Re: Opinions on solar kit?

Thanks to everyone's comments, I gained the confidence to order my own system today. I got it all from Northern AZ Wind & Sun:

2 Kyocera KD140GX-LFBS 140 Watt 12 Volt Solar Modules w/ MC4 connections
Blue Sky 3000i controller
Battery temp sensor
Fuse holders and covers
MC4 extension cable 30 ft
MC4 Y-connectors
6ga wire and connectors
Nylon strain relief fittings for going through PH top and van roof
MC4 disconnect tool

All of it came to a touch over a grand. Kind of like owning a boat.

Q: You know what BOAT stands for?
A: Break Out Another Thou$and.

Which is why I call the van the DesertBoat.

Re: Opinions on solar kit?

Mine is a similar system fin AZWS. Works great. Charges my single small house battery really fast.

I thought a boat was a hole in the water where you tossed your money.
