ALEKO SP30W24V - 30W 24V Monocrystalline Solar Panel - Ideal for Gate Opener, Pool, Garden, and Driveway Applications Review

The first solar panel I bought came with the cables installed, the second panel I ordered had no cables coming out of the box on the back at all rendering the solar panel unusable. Poor quality control in my opinion.

There are not enough cables to connect. I have to make a wire harness for this because there were no wires in the kit. There are no brackets to mount the device. You need to make brackets for mounting. Pretty pathetic product. No paperwork or instructions.

Bought 2 of these panels to charge 2 12v batteries They say 24v but because they are extremely efficient they usually give 36-40v out about 40v. I have a 1000 watt inverter that charges Dewalt batteries for all my 20 volt tools. Works pretty well.

We use 2 of these panels on our camper and they work great. With 2 of them together, it charges our batteries up to 100% every day. We usually run the stove at night, Colorado gets a bit chilly at night, especially when there is no cloud cover. I used a kit from Harbor Freight, which was more expensive, a ton heavier, and short-lived because it wobbled on the road. I quickly built a small PVC rack and it works great. I use this charge controller: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W4R4L2A/ref=…

I bought this panel over a year ago and it works great as a power source for a wireless security camera/transmitter. I'm ordering another one because the spot it's in is partially shaded and doesn't get enough sunlight in late fall and winter to fully charge the 2 12v gel cells. The problem is that the camera has powerful IR LEDs for night vision. They work great, but they run out of batteries at night without charging. In summer there are no problems, but in winter or when it is very cloudy…
