Review on 🌞 Highly Efficient PV Module - Newpowa 10W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel for Enhanced Battery Trickle Charging in Boat, RV, Gate Opener, Fences, and Off-Grid Applications by Joshua Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great panel, but not enough mounting material!

The panel itself looks good quality - nice and sturdy and I get a great charge on my small 32Ah deep draw cycle in a closed trailer. I used to have a tiny 3 watt solar panel and it wasn't enough to keep the battery charged. With two of those 10-watt panels charging at over 1 amp, he shouldn't have a problem now. Looks great installed and feels very solid. A major issue that turned a 30 minute install into a 3 hour ordeal was that no hardware was included to install! I knew this when I bought it, but I just decided to look for braces with good reviews. The problem is that the screws with this bracket kit are too long to work with this plate. I had to cut off each screw and then clean the threads. This took forever and could have been avoided if this plate had simply come with nuts and bolts that matched the holes in this plate. Incorporating this simple and useful device could have cost the manufacturer an additional $1. This is the only reason why this product does not deserve 5 stars.

Pros
  • Great workmanship
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
