The Sunforce 50044 60-Watt Solar Charging Kit has everything you need to start generating power. It includes four (4) 15-Watt amorphous solar panels with durable mounting frames, a 200-Watt modified sine wave power inverter, a 7-Amp solar charge controller, and a wiring kit with accessories for easy installation.
With built-in blocking diode technology, this solar charging kit is designed to protect against battery discharge at night. You can also use this kit to maintain the charge on any 12-Volt battery for clean, silent operation of various electronics, such as deer feeders and landscaping pumps. The included charge controller features a built-in ultra-bright blue LED charging indicator, and is a great choice for automobiles, recreational vehicles, tractors, all-terrain vehicles, boats, electric fences, telemetry and more.
About Amorphous Solar Power
Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon on to glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. Sunforce amorphous solar panels are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, require virtually no maintenance, and are also effective on cloudy days. They can even withstand impacts from one-inch hailstones at 50 miles-per-hour.
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Sunforce Solar Charging Kits are primarily used to recharge 12-Volt batteries (not included), which store and provide usable power. The included 200-Watt power inverter allows you to use traditional 110-Volt appliances with this system. The included Sunforce 7-Amp Solar Charge Controller must be installed to prevent any connected batteries from overcharging. Once fully charged, it is normal for the charge controller LED to turn off and on as the battery voltage fluctuates from the discharge/recharge cycle.

Great buy October 7, 2009

I now own four sets of these panels. Yes, I would have preferred to buy fewer panels with higher output but this package comes with everything you need and is so easy to set up. After my second set I finally moved the panels to the roof of the cabin I use them at, each set comes with enough wire to run to the charge controller inside the cabin (I now use a 25 amp controller, not the one that comes with the package).
This is a great "learner" set if you want to learn the basics of solar power and it is easy to add to it if you are like me and can only afford to add a little at a time. I may be buying a fith set unless I can scrape up enough money to buy the 60 watt single panel that sunforce makes (also available at Amazon)
And free shipping option, for a 60 pound package shipped to Hawaii via USPS Priority mail!!! I am becoming an Amazon junkie.
Temporary installation October 1, 2009
george (Broward County)
All items arrived quickly and in good shape. Installed in the backyard and charging a new DieHard battery with wires going thru a window. I called temporary installation because is intended as a minimum source of power for a 60 watts TV, modem and router, a lap top and a window fan, just a back up for power failures very common in Florida in the hurricane season.
When the season is over I will make a permanent installation in a shed and running a wire from the inverter to the house to have some AC to power some devices. I will provide a picture then.
Maybe I will see a small drop in the monthly bill. I recommend this product. Good value and performs as advertised.

Marsha Heard (El Paso, TX USA)
We assembled the frame and panels easily. The instruction booklet was not well written, and a little vague. We tried it out for the first time over the 4 day Labor Day holiday. The dry-camp site was deep in the NM mountains with 15 others in the group. We were able to keep the 2- 6 volt batteries that were connected 100% charged. It was a big hit and we had lights when others had to conserve. Glad we purchased it, some of our buddies are getting one after seeing it.
 Neat package.. Good demo for beginners. September 12, 2009
Robert Inget (Southern Oregon)
The panels themselves are of excellent quality. The stand, goes together in quickly and neatly.
Good deal for the price.
