Review on 🔆 RINKMO Portable Solar Panel - 50W Solar Battery Charger with Light Sensing, 2-4 Parallel Support for Enhanced Power (Max 200W), Waterproof IP65, Ideal Solar Generator for Camping and RV by Corey Owens

This is no ordinary portable solar panel. Think of it like a roof panel that you can put in a suitcase and take with you. I'm describing it that way because it's a next-level panel that does more than just keep your car battery charged or provide enough power to charge your phone. I have a 100 watt panel mounted on the roof of our caravan but this panel just hasn't been enough to fully charge us lately. So I got this because it gives me a 50 percent boost when I hook it up to my trailer's charging system, and it still gives me the option to take it anywhere, even without a trailer, or keep it as a ready-to-go item use. I'm in Florida). To reduce our carbon footprint alone, I can go to the yard and charge batteries, power stations and car batteries. Even on a cloudy day when the intensity levels were only 0-5%, I still got 10-18 watts, and when the intensity hit 40 or 50, the output increased to 30 watts. - 35 W. The numbers speak for themselves, but you can see that these are watt-hours that I do not pay to the utility. Of course, the panel is only part of the package. I chose this particular kit because it came with a really nice carrying case and almost every type of connector you can think of. Unlike computers with a standard USB interface, for some reason battery and solar panel manufacturers still produce devices with multiple types of connectors. Some use old SAE automotive connectors, some use more modern MC4 connectors, and still others simply use a cylindrical DC connector, which of course comes in many different sizes. So it's very handy to have all these types of connectors available when I set up the panel. So far I'm impressed with the panel's features and in no particular order here are the ones that stand out: • Brightness meter/indicators. – Helps to position the panel at the optimal angle. • Attached stand on the back of the panel. - It is foldable but durable and easy to adjust. • I mentioned included plugs. - Stop worrying about panel connectivity. • The panel also has USB and USB-C ports, so I don't even need a buck converter or a dedicated mobile charger. • Upgradable – Can be daisy chained to create a larger array. • Good carrying case. - The panel does not fold, but can be stored horizontally or vertically in a limited space. Note on "Light Intensity” readings; The sensor itself is separate from the solar panel, it's a small sensor on the handle just below the paragraph 2 printed on it. This is noticeable because the handle flexes and folds, so you need to make sure it's level with the panel when you do it. Again, try to maximize your exposure to sunlight. I have a power plant with the same color scheme as this solar panel. , so I was drawn to the idea of making a kit out of it. However, the panel is extremely efficient (as mentioned above) and I keep finding more things to charge with it. It's a great tool, consumable, device or gadget to use as emergency preparedness, an eco-friendly device or just to relax.
