Good panels have a good warranty, usually 20 or 25 years.
Just be sure that you can make a claim if you get a DOA or a 5 year wonder....

Cheers,

Looks good, in Australia I'd go with it if it was me. It's a complete setup. Would not bother if it was being sent from O/S but being in Australia and if it's a dud then you would have consumer protection, if its sent in from O/S you don't have that...

that price and the write up look and sound very good, if it does all that it states then you have a bargain!

Checked the specs out with the local auto electrician, who also happens to have the contract for fitting solar to new Jayco here in Adelaide.
His comments, like Daves if output is as stated its a bargain.
Ended up paying $549.99 plus $50 postage.

in that case Gary you have a very good deal, i got mine (a long time ago) for mates rates, 80 watt briefcase type brand name, for just over $900, the same as it cost Darren ,our local camping supply store owner, in fact he paid the freight because it came with a heap of awnings

just keep us advised as to how they perform will you please, just run a couple of tests for us please and let us know how you get on

this seems to me to be a very cheap way for the young players to get into a decent setup
