Updated Information: After writing the original review below (which was a three-star review) I was promptly contacted by ACOPOWER customer service and offered a replacement product as an apology for the quality issues with the non-factory wiring job with the controller. I accept ACOPOWER’s explanation that the unit I received had some modifications performed in their LA office and not in their main China factory. It should not be difficult for them to improve the quality of the wire connections to the controller if done in a factory with the right tools and supplies. It should be a simple issue. As I note below, I really do like all other aspects of this solar panel, and I like the LCD controller. I have changed my review to 5-stars due to the excellent customer service and an obvious commitment by the company to maintain a quality reputation. I have not updated the photos. I may add new photos in the future the next time I use the panels.
Original Review: If you cannot repair wire splices or crimp connectors at the end of wires, and properly insulate them, then you may very well be returning this unit due to faulty wiring at the controller. Other than the wiring, I really like this unit, particularly the LCD controller. The frame is very solid. I liked the use of the Anderson connection at the end of the cable for the battery (also comes with an Anderson x aligator clips adapter). The case is nice (keep the box for extra storage protection). I like the controller, which allows you can toggle the display to show the output Amps, Amp-hours, and battery voltage. This is key to troubleshoot and evaluate performance. Although, I have not seen more than 80 Watts output and I used it in full sun in mid day. Hopefully it can ultimately go higher. Other than my experience with the terrible wiring end connections, I recommend this unit.
I recommend to purchase the Go Power 7-pin x Anderson adapter to allow you to connect to solar panel to the battery through the main electrical pig-tail of the RV–more convenient than opening the battery boxes. Also, I recommend the Go Power Anderson x Anderson 10 gauge extension cable. These two items are excellent quality.
Upon receiving the ACOPOWER foldable 100W solar panel with 20A LCD controller, I set it up and hooked it to my RV to test in my driveway at home, in June. After operating for 24 hours I noticed the red and black wires connected at the controller, (leading towards battery), were simply falling out of the crimped terminal connector and the black electrical tape loosely wrapped around these crimped connections was melting and smoking. It was hot out, 95 degrees F, but this was not the cause of the problem. Crimped connections don’t fail due to heat, unless they are held in only with electrical tape rather than properly crimped. They may have tried to crimp a connector one size too large? Because I found all other aspects of the solar panel to be quite good, I decided to fix the wiring myself and avoid the hassle of a return. I cleaned up the wire ends, removed the electrical tape, crimped on quality connectors, and completed the job with some solid heat shrink tubes. Wire ends better than new. I have attached some photos of the best two wire ends that did NOT fail, before and after I removed the electrical tape (heat shrink tubing would normally be used in a factory installation to insulate and protect from strain, not electrical tape). I cut the ends off of these wires and started over with new fork connections.

This is a pre-lim review as I have not set up the unit. More reviews will follow. Those who desire to travel with a solar set-up may be interested in my reviews. As a former mariner I chose Acopower due to the possibility it will hold up under harsh wet conditions and can take a pounding stored in a vehicle (f350 cutaway) while underway OTR. The panels arrived very quickly. For those who understand the limitations posed by living in a very rural area, they use UPS. As you know other companies seem unable to deliver anywhere but in a city. All my queries were answered within 24hrs. I intend to use this unit to charge a third battery (back-up) and a power station- Jackery Explorer 1000W. The suitcase is marvelous. Two bits of advice may be handy- Get the extension. Unless your battery is at ground level (or you are willing to haul one around) you will need the extension. The line with the battery clips is 18″ (not including the clamps). The extension will provide more opportunity to access good sun and alleviate having to haul heavy power stations or batteries. The connector to use on a power station ie Jackery/Goal Zero etc., does not come with the order. It needs to be purchased separately. This is all I have to offer atm. Once I set it up I will come back here with some pics.

I have been wanting a solar panel set for a long time now and finally made the jump. I have been researching for a long time and had a list of features I wanted and needed. I wanted 100W with the possibility to expand with more power in the future. It had to have a battery charger/controller that was versatile and would handle a wide array of batteries. The panels had to be lightweight, compact, easy to transport and set up. They also had to be as complete as possible so I wouldn’t have to buy more components to use them. The ACOPower ProteusX fills all of those needs and more. These are VERY efficient and work even in low light conditions. I couldn’t wait to try them out and set them up in front of our biggest window that also gets the most sunlight. I then hooked up my portable power station to them and watched it go to work. Everything I needed was included. The power station immediately recognized the solar panels and started charging. The panels were not even outside. I can connect just about any battery to the built in charger and use the sunlight to charge them. We have an RV and this is where they will really get the most use. You have to travel light when in an RV. These are light, and can be easily stored. They have a rugged protective case that keeps them safe until use. I simply plug them into the solar power plug on my RV and I can now go off grid and have power. These solar panels along with my power station give me freedom to get out and go places with my RV that I couldn’t go to before. And now for an extended time. I have found the panels I long wanted and I am happy with them. They work great and will provide me with the power needed without any worries. They get and deserve 5 stars. They are also one of the best values in solar panels I found.

I am using this to boost the battery in my travel trailer. It works, and the protective suitcase is durable and well designed. I wish these things could be folded up more, as even folded in half this thing is pretty large. There is no obvious good place to store it, so it sits on the floor of the camper when we travel.
