I agree Bruce having dealt with Ozplaza several times and their service is speedy. (although once they sent chairs with the wrong colour leather, and after all the trouble of sending them back they sent the wrong colour again
I usually just buy my solar panels from Bitdeals who I have dealt with many times in the past ten years.
The trouble with a deal that goes wrong is much worse when we are travelling and have arranged to collect a parcel from a Town we don't want to stay in for an extended time. Good communication is very important at these times, and whether a supplier has 99% good record does not excuse lies being told to avoid losing a customer's dollars. Best they communicate without lies and simply refund in a timely manner.

And when you lodge a complaint they block you from ever buying from them again

Sure they would be great, especially with regard to the weight. But the cheaper ones were $300 and those had a low open circuit voltage under 19v in the few that I looked at. So $220 compared to $600 plus. Out of all the ones I have looked at I think the one in the link will be the pick.
Read the specs and thought it sounded good, then I had a closer look. I am sure it is a typo.
The open circuit voltage and max power voltage are back to front, the same with the short circuit current and max power current. As for the actual panel voltages combined and fed down that supplied cable to the MPPT controller mounted close to the battery it might just work.

Love the photo with the controller wiring, wrong If they can't get the wiring correct, how would the know the Vmp or Imp (max power voltage and maximum current amps) so I'd treat the whole specs with a grain of salt, can't see how they could get the weight down to 15 kgs either so ......
