I bought a 250 watt and its not bad , works ok . bit heavy but I wanted the 250w , they now have a 200w folding thin panel packs down to about 500 x 500

That's the one I have, bit heavy but keeps the battery up when van in storage. Looking at taking one side off to see how it goes.

Hi Limbosmile

You might get a better reply if you post in the Techies Corner and even in the SOLAR sub forum !

I have the 160kw panels and the seem to work very good. I don't use a lot of power but my old 105 amp battery was kept charged for 2 weeks camping in the bush.

Ditto to what Bello said, I have the Kings 160w panels and on cloudy days they work fairly well to supplement the 600w I have on the roof (feeding 460a/h of batteries). Only thing is the weight - mine tip the scales at 14kg.

General on ebay the equation is $1/w. I paid $250 for my 250w portable folding array with all the wiring just to clip on to my battery.
