Review on 🌞 DOKIO 220W Foldable Solar Panel Kit: Lightweight & High-Efficiency Solution for Charging 12V Batteries/Power Stations (AGM LiFePo4) - Ideal for RV, Camping, and Boating with Controller, 2 USB Outputs by Kevin Ayala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

With reasonable expectations, this is a good decision.

First time. Claimed Power is VERY optimistic. Even when mounted on a slope to get direct sun, the best I've seen is 130 watts. It was at a time when my solar panel in my house was generating a little more than it was advertised to be. That means the conditions for the solar battery were almost ideal. But I bought 200 watts because I knew half was more likely. I gave the product one star for its upbeat claim to performance. That issue aside, the panels are fantastic. I like rings for the fact that they hold them in place so the wind doesn't move them. From tent pegs to S-binder hooks, everything I've tried has worked. Records need a fairly flat surface to hold them. For example, if you lean it against a fence, they tend to bend and move. A piece of plywood supporting the center solves this problem. I use it to charge my EcoFlow battery and the fact that the included cable's connector fits into the battery's inlet is a great asset. Attachments do not need to be hidden. A fully discharged battery can easily be recharged on a sunny day. Yes, plugging into a 120v outlet is faster, but free solar power is best when I have time. The fact that the panels come in their own case is great. Velcro holds well but is still easy to open. The presence of a pocket on the side for storing cables and other things is very convenient. And I love the fact that the main connector is SAE standard so I can easily add longer cables if I want to. Good value for money in every respect and a well thought-out design. Just be a little more realistic about it.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
