Those panels will look good on my MH. Thanks buddy! I assume you'll do the installation too? :B

Mena was thinking of a pair of 150s to go with the fancy expensive controller he already bought in a fit of madness :) You guys should PM if the haggle price would tempt him. (He is easily tempted but under the thumb of his manager, he keeps saying :) )

Temptations are futile! :B You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

BFL, I might get those Renogy 100W poly's. They're narrow and I might be able to get 4 of those on the roof.

GC-2's someday in my future, I suppose. Maybe real stuff, Trojan T-105s.

Some people say there is no difference with T105's and other GC's but my batts are EASY to get to 100%. Low 15's for a couple hours and they're full.

And that right there confirms why you want that Mega Watt adjustability... tune it to low 15's for 100%, and then back it off to low 13's for maintenance charging voltages. It also confirms why folks like certain Trojan model batteries, if they are going to spend the money. At some point, I will be done with the free battery T-1275 experiments and move on to T-105s. In the mean time, it's fun, I am learning a lot, and the price was right.

Let's just say that my cell could have been labeled as a Renogy 100w.
