By R. Spiker
I've had this solar panel for some time and it and the included 7 amp controller work great. It charges my RV battery much faster than the 15 watt single panel it replaced. I can run my stereo all day and the 30 watt solar panel keeps the battery fully charged. It's also very nice that it conveniently folds in half saving space when storing in the RV.One note about the Amazon product video; the instructions that accompanied the controller clearly indicate that you should hook the controller to the battery FIRST before attaching the solar panel to the controller.Instruction manual states;"Always connect charge controller to battery first and remove last. Observe polarity - positive to positive and negative to negative".The aforementioned Amazon product video has you WRONGLY connecting the solar panel to the controller before hooking the controller to the battery. I know from personal experience that hooking it up in this order does something to the controller and both the amber and green LEDs come on simultaneously and there is no charging occuring.

By Quentin Laymon
A little disappointing. It comes with a tiny instruction sheet that contains no detail and is poorly written. A beginner, like me, will be very frustrated with this product. The stand is somewhat cheesy and fragile. If you go to the manufacturer's website, they have all sorts of ways to help you buy their product, but nothing in the way of product support and instruction except that you can print off the useless instruction sheet that you already have!Whatever happened to owner's manuals? A good manual or a least something of value on the company website would have made a lot of difference in the way I feel about this purchase.

By Bill
These are nice panels that fold like a suitcase and therefore protect the panels when moving them. I do not even use the brackets as they are a poor design. Just lean the panels against a wall or against a 3'x 3" piece of wood (to the center to keep the panels flat).They will charge a deep cycle battery in 3 days. Everything is included but batteries! I am amazed how much energy is available with a 30 watt system. Imagine a 200 watt system!!! I bought the Watts Up to keep track of voltage and it reads to the 100th of a volt without drawing current. I am amazed that more people are not into solar power. This unit provides well over 12 volts even when there is no direct sunlight. Free power if you buy the receiver :) The panels are black and not blue like Sunforce has them to appear which is very appealing in real life. This is a great hobby. You can get a Black & Decker 500 watt inverter ($40) and charge small batteries, computers, Kindles and all the sudden you are "going green" !!!
