Don't pay $400!!!
This guy sells 150w panels for $162 tax included and delivers to the Mainland. You need a controller so that could be $39 for a 20amp.

There is another guy in Langley somewhere with similar prices on craigslist usually.
You will expand your array, so you need more controller amps depending how big the array will be in "expected amps" A 30a controller is about $130. I use two 20 amp controllers at total cost of 39 x 2 but there are several ways to go on that. Takes a bit of figuring out. Best thing is get a 'starter" controller for under $50 till your have a real plan.
