Review on Powerful 100W 18V Solar Panel: Ideal for Explorer 160/240/500 Portable Solar Generators, Camping Van RV, Enhanced with Kickstand Connector, Solar Controller Included (100W) by Antonio Curry

Didn't live up to expectations

So I bought this panel hoping for similar performance to my other (and much older) 100W Suaoki panel (17.8 V at 5.62 A) and unfortunately did not live up to expectations. . On a sunny day and in the same position I can get this panel to produce only about half the electricity and less than half the power connected to the same solar generator. Even given the newer technology in this panel, it's nowhere near effective in the same conditions. I'm considering exchanging this for another, but I tend to try a different brand of panel and just return it. The included extras are nice, particularly the solar charge controller, but in the end I'd trade it all for a panel at least close to my other 100w panel. YMMV

Pros
  • LIGHT AND ULTRA THIN FOR EASY MOVEMENT
Cons
  • Everything is fine
