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.


This is a power inverter I bought a while back.It is only 400 watts. But it will do for now. It was originally purchased to run the pump on the sink in my Kettle corn trailer.

  • Short Circuit Current (Isc): 6.12A
  • Maximum System Voltage: 1000VDC

I'm not sure I'm in the correct blog for your most recent entries...
But, I wanted to visit with you and answer your question you left for me...

I'm assuming you were asking about the challenge I have for bloggers at the top of my blog...the initial to find in nature? Mine was the letter "A" made by the tree branches...it's in very plain sight.
