As others have stated, maybe not a bad way to get into your initial setup, get everything aboard and working and then replace as you go along... but be aware that these "camping" type
panels have very little if any regulation, don't hold up well over time (even in non-saltwater environments) and consistently pull less W than what they are rated (even when brand new before degrading).
Same with controller, where you'll eventually want an mppt and would be well advised to buy viltron... and at some point if youre going to replace both panel and controller why not do so from the beginning?
