this is it in the hard-shell protective case. . . Thank s to Mrs Dellmassive for the Photo-shoot !! its supposed to demonstrate the scale / size.

on the inside / backside we have the two panels mounted in a study ALU frame, hinged at the center.
and the included PWM Voyager 20A controller on a hinged bracket - so you can swing it down when deployed and see the display.

the rest of the kit included . . . connection cables with fused crock clips,
carry pouch, and user guide for the controller.
they use MC4 connectors for the PV and battery side . . . which i dont like, so ill be changing that over at some point soon. (anderson plugs for battery side)

so im well impressed. . .
charge average is around 6A per 100w, so id expect 12A / 200W max from this setup. . . . . i got over 10A. in late afternoon UK June sun. =]
