 thank you sunforce and amazon August 30, 2010
dan b
i am really pleased with the service i have received with amazon and sunforce. i have owned 22 solar panels made by 3 different manufacturers. i like and endorse sunforce panels over any of the others i have owned. reasons that i say this are i feel like the design and craftsmanship that they are a man's project and not a kids toy. i have had 4 sunforce panels in operation for 18 months with no problems and simple maintenance, just an occasionally cleaning and in the past year have added 6 more.
A Great Solar Panel August 18, 2010

Great working.
Some people have commented that they received the charge controller with their panel but I did not. It must be a luck thing if you do receive one.
I have written a blog post about my setup:

I also built a little mount for the panel out of some random 2x4s. The pictures should be in the "picture" area.
Works well for boondocking RV, even with cracked frame July 25, 2010

I installed one of these units, with the Sunforce charge controller, flat on the roof of our RV travel trailer (dual RV batteries). It is now 1 year old and has a couple of cracks in the plastic frame, but still seems to be working fine. Before installing it we could go 4 days before needing to charge the RV batteries in remote forest camping -- this panel adds 1 additional day. (By then we need to go to a commercial campground to do laundry, etc.; where I let the Intelli-power Charge Wizard charge from shore power.)
Pros:
* All automatic. Install it and forget it.
* Silent (no stupit noisy generators)!
Cons:
* Could use more power!!!
* Cracks in plastic frame?!?
This product works as advertised, and the price cannot be beat! July 9, 2010

I purchased two of these panels for my camper, along with their 7 amp charge controller. I used them for five days to maintain my batteries while camping without electrical hook-ups. During that time, the batteries supplied the power for the lights, water pump, and ignition source for my propane-fired water heater and refrigerator. The charge on the batteries was never below 12.8 volts the entire time. I will purchase one or two more in the future to go even longer without paying for electricity while camping.
Nice panel for the application June 30, 2010

I bought this panel strictly for charging some batteries for an LED rail lighting system for my back deck. It might sound like overkill, but there are a lot of LED's to discharge the batteries through the night. The unit puts out around 24 volts with no load connected. I gave this unit a 4 star because the plastic doesn't seem to be as durable as stated.
An added bonus was that I also recieved the 7 amp charge controller with associated wiring for free. I debated on purchasing the $111 kit that included the charge controller. I paid $84 for this one, but received the $111 kit.
