【Good flexibility】The minimum radius of the arc that a solar flexible panel can reach is 40cm(15.75 in).It is allowed to be installed on trailers, boats, cabins, tents, cars, trucks, trailers, yachts, trailers, roofs, or any other irregular surface.
【Light weight & easy to install】It is only 0.1 inches tall and weighs only 3.97lb, which is very suitable for the assembly of invisible solar energy. And the solar panel is easy to transport, install, hang, and remove.
【High conversion efficiency】High efficient monocrystalline solar cell, adopt unique back contact technology and remove electrodes on the solar cell surface that block the sunshine to increase the solar panel conversion efficiency up to 50% more efficiency than ordinary.
【High-quality material】： The solar panel is made of ETFE. ETFE material has higher light transmittance and longer service life than ordinary materials. ETFE materials ensure the best performance day after day. The backplane adopts TPT, which is good for heat dissipation, waterproof, high temperature resistance and easy to clean.
【Wide range of application】: It is very suitable for 12-volt battery charging. Multiple panels can be connected in series to charge 24/48 volt batteries. It needs to be used with the controller to protect the battery, and the solar panel can be easily connected to the solar controller/regulator.

I bought two different brands at the same price point. This one was obviously much higher quality, returned the other one. It’s putting out an expected amount of power, time will tell how well it holds up, all of the thin flexible panels are not as durable as the solid glass panels, but this was so easy to install on a homemade truck camper and won’t affect my mileage.

Both of my 100W flexible panels have failed with only partial voltage and zero amperage. They have been installed on a fixed mount the entire time. I even put a corrugated plastic under the panels when mounted to help with airflow and reduce heat damage. I’m very disappointed in the durability of this product.

I purchased 4 of these 100 watt panels. When I first got these panels I tested them in direct sun on the grass right out of the box. 400 watts of panels only put out 210 watts. I was a little surprised I was only getting about 50% of what was advertised. However I justified my purchase based on the price. I was excited to get them installed on the van so I could keep my batteries topped off.
Once they were installed I only got about 175 watt total out of the 4 panels. I assumed this loss was due to the fact that they are now installed and in the sun for more time. The heat I’m sure takes away from the efficiency.
I’ve had them installed for about a month now. Today in full sun all 4 panels only put out 75 watts. That’s less than 25% of what was advertised after a very short amount of time.
I justified the initial purchase because of the price. But if I’m getting less than 25% of what is advertised I should have bought one quality 100w panel at the same price and it would have taken up less space.
They look great and I like the idea of solar. Unfortunately the quality of these panels are not good and are a bad way to spend your money.
Would not buy again and would not recommend buying these panels.

I recently purchased the Topsolar Flexible Solar Panel 100W 24V/12V Monocrystalline Bendable to complement my new Bluetti EB3A power station, and I must say I am impressed with its performance so far. Being here in Tucson, I needed a reliable and efficient solar panel, and this one has delivered on its promises.
The panel’s charging capabilities have been exceptional, allowing my Bluetti EB3A to recharge efficiently even during sunny afternoons. I took a picture on July 30th, 2023, at 2 pm, and the panel was producing a consistent 53W, which seems to be normal for a 100W panel under real-world conditions.
One of the key highlights of this flexible solar panel is its bendable design, which makes it easy to set up in different locations and angles. However, I did notice a slight concern when flexing the panel; some of the strings inside made popping sounds. While this hasn’t affected its functionality so far, I’m uncertain if it’s a sign of potential issues in the long run. I hope Topsolar can address this in future iterations.
Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase. The Topsolar 100W Flexible Solar Panel has been reliable and efficient in charging my Bluetti EB3A, which is crucial for my off-grid power needs. If you’re looking for a durable and high-performing solar panel for your portable power station, I recommend considering this one. However, I would advise checking with the manufacturer regarding the popping sounds during flexing to ensure its longevity.
Pros:
Efficient charging in sunny conditions. Bendable design for easy setup. Compatible with Bluetti EB3A and other power stations.
Cons:
Popping sounds when flexing; potential long-term concerns. Overall, a great purchase for my solar needs in Tucson!

I just got a set of these panels and connected them to my jump 1800 power station. They are producing a steady 70 plus watts each. I originally ordered the portable panels made by the same company as the power station. However at nearly $500 for the same amount of wattage, I was looking for a comparable alternative at a more affordable price. I purchased a different set that claimed 400 watts per panel. Unfortunately when I tested them , they we’re only producing around 60 watts each. Back to Amazon they went and after more research I found these. You can’t beat the price per watt, and they actually perform as promised! They also feel very sturdy and durable. I plan on leaving these outdoors in all weather conditions, which I found out after the fact, that the portable ones are not rated to do. Very happy with the performance. I like them so much I ordered two more right away. I now have double the wattage for less than half the price of the portable ones I had.

I purchased this panels a year ago on Prime day. They arrived and I hooked them up. In direct sun they only produced 50% of rated capacity. My friends system was also only putting out 50% of rated capacity sitting next to mine. They were used a few times on different trips and I didn’t watch them too much. Our last trip, no matter where I put them or how I positioned them, they never pushed more that 3.5 watts. For reference, they are hooked to a Victron MPPT controller and also monitored with a Victron Shunt. Very disappointing. I don’t recommend them.

I saw the ad for these solar panels and had to get some. A whole kilowatt of 100-watt panels (10) weighs only 40 pounds – each solar panel is 4 pounds. The price is also lower than comparable flexible 100-watt panels on the market. Putting these on the roof or on a 4×8 foot sheet of quarter inch plywood makes an easy solar array. These panels have MC4 connectors which is the standard for solar panels, makes it easy to “quick connect” the panels for portable uses such as camping with a solar generator. These solar panels would be perfect for stealth arrays that can move around for people who rent or have HOA’s that prevent a permanent, visible solar array. The plywood array can be used on a sunny day to charge a solar generator and wheeled (or carried) into the garage in the evening. Btw., the 4×8 foot plywood sheet will hold 5 of these panels. That is 500 watts that will weigh 20 pounds, not including the plywood sheet.
