Generates 60% solar harvest due to polycarbonate pv panel.

I had 2 sets of these plugged into my portable power bank. I averaged just over 50% of rated output (104-115W) of an advertised 200W. I bought these on a sale to try them out. For the low price I was going to buy a couple more and the cost per watt was still reasonable, however with the price more then doubling I will look for an alternative.

It gives 4amps late afternoon. I tested today over lunch time and it gave 6amps of charge. Very good.

I bought three sets of these panels. So, how well did I do? Likes: ● the briefcase material is of good quality, washable, and seems durable ● the stitching on the handle is very good ● the handle may not be top of the line, but it is of decent quality and should last ● the panels open and close easily as they have a quality button system ● a pouch which closes with Velcro is incorporated on the back for the cable ● the cable is MC4 ● the panels offer water resistance ● also included is a MC4 to 5.5x2.1mm cable ● also included is a MC4 to Anderson cable ● the price point is excellent ● performance proved to be excellent during the tests that I ran (see below and watch video) Dislikes (not a big deal especially if incorporating them would increase cost): ● no kickstands or alternative system is in place (while I am not a big fan of kickstands since they do not offer an adjustability feature, they do come in handy in many situations) ● grommets for hanging the panels are not used ● the fabric hanger loops may or may not last Specs: VOC = 22.4 V IMP=5.4 A Test Results: October 24, 2020: sky condition was sun with clouds (peek-a-boo) and temperature was 84 degrees, time 11:00-11:30 am Panel #1: 19.3 to 20.9 V, 2.8 to 3.6 A Panel #2: 20.8 V, 3.5 A Panel #3: 21.8 V, 5.21 A November 3, 2020: sky condition was no clouds, temperature was 73 degrees, time was 11:15 Panel #1: 19.5 to 19.79 V, 4.95 to 5.33 A November 4, 2020: sky condition was partly cloudy, temperature was 77 degrees, time was 11:05 to 11:40 am (this test was video recorded) Panel #1: 17.0 to 19.9 V, 5.27 to 5.63 A Panel #2: 19.4 to 19.7 V, 5.38 to 5.47 A Panel #3: 19.5 to 19.9, 4.95 to 5.27 A Panels #1, #2, #3 connected in series: 59.3 to 59.4 V, 5.19 to 5.22 A These panels have met my expectations and I am very happy with their quality and performance results. The price point was the first feature that put them on my radar and research list. Their quality and performance is what is keeping them in my emergency preparedness arsenal. I do not have any doubts that they will perform well when charging my power stations.

Finally, two sunny days to check out the 200w ALLPOWERS solar panel. I got 172w and 180w (Jan 14 around noon in southern Ontario). Panel is hanging on the fence on the three build-in nylon loops. They are stable enough to hold the weight. Panel didn’t come with the MC4 to XT60 cable to charge my Ecoflow River 2 max, but it has other useful cables to charge a car battery etc. I was a bit concerned because the panel isn't ETFE laminated but I hope it will be durable anyway. Overall, a very good panel in my opinion. Edit after a month: Panel is still working fine, no issues. I get good power out of it even on cloudy days.

I purchased this panel to complement the same-brand ALLPOWERS 300W Power Station battery unit. (purchased separately). I'm very satisfied with it. It's exactly as described, seems well-made and durable, easy to use and charges my battery unit quite efficiently and effectively. In full direct sunlight, it was easily putting 70-80W into my battery and only took a cpl hours to refill it completely. I was pleasantly surprised to see it keep pumping power (although reduced) when the sun wasn't hitting it directly. It has a couple of handy pop-out legs to keep it tilted at the right angle to the sun, and well as an attached pouch that holds the MC4 panel cables and a couple different types of adaptor cables to connect it to your power unit or device. Order fulfillment was quick and easy and it arrived in 2 days, well-packed for the trip. I'd definitely recommend this model if the power output meets your needs.

Just opened it and inspected it. Very nicely made. The carrying case is so nice. I already have a 200 watt flexible Allpowers panel on the roof of my trailer and it's doing good. I'll be doubling up the two for cold and hot weather camping. Currently using an electric blanket for cold and a 5000 btu AC for hot weather. So nice to be propane free. UPDATE: Getting 212 watts from this 200 watt panel! Even happier with my purchase!

I ordered this on the Friday before Hurricane Ian hit as soon as I saw it heading our way. This was the only affordable 200W portable panel I could get delivered in time and with mixed reviews I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. We ended up not having mains power for 8 days after Hurricane Ian and this panel pulled in over 1KWh in total daily on sunny days, so it helped keep things running with minimal gas generator usage. The weight is clearly listed, but it does feel a lot heavier than it looks. On one hand it would be too heavy to take on walks/hikes, but the weight does give some confidence in the quality and helps to stop it blowing over. I coupled this with a Bluetti EB3A, knowing it also has a 8.3 amp solar input max. This limits the theoretical power from this 18V panel at 150W. On clear sunny days with the panels cool, I saw just over 140W on the input, so that was close. When the panels naturally got hot as they do in the sun, the input was around 130W and it stayed around there for about 9 hours on clear days, which leads me to think that current max on the Bluetti unit was the limiting factor. On cloudy days the input dropped to around 20-30W, which was to be expected. The panel rating is almost impossible to achieve outside of a lab regardless of the panels, so I was generally pleased with the performance. I set this up and pulled it down daily for the week after the hurricane, also moving it around about 4 times a day to keep it roughly pointed at the sun, using the built in stands. It is a little floppy getting it set up, but it was stable and never fell down even though it was breezy on several days. During 8 days, it folded one panel on itself once after a strong gust and that only halved the power, so I think the panels are wired in parallel. Even with other shadows the panels still put out some power. After over a week of constant use and daily setup it still looks brand new. Nothing looks like it is about to tear, etc. I also like the accessories, which included the correct DC barrel for the Bluetti, and having MC4 for the most robust connections. About my only complaint besides the weight for a portable panel is one of the MC4 connectors seems too tight and even with an MC4 tool it was extremely difficult to detach. All my other MC4 connectors are fine and looks like just this one was a little off on the molding. I’m using a mix of SAE and DC for quick disconnects anyway, so it is not too much of a hassle.
