Mine arrived today. BIG sucker! And HEAVY, too, about
35 or 40 pounds, I'd guess!

Looks good. Came with a carrying case (prob nylon).
and a large shoulder strap that connects to the case.

Solar cells are on the outside of the folding "suitcase."
Automatic charge controller mounted inside the case,
as are individual modules from each panel. Also came
with a fairly heavy cable with "quick disconnect" plug
on one end and battery "alligator" clips on the other.

Haven't had a chance to do any testing yet.

Did "best offer" at $375 and it was accepted on 20 Jan
and item arrived today, 27 Jan.

Great value. I wish the panels folded the other way where the panel was inside not out when folded. You'll enjoy them. I added a quick disconnect on the other side of the wire. So when you disconnect them at the battery they can't short. I'm not going to end up using the charge controllers they come with but for $375 its a killer deal. That seller has a amazing price.
