Renogy Solar kit good/not good?

"Their sales office and their warehouse apparently have communication issues."

Renogy west coast location in Pomona, CA. I don't see how they could have a communication issue as you can yell from the front desk to the warehouse. Its all in one place, the warehouse, sales, customer service, will call. Its a huge warehouse with thousand of solar panels. The only problem is there are very few employees. I have gone there before to buy stuff it takes a very long time there is one person who runs the front desk and handles walk in sales. There was one customer service rep and one warehouse person. Once the warehouse person was at lunch so we had to sit there until they got back to get our panels.

Heh. I knew that it was all right there. I just imagined my label getting printed and failing to make it out the office door into the warehouse. Maybe being used for a desk lunch placemat. Or maybe it made it to the warehouse and a wind came up with the bay door open and blew my label under a rack. In any case, they said that it had shipped for two weeks when it hadn't left the warehouse. So their process ain't so great.

HDR, I'm surprised you cannot imagine a lack of communication between physically close people! These days, the world turns on that.

I LOLed IRL =D Funniest exchange in my whole day. But there were only four exchanges, so the bar wasn't so high! 

I never know which ones peple know and which they don't. IRL = in real life.

Ok Group,

After speaking to several of you on another thread.. I have decided on the Solar kit below.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html?ref_=nav_cart

is there any reason I would need a control more than 20v?? 

since it is a 12v system, I would imagine 20v is sufficient

I will add another solar panel early down the road, but this is to just get me started and also to help me plan out my build better

I am 99% positive I will be connecting 2 100AH batteries, or maybe I need to look into 1 200ah battery

does any one see anything wrong with this system?

Solar power is somewhat addictive.  You'll quickly find more is better.
Like others have suggested, I would go just a little more if you can afford it.

And Renogy is ok...and I have Renogy products, but they aren't the best deal in the rodeo or necessarily the best quality bang for your solar buck.

I am sure more is better, BUT I am in an 06 Grande caravan,, Pretty limited
