My first solar panel purchase

What an exciting day. I made my first purchase for freedom.
 I received these 2 (100 w) Solar panels in the mail today
They were said to be monocrystalline
Here is a video of me un-boxing them. :)
This is a charge controller I won in a drawing from Herbsterplace1 on Youtube.
