I bought the 2 100w panels from home depot. $236 after tax. $1.18 per watt
Looking at either windy nation controller, can use for AGM SLA, Deep Cycle wet lead acid, Gel Cell or lithium batteries (12, 24, and 48V system
OR
Sealed, Gel, and Flooded battieries (12, and 24V systems)
I think I'm going to wait on buying a controller until I know what battery kind I'm going to get.
Undecided on the battery. The volt pack would be awesome, I was worried that because of the balancing it would need a special charger but this ( in the description) "available with installed BMS for balancing, and overcharging protection" sounds like I wouldn't need anything, just hook up to a regular charger.
Otherwise I'm just looking at regular SLA batteries or Deep cycle

FreeBeard: I was thinking inside. Does the location really matter? (about the charge controller)
PS: I resized the images.
