Review on PROGENY 120W Portable Solar Panel: Fast Charging USB-C, Foldable Charger for Jackery, Flashfish, BALDR, Goal Zero Power Station in Car/RV by Eloy Boelkens

Something is wrong!

I received the solar panel on sale quickly after purchase. I mainly wanted to use this for camping and for charging my small electronics at home. I tested the ability to charge a solar panel on a clear, bright, sunny day in California. I originally thought that charging a 300 watt progeny battery with this 120 watt solar panel would take forever since the panel only transmits around 30-32 watts of power (as stated on the child battery). It turned out that the battery went from 20% to 100% in 4 hours! The math just doesn't add up! I've tried contacting Progeny to see if there's a problem, but I can't find the company. The only thing I can find is the website www.progenysolar.com which doesn't seem to be working. The battery and solar panel work well, but something is definitely wrong. Either my battery is showing an incorrect power consumption or the solar panel is charging faster than indicated on the battery. 5 stars for portability 3 stars for ease of use: Ready to use. One problem is that the plugs that come with it don't always work with a battery. Sometimes one fork works and sometimes another works instead. The legs behind the solar panel are weak and more legs need to be added to support the panel at the ends. 5 stars for design: I love the wireless charger and the stylish design. 1 Star for Customer Service: None. Overall: 3 stars. for a few devices. PROGENY should contact me and find out if I need to replace one or both devices. In the meantime, this will be released as a test of both the battery and the solar panel.

Pros
  • Solar and wind power
Cons
  • Negative gift
