Solar Panel

Great product, very happy with it - I'm getting 180w in good sunlight and 10-40w on cloudy days. Comes with both XT60 and the DC barrel connector (DC5521?) so it plugs straight into a battery pack - I bought it with the Allpowers R600 and it all just worked out of the box - plugged it in, fully charged in a couple of hours. Panels fold up flat, not too heavy (couple of kgs) and easily moved around. Not sure I'd take them on a hike, but in the back of the car for camping it's perfect. It has a couple of ports so you can direct charge DC kit off them without the battery in place. Great value for money (half the price of the other options when I bought it), and the quality seems fine - panels are built into a nylon case which clips together when folded. The power cable and ports go into a zipped pocket.

Absolutely amazing bit of kit. Using it on my Anker F1500. Extremely easy to use. Just unfold it,point it to the sun and plug it in. I was getting above 140w but amazon app wont expect pictures from my phone photo gallery. At 100% it wont work, so u need to make sure you have used some power for it to activate. Thankfully camera roll on the app work.

This solar panel is excellent—well-packaged, high-quality, and most importantly, it works really well. I bought it a while ago to charge my portable power station for my camper van. Since I’m not very technical, I initially didn’t know how to connect it and left it in the boot for some time. When I finally tried it, I was genuinely surprised by the results. Despite very cloudy weather at just 4°C, it charged my 500-watt Jackery power station by 15%, which I didn’t expect at all. The next day, with slightly better weather (14°C and some sun), it charged 55%—which absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was initially torn between this panel and the Jackery 100W solar panel, which costs nearly £170. I went with this one and am really happy with my choice. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the long wait. I had to wait over a month, and I actually forgot about the order. When I checked my orders, I saw it was marked as delivered, even though I hadn’t received it. I contacted the seller, and they quickly sent me a replacement, which arrived fast. Overall, I definitely recommend this solar panel!

I've paired this with a Anker soliux C300. When camping the the Lake District and Cornwall this did a great job keeping the solix topped up and fully charged. I was getting around 60w in full sun. The multiple connections are great so you can charge phones via usb at the same time as using the solar connector. Seems fairly robust, it's easy to set up and the kick back stands set it at just the right angle 👌. I would definitely recommend, great for the price compared to other brands.

I've had the 200W version of this for nearly a year now and am reasonably happy with it. It is well made, lightweight and compact and comes with sufficient connection options. My only gripe with it is the power output. The best I have seen is about 150 Watts output but only very breifly. As soon as the panels warm up in the sun the power output drops quite dramatically. At this very moment in early afternoon and in blazing sunshine I'm only getting 65 Watts. The panels are very hot to touch. If I wipe then down with a cool damp cloth the output jumps to nearly 80 Watts. At 9 am this morning with hazy sunshine low on the horizon and cool panels I got 88 Watts straight away. In spring with much cooler air temperatures they work much better. I'm also running a much smaller folding panel by Topsolar rated at 65 Watt maximum alongside the 200 Watt Panana. When both panels are cool in the morning the 65W panel generates proportionately less power than the big one. At the moment with both panels very hot to touch the 65 Watt panel is generating almost as much as the 200 Watt Panana.

Cheaper than competitors but it works.

Disappointed with the results, bright sunny day saw for a second 143 watts ( I do mean a second) then as the panel warmed the output dropped to between 80 to 105 watts. I wanted a foldable solar panel to charge my new EcoFlow delta 2 max, but not pay EcoFlows price for equivalent wattage, being a 2048wh battery I was looking for a 200 watt panel. I tried it on several days cloudy and full sun, but had low output only 80 to 100w. I have two 50w fixed frame panels and they produced a better output on the cloudy day I tested it. The EcoFlow has MPPT (maximum power point tracking) but it never produced anywhere near the stated output. I didn’t try it on any other charge controller, but as the other panels produced more I doubt it’s the EcoFlow. What I also noticed is the small dings as shown in the picture, the packaging wasn’t damage, so I can only assume this was done in manufacturing. The dings are on all four panels to varying amounts, which could be effecting the output. I was going to buy two of these if they were any good, but I won’t be bothering. As the weather has taken a turn, I don’t think it’s worth trying to return it especially as I don’t have prime, I won’t be able to test any replacement. The good points the charging for USB, and works with my EcoFlow, bad points output and the first panel does flop as the support is to one side due to the cables etc, used the EcoFlow to prop up the panel and shade the EcoFlow. It’s a shame, I assume it’s the luck of the draw if you get a good one, as other reviews have had better output. A good price, but mine didn’t produce anywhere near the claimed output.

Very good quality item easy to set up and use. Works well with my solar powered generator which out a science degree to set it up!
