Please post the link. That sounds really cheap.
The entry level solar system I noted also comes with a voltage regulator so you cant just hook it all up ready to roll....

 I was recently diverted to an Alt. Energy website, and the guy there lives close to a Solar panel Manufacturing Plant. He hays he gets free panels that are below spec output   Might call around and ask about "Seconds".
