Renogy? Or is it really a Remogy with an 'm' ?

I have a 100 watt kit, purchased from them direct through Amazon was about $160 or so. They offer the 100 watt kit, with that inverter, direct at $379

It's the same kit I got, plus the inverter (which I didn't need anyway). That said, I've been pretty happy with my panel. It might not be as aesthetically pleasing to the eye for everyone, but function-wise, it works great for me. I have it wired to a pair of GC2s and it keeps it up just fine. I was out in a couple pretty cloudy days, and the panel had them topped back off in just a few hours of sun the next morning. if you're able to get it for under $300, and it's a new kit, I'd consider that a pretty decent bargain. I assume it's the 100 watt kit, but you didn't mention if it it was that, or 200w, etc.

There are a LOT out there, all depends on what sort of usage you have, what loads you're putting, and what kind of amp draw you have and need to replenish.
