Pulling in the wattage, it is supposed to. I think the product will hold up but the snaps arent that quality and one of the stand arms broke on the first day. I kind of expected that to happen, but all in all, I’m happy with the product.

The Acacia Green Pulse portable solar panel comes with MC4 connectors attached and a MC4 to XT60 cable (common with many portable power stations. The folded panel measures about 21 3/4″ x 18 1/2″ and opens to be 21 3/4″ x 68 3/4″. The panel has a built in sun gauge to help you align the panel perfect to the sun and foldout kickstands to achieve the right angle. It weighs in at 9.4 lbs. The panel uses snaps to hold the sections together and the kickstands stored and magnets to hold the handles together making it easier to carry.
Testing the unit on a hot (93 degrees F) partly cloudy day, I was able to get over 86 W (only able to photograph 85.38). For those who may not know, solar panels are less efficient the higher the temperature.
I like that this is a high power portable solar panel (rated to 120W), compatible with a range of portable power stations up to 1500 W (check your specific power station solar specs), that it is IP67 weatherproof and very portable. This is a good panel for camping, boating and emergency power backup. I think it is very reasonably priced.

I tested this at 3pm on a clear day in august and got 112 watts, dropping to 108 watts as the panel heated up.
I’ve seen a lot of reviews of panels in the 100 to 200 watt range and most deliver approximately 70% of advertised wattage. At 112 Watts, this came out to a dollar per watt (I paid 110 with a discount).
The panels are fairly rigid and the stands are good, however the stands don’t allow the panels to tilt back enough for midday summer sun. Lacks USB port outputs, but all other features are better than most panels on Amazon.

I’ve only had it for about 2 weeks now and I’ve used it and it works effortlessly. All you hav to do is set it up and aim it towards the sun and plug it into a power station . It’s important to note you won’t always get the full 120volts input, but I’ve gotten pretty high 90s for the most part. I’m sure it’ll get higher if I go out on a very sunny hot day and play with the aim. The product is fairly priced compared to EcoFlow and it is sold and shipped by Amazon so that’s why I trusted it and gave them a try. Very durable product well built and I will keep doing updates as to how it holds up over the next coming months to years. EcoFlow sells their portable solar panel for a whopppng 450 dollars. That’s insane. Definitely give this company and product a try, I haven’t been disappointed so far.

Peaked at 112 watts in full morning sunlight, using the angle finder. Setup is easy. I moved the panel 3 times in 7 hours to track the sun and maintained the charge on my EB3A power bank at 100%, while running a 200w soldering gun for roughly 5 minutes at a time. Waterproof rating is a huge plus. The 60 watt panel I tried before this was insufficient, and wasn’t waterproof. The extra ports found on competing panels don’t allow much waterproofing. Use this with your portable power station, not for a hike in the woods. This is an incredible deal!!!! No regrets.

If you’re looking for a solar panel that folds up neatly, is easy to transport and also delivers on power, look no further!
I connected this panel to an EcoFlow Delta 2, aimed in the general direction of the sun and started getting about 90 watts right away. With a little fussing, I could get more watts out of it (close to 100), but knowing that getting the nominal watts is rare, I’m really happy with its output!
The panel itself is just under 10 pounds, and folds into a nice size that is not at all awkward to carry. The handles are made of hard plastic so you don’t feel like you’re damaging the panel as you move it, unlike some other brands. The built-in legs are a little awkward to use, but I find it just as easy to lean the panel against something to get the perfect angle. There are also evenly-spaced grommets, so you could easily attach this semi permanently to the top of a camper or other flat surface.
The panel comes with standard MC-4 connectors attached, so it works for many applications out of the box. Many solar generators require an XT60 cable or similar, but they usually come with the appropriate cable to connect to MC-4. If yours doesn’t, you might need to purchase an extra cable to work for your application.
I’ve tested other portable panels, and this has a lot of little extra features that put it a notch above: the reflector dome to help you position for the optimal angle is one. Snaps for the panel sections is another.
I’m impressed and happy with this great little solar panel!
