Kelly,

That is an interesting package. How/where did you run your cables to the battery? Does it charge ALL of your batteries at the same time (house, engine, generator)?

I have a Renogy 100W that works great. With the small amount of power our coaches use (no electronics) I've found the one panel keeps me off grid with batteries charged for over a week.

What I want is a flexible panel, and I want to mount it to the storage pod. The Renogy lives in the pod and I set it up each time. It's too heavy to mount to the pod without reinforcement.

So, I guess I'd advocate going a little more in $$ and get something super easy to attach to the roof. Also, look for monocrystaline, they give you more watts for your area

what I have now, I had to buy additional 20' cables. Very high reviews, mine is 2 years old and even kept my new SOB charged up with only 1/2 a day of light for over a week (once I removed the LP solenoid valve that was a 1amp draw all the time)
For $153 this is a great deal and well tested.
