Review on ๐Ÿ”† KRISTEOU Portable Foldable 100W Solar Panel: Complete Kit for Charging iPhone, Android, Tablet, Laptop - Waterproof Power Generator for Camping, RV Trips, Boat & Emergencies by Ben Swett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor performance, doesn't work as advertised ๐Ÿ‘Ž

I thought it was a very good deal on a 100 watt panel. If you're buying this panel for an extra free flash and lightbulb then go for it. This panel is garbage! It is similar to the xtar 100w panel but the performance is completely different. I bought 2 panels, tested 1 panel with 37W, second panel with 54W. 2 panels connected in parallel 91W. At the same time I tested the same 100w panel I bought last month from another seller who makes 78w. The performance of the panel is on par with the xtar 100w panel. I thought it was the same as the xtar 100w panel. You get what you pay for. I'm returning this panel to buy an Xtar 100w panel instead. After 3 uses I noticed that the Kristoue plate was bending. Probably due to the fact that the panel is very thin, the quality is not very good and it does not withstand heat. Prolonged use will result in poor performance or even not working at all. I'd rather spend a little more money for a quality panel that performs well and lasts longer. Update: After speaking to a Revain rep, they told me I may have a defective panel. You asked me if you wanted a replacement. I said ok I'll try. I received my replacement on 10/28/2021, so on 10/29/2021 I tested the replacement panel with a test video recorded to show how the panel works: okay? The answer is no. 1 panel produces 34w and the other 35w is not very good compared to 1 other 100w panel I bought from the moon light seller 6 weeks ago. You can see 76w in the video. Christeu's panel is not good at all! I gave 2 stars, now only 1 star.

Pros
  • Solar and wind power
Cons
  • Expensive
