Economical solar charging!

Emergency preparedness was the main reason for purchasing this item. My preferences: ● the briefcase is aesthetic, durable and easy to clean ● the handle is of excellent quality ● there are grommets at the top and bottom of the panels, which gives me various hanging options ● I can charge electronic devices like a phone, chargers, etc. straight through 3 USB ports ● Includes adapters for many power stations and other electronics ● Although I generally dislike stands, they are good quality ● DC and Anderson cables included ● Price. I dislike: ● Missing MC4 cable connection ● Provided cables are too short ● The DC jack is more prone to loosening during use (especially given the short length) when the MC4 connection is reliable ● Connecting multiple panels in series or parallel this is not available. The tests were conducted on two different days with different sky conditions: October 24, 2020, 11:00 am: The sky was somewhat sunny with clouds (visible) ● The VOC specification (open circuit voltage) is 21 V and the voltage is reached during this time the test was 20.7V ● The IMP (current) specification is 5.55A, and the current achieved during the test was 5.6A. It was very cloudy (see photo and video) ● VOC range was 18 .9-19.5, sometimes very cloudy ● IMP range was 1.75 - 2.32 In general, the impressions of this product are positive, I am satisfied with the purchase. The price influenced my purchase decision. I need the ability to easily connect multiple solar panels in series or parallel. This product is good for a one-time purchase, but the lack of an MC4 connector and therefore the availability of a serial or parallel connection will be a key consideration for future purchases.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
