Review on 🌞 PowerECO 100W Portable Solar Panel Kit with Waterproof 20A 12/24V PWM Charge Controller - Lightweight and Efficient by Mike Bogan

I tried tilting the panel as best I could to face the sun, although the angle wasn't quite right. The controller displays some characters that I don't understand, such as B. "bLu" and "bO3". They are not explained in the manual. I've tried measuring the output voltage and current with a multimeter but it doesn't seem to put out any current unless a battery is connected, which I think is fine, but I can't test the output.

If you don't need mobility and want to install the panel in your home or RV, you can find cheaper options like this Monocrystalline Solar Starter Renogy 100W 12V Kit for about 1/2 the price. If price is an issue for portability, there are several portable options for less money with potentially inferior components, such as
