Hi John - Don't have any yet - still awaiting the delivery of MH - will be working on doing a power budget soon and expect that to indicate I need about 110 Watt.
Hope you and Bruno are well and your Dad is getting better.
By the way some of you have mention 'polycrystaline' is this the preffered technology ?????????? (What other types are there ????????)

In answer to the question about different types here is recent post by Pappjohn: there are basically three different types of electric solar panels available.
The first type of electric solar panel is called a Monocrystalline and is created from one large single crystal. This type is the best since it can generate electricity in lower light conditions and will also produce more power from the same amount of sunlight. This means you need less of these on your roof to generate your power. The downside is that because it is made from a single expensive crystal it is a more costly panel than the other choices.
The next type of electric solar panel is called a Polycrystalline and this is similar to the first, but is constructed out of several smaller crystals. While it is not as efficient as the first type it still does a great job of converting sunlight to electricity. This type of electric solar panel is the most common and is reasonably priced.
The third style of electric solar panel is called Amorphous and it is built by applying silicon directly onto stainless steel plates. It is less efficient than the other choices and will require more of these type of electric solar panels to generate the same amount of power you would get from a few of the other two types.

No you can mix and match, A good idea is to buy one, then watch evilbay and add to them as you go along,hi there,
i've been lead to understand that your 3 solar panels must all be of the same power i.e.3x80 watts!???! also i am trying to obtain a sunworks regulator/controller apparently sold by a
company called "detroit solar" anyone got a contact number or
address for them please:thumb:
