FYI solar on sale

[pods8]

Just a heads up for anyone interested I noticed solarblvd.com is running some good looking sales on a few sized panels:
100watt- $135
80watt - $129
60watt - $80
40watt- $55

Even though I don't NEED solar the temptation got to me so I ordered the 100watt panel above for my camper build. I paired it with a Sunsaver SS-10, also an FYI the Gen 3 sunsavers do stage charging, I was not aware of that previously and tipped the scales in my decision since it has the functions I'd want in a compact/affordable controller. Gen 3 sunsaver manual has charge profiles listed (page 8 of 11mb pdf)

Nice price. I think I'll get one if they're still on sale by thursday. Same as you I don't need solar yet. Of course with a panel staring at me it probably won't be long before I get the rest.

Anyone run the wiring from the roof that was not pre wired?

Nice find.


Kinda off topic but...

I know that there .0083 amps/watt, 120vac. Is 12vdc .083 amps/watt?
Or is there some additional loss with vdc?

"Watt" is just another way to say, "Volt*Ampere."
