Probably OK, but not a bargain.
I would buy the panels and the controller separate, and get a better controller.
There are other light weight panels around for $2 per watt.

Cheers,
Peter

Have a look on Ebay for Solar Panels, 200 Watt panels are $212-00 from Melbourne,

That particular controller comes from China, I bought a 30 Amp MPPT Controller from them, Cost, $40-00, It works great too,

Its all on my coach now,

It's probably a good time to grab a bargain... the Aussie dollar is getting weaker and there's talk of it going down to 75 cents US at some stage. We've had it pretty good for a long time now.

Solar panels are getting cheaper. In 2010 when my MH was fitted out, 80 watt panels were over $250.00 each. I just fitted a third panel and cost was $125.00. Shop around.

When I fitted 600W to the OKA in 2005, PV panels cost over $9 per watt.

Cheers,
Peter
