Worked as expected. Very expensive in comparison to other 200 watt panels on the market. Bought it to charge my Bluetti EB3A. In full sun it was charging at 170 watts, which is the max for the Bluetti with this panel. I returned it and bought the Allpowers 200 mono panel and received 152 watts, but almost half the cost.

I received my solar panel yesterday but the panel is definitely not new. The adhesive tape closing the box had been added and moreover the panel was directly in the box with nothing to protect it, no bag around it, no styrofoam and no user manual and warranty card. I thought I bought a new PV120 and was simply sold a used panel.

This PV unit was purchased to keep my Bluetti AC200Max topped off. It’ll run full wattage in bright daylight, and is reasonably sensitive in less than perfect conditions. I was surprised by how heavy it was, but it does fold up nicely and has a handle for carrying it. You can easily stow it and use whenever necessary. It does not come with any kind of “stand” so if the sun is not directly overhead, you’ll want to find something to prop it up against to get the best angle.

I’m learning to use solar and this is a great intro. I only wished it came with a case or strap. Handle is nice, but needs a strap. Luckily there are riveted hole you can add your own carry strap, which I did to make carrying easier.

I like the fact that I get close to 200 W in good sun. I don’t like the flimsy stands.

Pannello da 120 super professionale compatibile con tutti i prodotti bluetti niente a che vedere con quelli che si trovano che costano un po’ meno ma se va bene rendono la metà possibilità di collegare più pannelli tra di loro. Acquisto consigliatissimo lasciate stare il resto. Tempi di consegna un po’ lunghi perché arriva direttamente dalla casa madre ma vale la pena aspettare. Servizio Amazon come sempre impeccabile.

I bought this to charge our Jackery Explorer SoGens (1000, 500 & 300) when the hard mounted 100w panel on our rooftop tent is shaded or blocked. Overall I am happy with it. I chose this panel vs Jackery’s 100w foldable panel for a few major reasons.
The Positives: At the time of purchase this panel was a better value at dollars per watts + rated 20 watts more than Jackery’s panel – has standard MC4 plug ends – folds down into a smaller footprint vs Jackery’s – The BIGGEST plus is that the cells are wired in parallel, which means any shading or partial blocked panels will NOT totally cut production of all the panels like it would with Jackery’s that are wired in series.
The Negatives – it is longer than the Jackery when unfolded. This panel feels quite heavy at 12+lbs.
When plugged into the Jackery Explorer 1000 on a clear sunny SoCal Day in October I was able to pull in 105+/- watts. It took roughly 6-1/2 minutes on average to raise the Jackery one % point at that wattage input. (with nothing else drawing power from the Jackery) So this panel would roughly raise the Jackery from 80 to 100% in a little over 2 hours at that wattage input. (On a hazy sunny November day I pulled in 95-98 watts) The panel feeds a steady 80+/- watts to our Jackery 300 on clear sunny days. Can’t remember what wattage it supplied to the Explorer 500 but will update after next use.
The materials & panels seem to be sturdy and of high quality. The 3 adjustable feet on the back of the panels seem to work well and are easy to adjust. The ten feet of 14 AWG wire (would have preferred larger 12 AWG wire) stores easily in the zippered pocket. Other reviewers have complained about this panel not being able to be left out in the rain. With no USB ports I feel this panel will be less prone to water / moisture ingress… but with such poor energy production during a rain storm why risk the damage?
Again, I am happy with this panel overall. It has seen a lot of use over the last three years. I will update this review with any issues or further observations that may be important to share with potential buyers.
***Please keep in mind*** – Don’t expect panel ever produce the full rated wattage. Take the panels watt rating and multiply it by 75-90% (higher quality panel = higher % of production). Also, if charging your SoGen or a battery through a charge controller – once the battery level hits 80-90% it will throttle down the input wattage (usually down to 20w or less). The panel is NOT defective! Your BMS is trickle charging the top end of your batteries and preventing damage to them. Hope this review helps.

My power unit takes a maximum of 900 watts solar input. I already had 2 of the 350 watt panels. This 200 watt unit now gives me the maximum capacity to charge my MAX Bluetti.

Does not perform as expected, far from the 200w capability. For the price of that unit, a bit disapointing.

I got this plus the EB55 so I could have power in case of the electrical grid going down. Someday, I’d like to get a whole house system, but today is not that day.
It was $1k (including taxes) for both this panel *and* the EB55 battery, which I thought was pretty good.
Thoughts:
Yeesh, this panel is HEAVY! When I first picked it up, I was shocked. The battery is just as heavy. I thought, “Definitely not very portable!”
I still wouldn’t want to go on a 10-mile hike with these, lol, but honestly, I’ve grown to appreciate the weight. I live in a very windy area, and although I’m careful not to put it outside when we’re under a wind advisory, I will say that it’s been outside during some pretty impressive windy days, and it’s never pitched this system over. The weight keeps it from tumbling into the next county over, and I appreciate that.
It charges Mr Blue (what I named my EB55 battery) quickly, and also does through charge where it’ll charge and discharge at the same time.
For those people who are upset that the system isn’t waterproof, I don’t know what to say. This is a portable system. I never had the slightest expectation that it’d be waterproof. 🤷🏻♀️ If you want that, go install a $15k solar system.
In the meanwhile, I use this daily, just bc I find it fun to go set it up outside and then see how many items I can charge off it in a day. I’m enjoying having this system to play with, bc #🤓
Have fun with it!

Just received and tested this product on a 70 degree Florida day with mix of bright sun and heavy cloud cover. I thought nothing could match my Xtar SP 100, where I got 118 watts on a 100 watt rated panel on a similar day. I was OVERWHELMED…..and overjoyed!!!!!! During the bright patches, the 120 watt rated Bluetti was pumping out 129 watts!!!! When the sky was completely cloud covered, it was still delivering 50 watts, which is what my 120 watt Coocheer would deliver on its BEST days!!!!! The build is excellent!!!! Compare that to the Coocheer, where the build is excellent…….but the performance SUCKS!!!!!

Bluetti PV120 solar panel. This panel excels in making the advertised watts. On cold sunny January days it would charge at 122 watts. Now on sunny days in May I’m pulling 125W and 129W. I have this panel charging a Bluetti EB3A. The EB3A has an app to so I can keep an eye on its status. I wish I saved some pictures from cloudy days because I was even pulling 20 to 25W with clouds.
I like how it folds up, stores the cables and sets up. I’v gotten efficient on setting it up and putting it away from use. Its not rain proof which is a downer. It has flipped over on windy days so I now have some weights I place on the legs which really helped. It might be best to just lay it flat on the ground when its very windy.
Only time will tell how durable it will be. But for now I can recommend this solar panel.

This not a light item. Do not expect a child to be able to move it. On the other hand the handle and clips make it very easy to use and move.
