I found a good site for buying solar panels and controllers. It's solarblvd.com. They have 2 80 watt panels and a morningstar MPPT controller for $429 and shipping from Cali to Pa. is only $35. I checked with other site and shipping was so high it would double the cost of the panels. I've emailed them and they respond right away and are always polite. They also have the 80 watt panels separate for $129 where most want at least $300.

I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them. Nice folks to deal with.

Just be aware that < 100 watt panels are going the way of the dinosaur. Down the road if you need to buy more you will be buying different panels.

The good news is with the controller you are getting you can just add more in series. It is very popular for small systems. I've used several of them myself.
