Excellent product, but I only gave it three stars because it didn't appear to be as sensitive as smaller versions of similar panels. It produced a good amount of power in direct sunlight, but it struggled in shaded light, unlike some of the smaller ones I tried. It's a little let down. To be fair, my application was a little strange, so it might work better in other situations.
It provides power to my generator. In bright winter sunlight, I measured the output at 23V. The stand could be a little more sturdy, but it gets the job done. Note: A 12v battery must be connected to the controller in order for the USB charger to function.
The only thing I didn't like about it was that you have to fully open the pocket to use the stand on one of the sides. br>I could reach even more than 30w if the sun was right on it and there were no clouds. br>The only thing I didn't like about it was that you have to fully open the pocket to use the stand on one of the sides.
The product is excellent.
It works well after I connected it to a power generator.
In about 45 minutes, I was able to fully charge my portable generator.
I'm not sure why solar panels with a power output of 5 or 10 watts are being sold. Only a basic understanding of Ohm's law is required to explain why. Ohms law says that we multiply volts by amps to get watts. Take a look at a standard phone charger. 5 x 2 = 10 if it outputs 5 volts @ 2 amps (typically listed as 2000 mAh, which is 2 amps). So, in PERFECT CONDITIONS, a 10 watt panel will charge 1 cell phone as quickly as a 2 amp charger. If you have a 3 amp 5 volt charger, you'll need 15 watts just to charge your phone. A 5 watt panel is quickly rendered useless, and a 10 watt panel isn't much better. After that, add clouds. br>br>And many people scratch their heads, wondering why they can't get much done with a 10 watt solar panel. Manufacturers, what is my advice? STOPPING MAKING THEM IS THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP. They are completely ineffective. br>br>This is the panel you're looking for. It's rated at a whopping 60 watts (in less-than-ideal circumstances, figure 50). People, 60 watts can actually accomplish something. The same amount of power as four 3 amp cell phone chargers is delivered by 60 watts. Yes, a proper (keyword) solar panel can charge the entire family's cell phones. br>br>There are aspects of this kit that I adore, as well as aspects that I've already taken steps to eliminate as flaws. The output comes first. It is possible to use 60 watts. Second, the built-in stand is adjustable, allowing you to direct your panels directly at the sun for maximum efficiency; however, if you plan to use it in windy conditions, you may want to invest in something to hold it down, as it provides a large surface area with relatively little weight. A couple of sand bags on the straps that can also be used as stands would be ideal. Last but not least, I appreciate that it includes a variety of connectors for whatever you want to connect it to, as well as a set of alligator clips for connecting to a car battery if necessary. The inclusion of a PWM charge controller is the only thing that bothers me. br>br>The inclusion of a PWM charge controller is the only thing that bothers me. Yes, I understand that this helps them stick to a budget. The only problem is that the smaller the panel, the more you must get OUT of it. To replace the PWM charge controller that came with it, I ordered an MPPT charge controller. This ensures that I get the most out of this handy, portable panel. If you plan on using a charge controller with this, I recommend replacing the stock unit with a 20 or 30A MPPT controller for maximum efficiency. br>br>However, if you're going to use this to charge your portable power bank, you won't be using the included charge controller. This panel simply plugs into my 100W and 300W power banks to charge them without requiring any technical knowledge. Simply plug it in and direct it toward the sun. br>br>So, if you've tried smaller panels and been disappointed, I recommend trying the 60 watt panel from these guys. 5 and 10 watt panels will ALWAYS disappoint. This one provides USEABLE power in a relatively portable form factor, at a reasonable price point, and with a LOT of interconnectivity.
