Does anyone have any experience dealing with a solar dealer called Craig solar?
He sells on ebay and has some fairly huge single panels for sale, I'm interested in a 340 watt panel for my camper, a big single panel would be an easy fit for me.
I have a renogy dcc30s b2b with solar input, could I use a panel that big with it?

I’ve got them on the roof of my Motorhome. Excellent friendly service when I dealt with them just over a year ago. The panels seem to be working very well indeed. Recommended on this basis.

Brilliant, thanks, he has very good reviews from what I can find, so I reckon I'll give him a go. Not bad prices for the size of them.

I bought a 200w panel in December from Craig Solar. We haven’t fitted it yet. It looks and feels well made and delivery was quick and communication from the company good. Reviews were good so confident so far.

Thanks everyone, I'll be ordering the 340w panel tomorrow!

Ive just seen this thread. Your DCDC is limited to 25v solar input so the proposed panel is not compatible at 34v.

 

[Stealaway]

Thanks everyone, I'll be ordering the 340w panel tomorrow!

These are high voltage 34.6 volts domestic panels - check you solar controller can handle it

 

[Dazzola]

It's OK guys, I double checked the specs of them and my kit, ordered a suitable 230w panel instead, just waiting on some better weather to fit it!

Purchased a 410w panel last summer from Craig solar ,along with fitting kit ,delivered next day personally and has been a super performing panel complimenting a victron 100/30 coupled to a 300ah fogstar drift battery. My set up works so well i dont need to use hook up anymore.

One thing to note on Renogy combined B2B & Solar if it detects solar the B2B output is reduced by 50%. You can get around this by fitting a relay inline with the solar switched by the D+.

I would always fit separate units as if it fails you are stuffed, no solar or engine charging.

Purchased two 220watt panels last year from him via Amazon, seem very good so far.
