12 volt has big losses over distance, if you place them close to where you need them in the house (with a battery) you will have much less voltage drop.
I'm curious, what did you pay for those panels? Prices seem to be all over the chart, it's hard to see what they are worth.
Pete,
How did you mount these on the roof? I've got 6 panels from HF and want to mount them "easily" without using rails, etc. Can you share?

Harbor Freight had a nice sale on them.
It comes with the controller and the 12V lights too.

It's about time people think outside the box! Awesome. Can't wait to see your next idea materialize

Well not much drop in voltage at all.. The cables are 23 ft and performed very well.
These panels (3 in total) were on sale at a local electronic shop $219 with the charging unit.
Enjoy your weekend.
