I purchased a Yeti 400 and the Nomad 100 solar panel. This was for a 4 day camping trip on beach. The first night the battery was fully charged and was running a 12v box fan. The next morning the battery was at 40%. In direct all day sunlight the best input charge I got was between 35-40 watts. This took all day to charge up. I have tried with and without the extension cord. With a battery more than half drained I would expect more watts going into this unit. The same recharge wattage was experienced everyday. It took much more than the 6-8 hours recharge time like the chart advertised. Also I was expecting a more heavy duty connection cord for the battery to the solar panel.

The Nomad100 packed easily in the back of the car. It is easy to set up and connect to the Yeti and as we have had full sun when I needed to use it, I was able to keep the Yeti at full charge for 7 hours. The Nomad was delivering 52WH and the device plugged into the Yeti was drawing that amount. It is a great, if a bit pricy, option for a generator and necessary since many of the outdoor events I go to have started to ban fuel operated generators. Everyone at the last show thought this was brilliant.

I will echo some of other reviews of this product. We had a day in the mountains, 7000 Ft, bright, cloudless summer day. Perfect, high intensity sun. The panel had excellent solar exposure – but – only produced 25-28 Watts of input into our Yeti 400. The panel does work well with GoalZero products. GoalZero has designed a nice set of compatible products. However, you need to plan on only 25-30% of the advertised efficiency. I will keep and use the product, but, it is hard to recommend it to the public based on this experience and the price they are asking. Perhaps their “fixed” solar panel work better. Perhaps this is no different than all other solar panel products — I cannot tell at this point.

This is a nice flexible product, but as various people have said, the power output is well below 100W. At 10,000 ft I briefly managed to get 62W. At 4000 ft, in the desert the maximum was 53W. If you constantly turn it towards the sun, on a clear day you can count on around 50W.

I have several of the Nomad 100 portable panels, and they all work well. I have several of the power stations to go with the panels and everything works as expected. I really like the Goal Zero products and will continue to buy from them.

These are large panels and weigh about 22 lbs each. They generate about 150 w each and must be continuously repositioned to get max performance. Having said that they are a great option if there is no other source to recharge the Goal Zero battery. We use the system for my wife’s oxygen machine when we are “off the grid”. Nice to have that freedom!

Good design and build. Easy to connect, use, employ, etc. Charging performance is very sensitive to strength and direction of sunlight; it’s difficult to understand how sensitive until you use it in the field. Plan on coordinating where you camp and park around access to open sky (which might change from thinking about parking and camping in terms of shade/temperature for comfort in the summer months).

This product performed as expected. It did a great job charging my Yeti 1500X. You do need to pay attention to the angle of the panel relative to the position of the sun to maximize the charge. Would definitely purchase this product again.

It has zero power to use anything more than a single lamp or TV. Can’t run a single tool with it.

So far it has been helpful charging my unit even when it’s cloudy during the day
