I wish the manufacturer included mounting hardware but the actual solar panel is excellent. It delivers the rated wattage and works nicely even under cloudy conditions to keep my DIY 18650 based 12v Li-Ion Battery pack topped off on a daily basis. I am running Aquarium pump 24hrs a day using this DIY solution.
Oh by the way, I did use a
Renogy Wanderer 10 Amp Solar charge controller
to safeguard against overcharging of the Li-Ion battery pack on very bright sunny days. Having said that, Just like other reviewers who has commented, I too had some difficulty in mounting this on a roof. I had to improvise and got some additional mounting hardware from local store and drilled additional holes to mount this on roof.
If you are handy and do not mind finding your own mounting brackets then for the asking price the solar panel is surely worthy of the price.
Rating the product with four stars!

I bought two NewPowa panels for a solar-powered automatic door on my chicken coop. The first one was a polycrystalline model (same wattage, slightly larger); that one was harder to install, since the holes on the panel frame weren’t quite big enough and had to be tapped out for the mounting screws which came with the (separately purchased) mounting brackets.
This one, the monocrystalline model, had holes which didn’t require any extra drilling, but I did still have to buy the mounting hardware separately. And it’s a bit tricky to install; holding the nut inside the frame while arranging the bracket and bolt would be easier with a third hand, and there’s not a lot of room. But it’s doable.
The panel itself seems quite sturdy, and so far is putting out reliable power.
You can get the mounting brackets from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0819MJ33Q
I’m using the two panels with this charge controller and a 12V lead-acid battery: https://www.amazon.com/SolarSynthesis-Controller-Waterproof-Lead-Acid-Discharge/dp/B07FCS2P4B

It has been working with my battery tender for over a year now, no issues.

i have bought 2 of these, at separate times. I bought the first one to charge a 6ah 12v battery in my shed to power some 12v fans on a temperature circuit to keep it ventilated in the heat. I just bought a 2nd one as a upgrade to add extra power for some more fans, and fitted to the solar controller i bought these keep both batteries fully charged even when fans are running all day, even on days where the weather isn’t ideal. My only gripe is how hard to mount they are. The screw holes are to hard to get to, so i ended up bounding them to the shed roof. I guess they are made to fit a rack, and i was unable to find one that worked. Well worth the money, but must be fitted with controller because peak unloaded power is 22v, (normal for a solar panel incase you didn’t know) so it would kill a 12 volt battery without one.

Easy to connect and provides enough power to keep a gate charged.

Works great at maintaining a rarely used vehicle of mine. When it keeps it topped off on voltage, I get away with leaving the battery in the vehicle in cold Wisconsin winters, and it never dies out. Remember to have a charge controller, so as to not over charge the battery. Stop reading reviews and just get this done before winter. It will be your friend and take care of you.

The panel itself feels like good quality – nice and sturdy and I’m getting a great charge on my little 32ah deep cycle on my enclosed trailer. I previously had a tiny 3watt solar panel, and it just wasn’t enough to keep the battery topped off. With two of these 10watt panels charging at over 1amp, it should have no problems keeping up now. Looks great installed and feels very sturdy.
One big issue that turned what should have been a 30 minute install into a 3hr ordeel was that it didn’t come with any hardware to mount it! I knew this when I bought it but just thought I’d look for a bracket kit with good reviews. The problem is the screws with that bracket kit we’re all too long to work with this panel. I had to cut every bolt, then clean the threads up. Took forever and could have been avoided if this panel simply came with nuts and bolts that fit the holes in this panel. Might have cost an additional $1 for the manufacturer to include this simple & helpful hardware. That’s the ONLY reason this product doesn’t deserve a 5 star.
