Thanks clean

I left out the huh

in western australia there is a unit attached to the uni where they have solar pannel's set up with all types of arrangements and you can go in and ask what ever you want and its free, i'm sure all uni's around australia would have the same setup , ring your local one and see what they say

just go a simple regulator, the novelty will wear off pretty quick with the fancy ones, all you need is LED indication

Where did you score the cheap 65w panels?

Hi land864,
Does it also include a regulator and cabling? If not, don't skimp on the cabling, you want to minimise voltage drop (as a couple of guys on here have told me ).

Best Wishes,

Thanks Pete

It's all set up , ready to go.

Panels , regulator , cables , the lot but thanks for the heads up.

I'll see how it works and upgrade cables if necessary
