Those solar panels look interesting. Are they plug and play (into a big battery I presume)? How much did they cost?

I believe I have the same panels. Very easy way to get into solar, and they are tough. Sitting outside on a camper roof in upstate NY for 3 years now and still going. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JVBVL3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What batteries do you have it paired with?

I use deep cycle marine 12 volt lead acid batteries. But I don't care about weight since I don't move them around. If I was camping I would probably want LiFePO or something lighter like that. You could literally hook the thing up and start making power 20 minutes out of the box. That's how I got into solar. Now I'm off grid and the whole house is solar.
