Topsolar Solar Panel Kit 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Off Grid System for Homes RV Boat + 30A 12V/24V Solar Charge Controller +Solar Cables + Z-Bracket for Mounting

Easy to set up and works great.

Has done exactly as wanted and expected!

Worked well keeping my battery topped off while using a diesel heater. Considering getting another one for a similar application.

This panel is used to recharge an RV deep cycle battery while stored and when dry camping in more remote areas. The monitoring device system and cables that come with the kit were attached, by me, to a Furrion 10 Amp connection device (not included in the kit). I use the panel and equipment as portable, not rooftop fixed, in order to gain/aim at the sun to land perpendicular on the panel itself throughout the day. Two problems encountered: 1. The black and red cables that insert in to the monitoring device will tend to fall out of the screw down clamps at times. I have to frequently check them to make sure that use and vibration do not loosen the cables. Two of the four clamps seem prone to loosening. Needed is the largest Phillips head screwdriver from a glasses repair kit to tighten these screws. 2. I had to re-solder the electrical connection points of the cables in the box on the back side of the solar panel. These fell (broke) off because the amount of solder used by the manufacturer (or its robot) was far too skimpy. I added much more silver-based electrical solder this time, clamping everything back down on the cover. It will never come loose again. Otherwise, the panel and the monitoring system has done the job of both recharging the battery, maintaining the battery and for day use. We camped at Big Bend National Park in west Texas (no hookups) and went six days with no power shortage whatsoever. We did the same at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (no hookups) on the LP of Michigan, as well as many remote UP campsites along Lake Superior (much lower sun angle there), and we still had no issues with electrical supply day or night. The system did the job, just what was needed for dry camping. Note: The panel performs more efficiently on colder days than on hot days.

As a budget starter kit this works great. Out of the box the solar panel and charge controller were easy to connect together. As every battery type is different, you made need additional hardware depending on what terminals are on yours. In my case, I have a lead acid car battery with half inch terminals. To connect them I used a pair of basic terminal busses. Other than the terminal busses which are specific to your battery, the kit contains all necessary cables and fittings to connect the components to each other and a battery. Once connected to the battery, the charge controller screen lights up. Then when the panel is connected and in sunlight the battery begins charging. Rooftop installation hardware is straight forward to install and seems quite durable. With an 800W inverter I purchased separately, I can now power my work shed off grid with this kit. I'm planning to buy a second one of these kits and expand both to 300W each, which will allow for backup home power during outages.

Bought 2 of these. 1 keeps the batteries on my rv charged up so I don't have an extension cord running from my house across my lawn and driveway. The second powers a diesel heater and charges the battery we have set up in the barn. We don't have electricity way out there so got this to try and it's worked amazingly well. It's easy to setup and move if need be. Cable length is nice and long.

Follow up: Feb 2nd Oklahoma full sun and I'm getting 105w from this with an mppt controller. Excellent panel. I already have a kit from HF that I paid to much for mostly because of the convenience. After seeing how it worked I purchased this set. One panel with the same power so it's way more convenient. And 30a controller vice the 10a I had. The literature says not for lithium battery but the controller has a setting for lithium, go figure. I'm using this with a diy portable solar generator that has a 100ah lifepo4 battery and 1000w pure sine wave inverter for a tertiary power backup. I still have to come up with a better stand for the panel but this was still the best value by far.

The panel itself works great. It holds up with wind and vibration and rain on the top of my van. However, as has been noted by others, the connections on the controller are faulty. And the controller is not for charging lifepo4 batteries. I replaced the controller with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D6Y9BJFH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3 and hard wired it in.

È stato utilizzato in una barca x tenere sempre in carica 2 batterie da 100 Amp. Ottimo prodotto, lo consiglio. P.s. prima collegare la centralina alle batterie ed infine al pannello.

RAS , produit qui respire la qualité Fonctionnement parfait, reste à régler le boîtier, ça c'est pas évident pour moi Si je voudrais acheter un panneau compatible, est-il possible d'avoir le référence SVP Merci de votre attention

Very simple to setup. Using for an off grid garage. Simple battery charging and lighting setup. I will probably invest more into the setup but for the time being it is great. Currently running led lights, usb chargers and a diesel heater without any problems.

Nachdem ich es leid war, die Autobatterie (45Ah) in meinem Gartenhaus, zum Aufladen immer nach Hause zu schleppen, dachte ich über eine kleine Inselanlage im Gartenhaus nach. Meine Ansprüche sind nicht groß. Handy laden, Licht, Radio mit Aktivboxen und den Akku meiner Heckenschere laden. Das ist es schon. Ich entschied mich für das beschriebene Set im Angebot von Amazon. Was soll ich sagen... mit etwas technischem Verständnis, sehr einfach zu installieren, funktioniert. Der Laderegler ist nicht bluetoothfähig, aber was will man bei dem Preis auch erwarten. Er tut was er soll. Hat auch noch einen USB Anschluss und Buchsen um eine Lampe anzuschließen. Für das Akkuladegerät für meine Heckenschere habe ich einen 400W/700W Konverter angeschlossen. Funktioniert, allerdings zieht der Konverter mit 70 Watt schon ordentlich Strom aus der 44Ah Batterie. Aber es klappt, wird auch nicht warm. Da ich nicht täglich im Garten bin und deshalb wenig Energieverbrauch habe, ist mein Speicher immer voll. Ich überlege zur Zeit, ob ich vielleicht noch einen Camperkühlschrank anschließen soll. Wer mehr Komfort benötigt, muss natürlich in anderen Kategorien denken. Für mich reicht die Anlage derzeit völlig aus. Mal sehen wie ich über den Winter komme. Dank Süd-Ausrichtung, habe ich den ganzen Tag, vorausgesetzt die Sonne scheint, volle Sonne. Auch bei bedecktem Himmel, zeigte mein Laderegler nie weniger als 13,5 Volt an.

Aparentemente es atractivo....pero no es realidad. No es lo que dicen del producto.
