Have been looking at buying one on e-bay, it is a bp solar panel 80watt £295 looks to be a very good price. Anyone come accross these type of panels, and are they any good.

I have used a BP Solar mono-crystalline panel on a caravan and coupled to a Morningstar controller was very good.

Rod,

Did you have any drama's in wiring up your controller to the panel?

No problems at all.

Instructions should come with panel and the controller.

There's just the positive and negative from the panel to the controller and a positive and negative fron the controller to the battery.

Some more sophisticated controllers have a low voltage detected output which allows, for instance your TV to be turned off when the battery gets low, thus leaving enough power for the water pump.

These are two additional terminals.
