Kyocera KC85T 85W 12V Solar Panel with J-Box review

Purchased KC85T 85W panel for a 27 foot sailboat along with a Morningstar MPPT controller and I am seeing charge rates as high as 7.5A to my batteries as shown by my Link20 Link State Monitor. Boat is at 9000 feet in CO lake so gets pleanty of sun. Panel mounted with three 3/8 thick *1.5 inch wide aluminum stock and 1 inch rail mounts from Taylor-Made to allow panel to adjust. Bought nylon ell for junction box and ran 10 ga wire through it and filled with 3M 4200 to make completely waterproof. Only caveat is that the Junction box position makes rail mounting a chore due to it\'s location requiring a rail mount to end up with 2/3 of the panel on trailing side of rail and a little off balanced. Holds up great in 40kt winds. A custom 304 SS Rail mount was made by Railmakers.com. Purchase from AltE was on-time, staff were very helpful and the packaging was solid.
