• Mounting frames for the panels.
• A 200-watt power inverter.
• Solar charge controller (7-amp).
• Wiring kit, including accessories used in installation.

Installation and Maintenance
While it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to install solar panels or figure out how many solar panels you’ll need to run your cabin or RV, nevertheless you will need to educate yourself carefully to make sure you’re choosing the right solar kit for your application and installing it correctly. It’s helpful to have a friend who knows a thing or two about electrical wiring as you set up; otherwise, read the manual very carefully.

The advantage of this particular kit is that it will not require very much maintenance. Hose it off once in a while to remove accumulated dirt that may block sunlight.
