Review on 🌞 Highly Efficient RICH SOLAR 60W 12V Portable Monocrystalline Solar Panel with Kickstand: Ideal for Portable Power Stations and Solar Generators by Eric Rose

The solar panels (2) were packed in a double carton, nothing is bent, scratched or cracked. I figured I'd rather carry a single 100 watt panel than a heavier 200 watt foldable panel. They're big, but the average person should be able to handle them. The footpegs work as they should, the electrical connections looked and worked well. I particularly liked the Anderson connectors because I switched my system to them many years ago. They are an excellent connector widely used in medical and industrial applications and are recommended for DC use by the amateur community. However, they are not common in solar panels, so some users may need an adapter for their system. I installed them in my backyard facing south and the vapor produced 120 watts while the sun was still in the east hitting them at an angle. I live in northern latitudes and was pleasantly surprised to see they put out a full 180 watts later that day. You're unlikely to ever see the full peak performance like some people think, and it was closer than I expected. They quickly charged my lithium battery. As it turned out, I only really needed both when using my portable ham radio. >> UPDATE: did a great job over the summer, a 100 watt panel charged my 20 amp lithium battery well enough to run my BiPAP unit. 6-7 hours a day. It also performed well in overcast weather and smoky conditions, even partially sitting in the weeds. I am using an Allpowers 20A charge controller which is on the battery with a longer cable going to the panel. This works best. Persons! If you want to build your own solar system, do your homework first. Find out what's included and what's not, and what adapters, controllers, or other items you might need. A complete system consists of a panel, a battery or power station and usually a charge controller. Some solar panels have a built-in controller, but not this one. Some power plants have built-in controls, many don't. A "12 volt" solar panel can give out over 25 volts in bright sunshine and should never be plugged directly into a 12 volt input! Don't make any assumptions. Just putting things together haphazardly can create smoke and cost you a lot of money!
