While no I haven't used it, for the money its much easier to get a much higher end setup for a low cost still. High end 100w mono crystal panels, that come with charge controllers, are around $150 currently. Add wire and alligator clips, and a very inexpensive modified sine wave inverter and still be less then the cost with a smaller footprint.
