FYI Basic Solar Kit from Costco

[Jersey_Shore]

Seems like a good DIY deal with all you get.

4 100w polycrystalline panels, 2000w PSW inverter, and looks like a Xantrex Trace C35Amp controller.

IMHO Looks like a pretty good deal.

Costco usually vets their products pretty thoroughly before they buy. I've talked to HQ and the staff are not dummies. They impressed the heck out of me.

From the pictures, the charge controller looks like a Xantrex C35 35A, 12/24V PWM Charge Controller.

CLICKY TO COSTCO SOLAR PACKAGE

Looks like a good price. The only unknown is the solar charge controller.

I don't know much about Solar but, the Costco unit seems like a decent price (and hopefully better quality) than the Harbor Freight Solar Panel.

The inverter looks just like my 1000W Xantrex prowatt. The charge controller won't handle three modules in series but reading between the lines in the manual, it may be MPPT flavor.

Hi,

There are not many details on the charge controller. I'd probably forgo the inverter and use a different controller.

I like the panels.
