Review on ๐ŸŒž A portable and foldable AIMS Power 130W Solar Panel - Conveniently charges batteries on-the-go! by Tim Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good folding panel, but could be better.

I bought this foldable solar panel to charge a portable power station. Finishing and materials in general appear to be good. I had a foldable panel from another well known brand and it is comparable in fabric quality. It has adjustable legs that are more trouble than they're worth. They hold the panels in place and I like the idea of customizing them, but some changes could be made. As for the panels themselves, after being in the sun for about an hour, they became soft and sagged as can be seen in the photos. After folding and cooling, they became flat. My solution, just put it on a flat surface, floor, car window etc. Some kind of bracket or support can be used to fix this. It's advertised as a 130W panel but most I've seen is around 85W being drawn from my power station and that was at midday in direct sunlight. I'm not exactly sure why that is. The attached wire to the device appears to be about 14 ga. Overall, this is a decent device that folds quite compactly and is easy to store. It is easy. hope it lasts
