Goal Zero Boulder 100 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel

It is expensive to buy Goal Zero products. You can buy solar panels for 100 watts for less than that As an example, let us consider Renology. The Goal Zero panel I use works great and an adapter from Goal Zero makes it possible for it to be charged directly by my Yeti backpack. Why does this one appeal to you? There are a number of reasons for this This device has a very strong frame and comprehensive protection for the panels, so that you can charge two yeti's at the same time instead of one at a time. Connected to Goal Zero products, the connector is quite versatile you can use it with anything else - on any type of device. It is something that should be taken into account. When you keep your device in the shade and the panel in the sun, the wire is long enough to allow you to keep the panel in the shade. The reason I bought it was because of its quality build. It's hard not to be impressed by the quality of their products. Here's a new way to put it It is built in China, but it is designed at their place in Utah, and their quality control is outstanding, and their customer service is outstanding. I am not impressed with the stand itself. One can either prop the flap fully open or leave it closed with this device. It would be great to have something that would allow me to adjust the angle of the panel to the sun more easily. That is why a star is taken away from it. In the end, I will purchase a Renology panel for my camper because it's lighter weight and will be easier to mount on top of my camper. There will be no need to ship this.

Although some people complain that Goal Zero panels are ripoffs, if you compare them with other comparable options they are actually less expensive than All of these ingredients make up a solid panel -- monocrystalline high quality panels, beefy aluminum case with reinforced corners, nice carry handle, beefy legs, waterproof connector box. Although it is not super light, it's easy to use and transport due to the folding size. Plugged into my MPPT input on my Yeti 1000, I was able to get from this up to 70 watts (80 watts is probably closer to the maximum). Getting flexible panels should not be taken for granted This rigid panel will last for 30 years as opposed to the flexible ones that will fail quickly I have been working for over 40 Among the drawbacks are Please note *be careful since the panels on the outside of the carrying case are unzipped*-- The carrying case is a flimsy sheath that won't unzip fully. A kickstand with a 45 degree tilt is helpful, but a 60 degree tilt would be much better for winter in New England (using yoga blocks under each foot works quickly)*furthermore, we want our kickstand to tilt about 60 degrees in winter. It uses a GZ 8mm cable, which is great if you own a GZ yeti as it's waterproof and solid. If you do not own a GZ yeti, you'll need to buy adapters. Because the cables are short, you may want to use extension cables of up to 15 feet, In addition, combine panels of 8mm into the Anderson connector to take advantage of the high gauge wire in that extension cable Cables that are 8mm in diameter are expected to lose a lot of power.

In addition to using this, I also utilized a Goal Zero Yeti 150 for a 3 day camping trip. With direct sunlight and 10% cloud coverage, and an ambient temperature around 90 degrees F, I was able to fill the Yeti with 100% fuel within 3 hours with direct sunlight and no heat sources. Though I'm not sure how much the temperature impacts the performance, I thought it would be worth mentioning. There is a fair amount of weight on the body and its build quality is solid. Although the price is a bit steep, it is well worth it for the convenience and quality of build.

I have no problem keeping my ARB refrigerator cold with this. The Goal Zero Yeti 400 is recommended for this. A solar panel was tested during the course of my job this week. This is on the roof of my truck, and I've managed to get a maximum of 34 watts from it! My fridge was kept up with and even my Yeti was charged. I'm sure it will keep me running the fridge for years to come. My only reason for buying the panel is to use it to run the fridge. I don't plan on using any additional devices that might add to the strain. I'll write a review after my 3 week trip to Utah in September!.

A low-temperature day in winter is convenient in a number of ways It was able to recharge the Yeti at a rapid pace due to the high elevation sun. As I was folding up the solar panels, I put the plastic bag and the stayrofoam packing boards into the convenient carrying case to protect them from bumps and dings, since the solar cells are facing outwards.

It is hard to find a product that I don't like at Goal Zero. My old Boulder 90 is still in use, and now I have added the new Boulder 100. Due to the fact that the Yeti 1000 I own charges faster with two solar panels, I purchased the Boulder 100. Rather than chain them, I plug them into separate input ports. It's nice to know that the Yeti 1000 can be charged in multiple ways. Mounted permanently on my Boulder 90 is a Boulder 90. Boulder 100 can move around outside both in the morning and in the evening, allowing it to take advantage of different angles. The portability is good, but the weight is a bit of a problem. Although it's not as powerful as the Boulder 50, I am considering purchasing it partly because of its portability. since I live in northern New England, where the electricity goes out five or six times a year, for either days or weeks at a time. Since I move the Boulder 100 around in my yard, I bought the 8-meter system. The extension cable has a 0MM INPUT and a 30FT length. As soon as I got the Boulder 100 I realized I needed the cable, and I wished I'd bought it at the same time. To ask goals zero questions, you can either call them on the phone Monday through Friday, or you can ask them online during their operational hours. There is a lot of help available from them. Company is great, and I only have good things to say. Though I consider the products to be expensive, I believe that they are worth the price. Additionally, I try to buy open box products from their website since they are cheaper.

It works, but has a few significant limitations. I bought it for a Goal Zero Yeti 1000, and it recharges it very well. There is no locking mechanism on the legs, and their size is fixed. When you don't want to work for that particular company, you only have one choice. A tough job. When it came to charging, I found that it was very Charges, but for no particular reason, the input will drop to zero, then I need to "reset" the unit to get it to charge Having bought it expecting it to be a plug and forget system, I ended up spending a lot of time checking it was charging, and adjusting the panel position to ensure it got a peak charge. As far as the case goes, it comes in a nice container, but it's not designed so easily to be taken on and off, so I'd recommend using two people to use it. Warning. . . it's heavy and if you have back problems, you should keep that in mind.
