And that sane lunk had a 180 watt kit for $49 less.

Too bad that I:
1- Don’t have the $ and
2- Dont need it now...
 
That's a very interesting offer.

The controller isn't rated for 200 watts of solar.

The description doesn't mention that panels are included even though the pictures show panels.

It seems to me you'd need to buy a different charge controller, but it claims to have all the cabling needed. So maybe it's a good deal.
 
In the specifications it says one panel is included. The panel is rated at 9.62 amps. At 12 Volts, 12 V * 9.62 A = 115 Watts.

I wonder why they call this a 200 W solar kit?
 
Seems to be a lot of deceptive marketing out there lately!

I didnt see that in the description. But the panels voltage wont be 12v. More like 18~20ish.

200÷9.62=20.79 if the panel voc is 20.79 then it's in fact 200 watts.
 
Its $478 today. They're awfully proud of that kit.
