Solar panels for sale

This was sort of an experiment for me. I have a remote pond that I wanted to
run a small pump in and there was no way I was about to string cable almost 2000
ft. So I did some quick math and figured with a timer I could run that pump
about 8 hours a day with this setup and a car battery (it’s only a small Beckett
pump). If I got more or less time, it was no big deal – I figured something was
better than nothing. So when this setup went on sale, I thought I’d give it a
whirl. Certainly more reliable than wind for me. Unlike others, packaging seemed
pretty good (Each cell wrapped in bubble wrap first, then surrounded
individually with styrofoam). But I can still imagine the box getting
dropped/kicked/etc and something breaking. So.. your mileage may vary. But aside
from the shipping, this was an easy setup. I would have liked a more rigid metal
frame, but the PCV is acceptable considering the cost. I may still craft
something myself down the road. The inverter is cheap – but I’m not trying to
run a table saw here so it serves my need. The specs are well stated in the
previous review and product description and I found similar results so far. I
was impressed that even in heavy shade, it was still charging at about 20mA (I
used an inline meter). In direct sun, the charge controller is pushing the full
7A. I’m curious if a larger charge controller can do more – that might be a test
down the road for me. Note: It helps if you have basic electrical skills. The
install guide is cheezy at best and I could picture somebody with no clue doing
something completely backwards. Luckily, most of the connectors are polarized so
you can’t go "too" wrong. Go slow – read – make sure you undertand – and you’ll
be fine. Based on what I see so far, I like it – a lot. I’ll try to remind
myself to do a follow up review to let everyone know how much and how long I can
actually run that pump. I think this is going to be ideal for my situation.
