I got 8 of these solar panels for the emergency power station I built for my Ham Radio gear, they are just what I needed.

I really like that these panels Really put out what they say they will.

Great solar product

Hallo, ich habe nun 2 dieser Panele. Das Panel an sich ist ordentllich verarbeitet, gut aufzustellen, die PV Leistung ist nach meinem Empfinden gut. Meine Beaudens Power Bank geht auch bei leichter Sonne im März sofort auf 45-48 Watt Ladeleistung. Mehr kann sie eh nicht aufnehmen. Der beigelegte Solar Laderegler funktioniert, wirkt aber extrem billig, eine Anzeige der Ladeleistung fehlt, es wird nur die Spannung der Batterie angezeigt. Hier war unbedingt ein Upgrade notwendig. Ich habe auf ein Produkt aus dem Hause Victron gesetzt, bei dem ich auch die Panele in Reihe schließen kann um mit der höheren Spannung geringere Kabelquerschnitte verwenden zu können. In Verbindung mit dem Victron Regeler werden die 2 Panele mit den 200 Watt dann meine WoWa Batterie mit 93 Ah laden. Wie haltbar die Panele sind wird die Zeit offenbaren, aus meiner heutigen Sicht ist der Preis für die Tasche mit den Anderson Steckern sehr gut, auch ohne Verwendung des mitgelieferten Reglers. Mit einem guten MPPT Regler (In der Beaudens eingebaut) ist die Panelleistung selbst jetzt im März schon ordentlich, ich bin gespannt auf den Sommer.
Im nun angeschafften Set habe ich die Möglichkeit 1 Panel mit der Beaudens für den Betrieb von Kühlbox, Handy, Tablet mitzunehmen, was bei gutem Wetter problemlos reicht. Mit den 2 Panelen, dem Victron im Wohnwagen und der großen AGM Batterie ist autarkes Stehen problemlos möglich, solange es nicht tagelang regnet. Der große Vorteil der Solartaschen ist die gute Ausrichtung zur Sonne welche viel mehr Ertrag bietet als feste Solarflächen auf dem Dach. Das Mobilheim steht schön im Schatten und die Panele sind mit ein paar Metern Kabel in der prallen Sonne positioniert. Wer auch in Abwesenheit laden möchte kann ja die Solartaschen diskret auf das Dach legen. so flach wie diese sind, fallen sie nicht auf und werden dann eher nicht entwendet.

Very durable solar panel that works. Straightforward installation and use. I can’t wait to grab a few more to install at my parent’s house to get them on the road to self sufficiency.

I bought 4 panels and connected 2 panels and the other 2 panels in parallel and in a series to achieve 24V. Input display on the generator shows the input wattage & voltage lines up as advertised on the solar panels. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great light weight – lighter than the 3 amorphous lower wattage panels I replaced with it!
I have other solar configurations, and this panel is best value of all. I used it with 1,000 watt inverter to power the water filter head on my Aqua Ox which uses 24 volt transformer. I wanted to test this configuration, and also abandon the outlet sharing the 240 volt pump (1/2 leg). I mounted it horizontally to old panels’ frame (panels were old and one broken by hurricane). I am very pleased with my “trial” configuration, and will use same for my wired storage shed, which is currently not connected to power source…

I tested all 4 panels on a day with sky filled with a chemical spray haze from continual chemical-trailings by high altitude jets. All four panels consistently put out 58 to 62 Watts, which is not bad for a sky filled with a chemical haze.
Will install, connect to an MPPT controller, and test further on days when the sky is actually blue and clear of chemicals (like it was in 1966), if those who control our world will allow such a rare event to occur.

First off, I am new to solar panels and solar energy. It is possible that I was not doing something right and if that is the case I will come back and update this review. It was a nice clear day, about 60 degrees, I set up the panel at about 9am, the sun was still low in the sky. I moved it several times trying to find the best output, the most I was able to get was about 12 watts. I was just about to box it up and send it back, but I wanted to see how much better it would get. I set the angle according to my zip code and pointed the panel directly at the sun.
As the sun got higher in the sky the wattage improved to 30 watts, then to 40, and finally when the sun was at it’s highest I finally got 80 watts, but just for a few minutes then it went back down into the 70s, which is where it stayed for most of the afternoon. I still had to go out occasionally and move the panel to point directly at the sun. It started getting very windy so I abandoned further testing. My conclusion is, unless I was doing something wrong, or maybe when we get into summer it will improve, this panel only works well when it is a very clear day and the sun is highest in the sky, when it is cloudy or the sun is lower in the sky, they don’t put out very much wattage.
Like I said, if I was doing something wrong, or this improves as we get into summer, I will update this. Maybe this is the way all solar panels work, maybe I was expecting too much? I would welcome any comments to this review because at this point, I would not recommend these panels because I just think they do not produce enough wattage when the conditions are not perfect, or at least very ideal.
UPDATE: I decided to return the panel and will be ordering monochrystalline panels instead. Rich Solar was very understanding and helpful in this decision. These are well constructed panels and if you have full sun and no shade problems I am sure they are an excellent choice. But if you have trees and limited full sun the monochrystalline panels are more efficient and a better choice.
