Description
- [Excellent flexibility] ECO-WORTHY’s flexible solar panel has good flexibility and can be installed on RVs, boats, cabins, tents, cars, trucks, trailers, yachts, roofs, or any other irregular surfaces
- [Ultra thin and lightweight] Using advanced polymer materials, it is 70% lighter than traditional glass solar panels, making transportation and installation easier
- [Increase 30% power generation] Upgrade from 100W to 130W, increase power generation by 30%. Generate 520Wh max per day under 4hs full sunshine
- [Waterproof] The junction box and diodes have been pre-installed, and are sealed and waterproof. The solar panel comes with a pair of 2.9Ft cables, which can connect multiple panels in series or in parallel
- [Easy-Installation] 4 metal-reinforced installation holes are pre-drilled on the edge of the solar panel, which is easy to install. It can be fixed by adhesive, silicone, double-sided tape, cable tie or Velcro, which is very suitable for non-permanent installation

Bought for camping to keep my 1.2kwh LFP power bank charged while I’m out riding my eMtb. On a clear 85 degree day, just after peak sun with the panel temp at 138 degrees, this panel’s output is 105kw, or 81% of rated power. This is the same percentage as my high-output rooftop solar array. I charged my power bank from 91-99% in just one hour.

So I got this during Prime days. To be mounted on my pickup to power my power station. Have tested it twice now and can’t see it breaking 100 watts. Ran it against my BougeRV 100 watt panel. The results.
BougeRV panel. Ecoflow power station 82watts
BougeRV panel. BLUETTI power station. 89 watts
Eco-worthy panel. Ecoflow power station. 90 watts
Eco-worthy panel. BLUETTI power station. 96 watts
So basically a difference of 6-7 watts between the two. These tests were done at high sun with the panel tilted directly towards the sun on a cloudless day. Of course you’re never going to get full value but this Eco-worthy panel should be rated at 100-110 watts.
Now value wise, I guess it would be worth it as the BougeRV panel is at $125 right now and this one is at $90. I just wish they would be more truthful in there ratings. Also my issue is I needed a 24” wide panel and this one is 3” too big.

Under full overhead sun, the most wattage from each panel was 50 watts, as measured by my solar generator.

works well. I will mount this on my bicycle trailer.

Perfect for a small project. Thank you for a good product with a good price. Keep the good work.

I just ordered another one of these panels, they work great.
I’ve used other Echo Worthy panels and products in the past, only had an issue with one item and Echo Worthy “promptly replaced it,” with very few questions asked.

This is a very thin and lightweight (<5lb) flexible solar panel, so thin and flexible that it has trouble standing up on its own leaned against a wall. In terms of power output to weight ratio, this is perhaps the lightest 120-130W panel I've seen. Performance is quite good; it had no trouble going straight to 95W output in good sun (while still cool), and can probably go over 100W output if fixed on a rigid surface and properly angled toward the sun. This is respectable performance, though I would say probably more accurately described as a 120W rather than a 130W panel since performance is very similar to other 120W semi-flexible panels.
I do have two issues with this panel, one applies to this type of panel in general and the other specific to this one:
– The two MC4 output cables coming out of the black plastic box on the front have no strain relief whatsoever; it’s important not to pull / twist hard on these cables or put significant weight on them, or the cable can break internally causing poor connection or (in one case I’ve seen) rip out of of the box entirely rendering the panel useless. I suggest securing the cables to the two mounting holes on the top with strong zip ties, so any strain is at least not entirely borne at the outlet hole of the box.
– This panel has poor mounting options: 4 holes drilled at the far corners only, which can’t bear significant force with how close to the edge they are. I have another similarly sized flexible panel that has no less than 7 mounting holes PLUS 8 slots cut along the periphery, and provided with 7 carabiners (for the holes) and 8 strips of metal-buckled Velcro straps for use with the slots. This Eco-worthy panel has none of these. Given how thin and light it is, if you want to mount it on a vehicle securely, you pretty much have no choice but to use glue, which in turn makes removal and cleanup messy and difficult.
So, in short: good performance, big fan of the flexibility and thin, light-weight design, not liking the lack of proper vehicle mount options.

Great communication and service from Eco-Worthy! I ordered 6 panels and they had an issue with the product on hand, so instead of shipping something that was not good, they expedited the next batch they received. They work very well and I am getting between 95-110 Watts per panel in Northern Wisconsin. I highly recommend the panels knowing that they stand behind them.
