If this is an isolated unit you will need batteries and the proper cables. I daisy chained two 12v car batteries (720 CCA) together. I used 12 gage stranded wire (positive and negative) designed for car audio and soldiered the ends. I squared the ends soldered ends so they would fit properly into the solar charge controller. If you want AC power as I did I ran two more 12 gage wires (positive and negative) for the inverter. I hooked up a 1200 watt power inverter with 12v USB and other power options. This is an isolated 120v AC system and will run several lights, TV, radio, etc.

You will need cable to attach the charge controller to your batteries. The shorter the better. I used an inexpensive set of jumper cables with 8 gauge wire and I had to reduce it at the controller with a cable end that is a post, generally found at a car audio parts store. The battery end uses a standard ring connector that will fit your battery post.I kept that distance less than 10 feet.

You need a charge controller. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I0IZ7O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , but I had to cut the wires on the solar panel to connect to the charge controller. You can get adapters, but I'm not sure what those are called.

I use a 20watt panel and a voltage regulator. If you have a battery,you will need a solar regulator.

Hello,This particular kit is intended for the use of charging 12v batteries but definitely the type of panel can be used and extra equipment.You should contact your local power/utility company to get more information on what type of system you can get on your home.There are certain building codes that must be met so there may only be a certain amount of panels that your home can support for mounting and such.If you need more information please feel free to contact us any time.Kind Regards,AW

The solar panel has MC4 Connectors and they are about ~2.5 ft. in length. You can buy MC4 connectors separately and crimp them on your on wire. On the opposite end of this cable, you can use always use Anderson Powerpole connectors for quick connect solution.

A 30A Charge controller WILL be adequate and will work but it is a narrow margin for your 145 watt panels. I estimated the amperage on your panels @ 7.25 amps each, that put you right at 29 amps. Barring any solar fluxes that might tip the controller to temp shut down you should be ok.

Dear customer, you will need a branch connector if you want connect two panels in parallel.You can find the product here:http://www.amazon.com/Branch-Connectors-Connector-Solar-Panel/dp/B00BCWRB48/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1376241228&sr;=8-2&k;eywords=MC4+Branch+connectorYou will also a Adaptor cable from the MC4 branch connector/MC4 connector to the charge controller. The length is to be decided by you. Thanks.

I have two of them wired into the charge controller via "RENOGY® 20ft. Adaptor kit Solar Cable PV with MC4 Female and Male connectors Connecting Solar Panel to Charge controller". Works great. Make sure the controller can handle the amps.

If you use the two charge controllers that they each came with. also look up Renolgy 100w solar kits they are way more bang for the buck.

The previous answer you received is correct. You need an 8mm adaptor......http://www.goalzero.com/p/261/mc4-solar-to-8mm-adapter-cable/

The solar panels comes with 2ft. cables on both positive and negative with MC4 connectors. You don't need MC4 connectors either to open l the box. It's all plug and play.

This is kit is for off grid that you need battery and inverter. We also have grid tie kit listed in our store. Thanks for your interest with Renogy.

There is a person selling this exact same set-up (this 30-watt solar panel and a duracell 600 power pack), for $400. He calls this same combo "solar generator plug n play ...". Check-out his ad both here and on fleabay. He's apparently using the adapter that came with this solar panel. (Even if you end up buying an adapter, you will still be saving money.) Buy these two items (solar panel and battery) - Save about 100 dollars!When you get the correct info on the adapters - please post it here! Try their 1-800 phone number -- For accurate information

I just ordered the kit and it has not yet arrived so I'm not sure if it comes with the tray cable which connects the MPPT charge controller to the battery. However, the tray cable is not listed in the kit description as being included. Plus, if your inverter does not come with a heavy duty battery cable, you will need that as well to connect from battery to inverter.

You'll need to buy the wiring and transformer such as theses that I used: Intermatic ML300RTW Malibu 300-Watt Power Pack with Timer and Ground Shield; Intermatic ML12210 Malibu 100-Foot 12/2-Guage Low Voltage Cable

The solar panel kit comes with three 15 watt solar panels. Simply connect your solar panels to your 12 volt DC storage battery, and then use at least a 300 watt power inverter to power your 120 volt AC device.

That's a hard question to answer,do you want to just keep the batterys topped off or is there going to be daily usage of the batteries also ? I would say with your constant sun 3-4 100watt panels would be enough. Mono or Poly panels don't matter with your amt. of sun. Go cheap ! They both will give you a life span of 25years give or take.Hope this helps.
