HQST400W Solar Panel Kit 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel with 40A MPPT Solar Charge Controller, Mounting Z Bracket, 20FT 10AWG Solar Cable, 8Ft 10AWG Tray Cable, LCD Dispaly, 40.1 x 20 x 1.18 Inches

We bought this kit to put on our “solar ready” 2021 Coachmen Freedom express 292BHDSLE. The trailer was pre wired for a different solar manufacturer from the roof to the front storage to the battery. We put the panels next to the pre wires port (with connectors) on the roof and the charge controller in the front storage compartment. All of the parts needed to install came with the kit.The wire that comes with the kit are set up for trailers that are not solar ready. Panel connectors to ope ended wire and ring terminals to open ended wires. It came with the fork terminals to connect to the charge controller. It would be nice if they sold a kit for “solar ready” RVs - put connectors on the wire and not have it a blunt end. I bought a connector used wire for $30 and is working great. I measured 20.5 vdc and it is overcast - no direct sunlight.I added fusible links on the solar side and battery side and had to buy dicor caulk for the bolts on the roof. Everything else was part of the kit.At the time of the review - I just finished the install. It took less than an hour (“solar ready” rv). Les than $40 in other parts that I bought that weren’t included (fuses are optional). Getting 20.5 VDC on an overcast morning. Batteries are charging at 14.4 VDC on solar and 13.9 VDC on shore power. So far I am impressed with the product

The order was incomplete but was made good after a couple of emails.

Solar panels and controller seem solid. All solar panels come with a positive and negative wire connector already attached. Issue is they sent me two negative wire connector 20-foot wires to go from solar panels to controller. Hopefully they will send a positive connector 20-foot wire so I can actually use the solar panels. Everything else was as listed. I had to buy additional connectors to get all four panels connected together, but still can't use without a 20-foot positive connector wire.

I needed an extension cable to connect both sets to the main wire, which was a bummer. There was no way to place all four close enough to connect all wires without an extension, which I ordered via Amazon and promptly received. Also, while I am new to solar, my expectation was that I would get at least decent power down when it's cloudy out, but if it's overcast/cloudy, I register zero amps inbound. I suspect that this is universally true for all panels, but I'm not sure about that so I thought it was worth mentioning. On a sunny Ohio summer day, I've seen nearly 9 amps inbound on occasion, but the average, with no clouds and at the right time of day, seems to be around 4-5 amps.As a side note, the controller got a bad comment by one user. For me, this being my first solar setup, I didn't think it was a joke and generally found it to be fine/uncomplicated. I wish the instructions were printed on larger paper and a bit more detailed, but it has done exactly exactly what it was advertised to do, good enough for this solar novice. After I learn more, and hopefully have more panels, I'll worry about a more advanced solar controller.Additionally, the brackets worked perfectly and, while I am extremely handy, I was able to put the four panels on the roof of my woodshop, 18x22, and they look like a pro did it!All products arrived on time and in great shape, properly packed, etc. I would recommend this product.

I've had this setup for a few years now and it's been great, I thought it was pretty straight forward and the fuses are optional if you ask me, I have no in line fuses anywhere on this setup and it works fine. I have a stand alone auxiliary battery in the bed of my Tacoma for camping, I have a fridge, a few lights and it's able to charge phones and what not with the right setup and the solar keeps the battery topped off, I may have a battery issue or may need a new panel but that's what you get when you dont buy super high end, there's risks invloved

Haven’t used tech support yet,I hope it’s good

Works great on my camper I used 6 100 watt panels and 2 lithium batteries.. Also have a 8000-4000 watt inverter.works great together.

Simple install didn’t use technical support
