I like it. I went to pick one up at our local store but they were out. I would buy a charge controller somewhere else though. I looked at theirs and they where not much account.

Heres the skinny on the panels, always compare the price per watt the harbor panel is 159.99 / 25 = $6.4 a watt this is high. Look here http://www.advancepower.net/solarpan.htm the API panels are a good panel and the price is 3.75 watt this is a way better price. True you will have to have them shipped but you can also pick up a good charge controller at the same time and some usefull information.

Everybody out there that is putting in a generator should look into installing a inverter that will allow them to charge batteries and at least go silent for as long as possible.

If you have the grid the new sytems; the hybrids are grid tie solar systems with autotransfer battery back up, and most of the states will give you a rebate and uncle sam will let you take 30% off your taxes.

P.S. I travel

Looks like the price of something in this world is dropping. While reading the old threads, I checked the link and still good but price dropped to $2.05/watt. I haven't done much comparison yet.
