What's a Callidus kit? Is it a solar panel kit?
If so then let us know which one as number if panels and their wattage etc makes a big difference

yes its a solar kit number 95 on there web site ..its a 330 watt panel..one panel..with a victron 100/20 mppt.......callidus is the name of the company. thanks

Seems a fair price to me as I budget £100 per 100watt panel. Qcell model sounds interesting but I dont know what it really means.
200watts of solar to two 110ah batteries used to work for me for 4 or 5 days camping. Didn't try depths of winter though when there is obviously not a lot of direct sun.

The most important thing fitting solar panels are, making sure you have enough room on your roof.
Victron equipment is good and the 330w panel is large.
Sometimes things won't fit, and you end up with two instead of one. Bob.

We used Callidus to put a big solar system on the rooves of our club in Exeter and they use all Victron kit for the Inverters, Solar chargers etc. we feed in to the grid via Octopus and it saves us a fortune. Happy to recommend them - they are based in Newton Abbot, Devon.

Have a look on eBay/Amazon for cost of individual components like for like.
As said it should fulfill your CURRENT (no pun intended)needs,but think to the future.
Also maybe a b2b with mppt and starter battery maintainer would be worth looking at
I have a Renogy about 280£ which has been superb ( kept all batteries full since October with no additional charging and filthy panels)
sure victron do similar if you are brand specific.
