Yes I have had a 20 watt and a 30 watt from them in 2009,They were the Monocrystalline type,I drove up there and collected them, Very nice people to deal with,One point I have found is on a dull day you will get the voltage but very little ampage,Which is what you need,When the Sun is high it is a different ball game,Do not forget the Regulator/Controller thats another Ģ20 as well,Best of luck,Sundance 590Rs who has had the rotten floor problem ?

Don't forget , as I had a 100 watt Alden "follow the sun every 20 minutes" it was only as good even on a sunny day as a trickle car battery charger which takes over night to charge a small car battery !!

Dunno but my 2 ebay chinky panels have matched the load I could put on my batteries these past two days. All the lights , inverter , Tv, sat receiver. 4.5 amps going out and a bit more going in.

As my batteries are nearly always full I wanted to test them while I've been working on the van and the 140 watts of panels are doing OK

I've had stuff from them without problems however they appear to be using what I call "first generation panels" The latest panels from BP or Kyocera use the latest technology which have a better output when cloudy and are up to 18/19% plus efficient (as opposed to first generations 12/13%. But then that is reflected in the price you pay.

One thing to consider is to go for a MPPT controller as they can give up to 15% better amperage. And as Tesco say - every little helps....
