I have a Renogy setup that I use for field radio ops, I think the quality is good. 

Another Podder pointed out a setup that I really like that I think would be a good solution.

I'm looking at buying a "plug-and-play" (portable suitcase-style) PV system for my 178 rpod.  I have 2 standard 12-volt batteries, and would need power only for lights, water pump, furnace fan, radio.  No a/c appliances.  Anyone have experience with:

- the optimal size.  I'm pricing 80 watt and 120 watt systems
- intel on manufacturers.  I'm seeing ProPower, Zamp, and Renogy online, with pretty significant price differences.  Is there a difference in quality?

Thanks for any insights you can provide -
