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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'M ON BOAT!: Solar and wind power

PRO:1. MY GOD! It's damn cool! 2. FREE electricity! Okay, stop worrying.3. The size, weight and durability are really good, the technology has come a long way. The aluminum frame is pre-drilled with multiple holes, and being lightweight aluminium, it's easy to thread, drill, etc.5 your own mounting holes. The electronics have a low enough profile on the back that they don't protrude too far, making flush mounting a breeze.6. The glass is thin but strong and you must know the panels from old school, they are so light and easy to manipulate. CONS: 1. Live wires, yes when this thing is under ANY light source the wires are HOT. It should have tape on the ends of the wires, caps, etc. and a label with an indication of this.2. It was sent in the manufacturer's original packaging, that is, just a thin box and foamed cellulose film over glass and a GLASS sticker, yes, the chances of damage/breakage were very high.3. PRICE. If you break that, it's a kick in the balls for what you get. I would be more comfortable paying $40.99 for this size and performance. OTHER: 1. Went to the Big Box Shop and I found some brackets, PVC etc to mount on my little Jon Boat.2. Combine this with a 12V/24V 20A solar charger and you can boat in daylight! 3. BUY if you want your battery(s) to be charged/recharged while out on the water fishing, swimming etc. 4. DO NOT BUY if you want to start a streak. I don't know how I would connect this if I had two or more panels. If anyone wants to post a link to a video or diagram etc. please do not feel free to do so.
