I can get thru even a very cold night using the propane furnace and only use 25% of the charge. And we run the LED TV for 5-6 hours plus LED lighting. These panels charge better in lower sunlight than rigid panels.

The kit does not come with much in the way of instructions and you will need to purchase a combiner box, fuses, grounding and other wiring, etc. I also added a battery monitor.

Yes but I don't know any place you can buy 80watt panels with a 25yr warranty for $129 a piece or 2 panels and a MPPT controller for $429.
