    Is HQST the same as Renogy? I found this one for sale a bit cheaper then the Renogy labelled one, but they look the same to me:

    Most of these manufacturers source their panels from the same place. One thing to note though... You're going to want a Monocrystalline panel, not polycrystalline.

    I have two green ones on the shelf right now. I will be placing an order with Switch-Pros today, to replenish my inventory. If you place your order today, the blue Switch-Pro will ship with your battery system. The battery systems have an approximate lead time of 2 weeks right now... So, there would be no delay in getting your Switch-Pro.

    Very cool. I'll be sure to make a note on your order that you'd like the blue Switch-Pro... since my website doesn't ask.

    Hi all. Has anyone else has located their second battery behind their rear seat? Where did you run your cables? 1/0 gauge seems a little big to fit along the driver side rocker panel. Wondering if anyone has some tips before I tear apart my interior this weekend. TIA

    Monocrystalline is newer technology and is far more efficient than polycrystalline. You'll get more power out of a similarly sized mono panel vs. poly panel.

    I have been doing mine in stages to make it easer to afford. You can DYI and save money, but it wont be of this quality. I did the passenger side mount and cables without the isolator or drivers side mount. I will do drivers side mount next.
