Review on 🌞 Efficient Newpowa 50W Solar Panel for Battery Charging on Boats, RVs, Campers, SUVs, and Off-Grid Applications by Dean Wildfang

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as much as I was hoping

So I got this solar panel, Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500, solar to 8mm adapter and 20ft solar extension cord to power the fan for my greenhouse. Everything is very well tolerated, we have very good sun here in the desert, so solar power is a reasonable option. Unfortunately, this solar panel is not enough. Jackery has a real time watt meter and before I installed this solar panel I moved it around a bit on the second day trying to get it up to 50 watts and the max I could get was 45 so keep that in mind back of head. Intelligence. It's a 45 with perfect sun exposure with a brand new panel but free of any dust, dirt or water stains. I would say that on a typical sunny day this panel charges the jackety up to 47%, less than 250 watts in 9 hours on a bright sunny day. Unfortunately, that's not enough for my greenhouse fan. I did a little searching and found Lowe's offering a 100w solar panel for $79.99 + tax with free shipping. It even arrived a day earlier than I expected. I'll swap out the solar panels and use Newpowa for something smaller and less important.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I'll write later
