.
isnt specific about controller but if the quality of the other stuff is bad then so might the controller be. i have no idea if this stuff is junk or not...
