Why?
I'm just starting out with solar power and I got a 100W panel set (4 x 25W with a charge controller) and 35Ah battery from HF just to try it out and so far it seems fine.
- tiahura 3y agoThe cheap junk on Amazon is much better.
- eyegor 3y agoThis is not generally true. Amazon is plagued by drop shippers now and as a result most of their solar junk is many years old warehouse stock. Harbor freight tends to be better. Ex: https://youtu.be/W-fgI6Kyy2I https://youtu.be/W-fgI6Kyy2I
- naikrovek 3y agoevery single thing I have ever purchased from Harbor Freight has yard test ceased to function or physically broken after the first serious use. every. last. thing. ~25-30 things between myself and my family & friends. all of us have had the same results. sure, they'll often replace the thing free of charge, but that just addresses the money - my time is valuable, too, and going back and forth to HF all the time just got really old. no more.
- naikrovek 3y agoI have no idea at all how I made that typo, or how I missed it as I proofread multiple times.
