Customer Reviews

Excellent retail solar panel
For small installations such as storage sheds or small cabins, these panels can't be beat. The price is right and they perform well. On a bright sunny day I see about .8 amps per panel, though that will fluctuate with the resistance of the load (All solar panels have an optimal loading that will allow them to achieve maximum output).

I use my panels to charge a Werker absorbed glass mat (AGM) lead acid battery that I then use to run an inverter whenever I need remote power. These panels do the trick, I'll buy more of them as my power needs increase

reliable outdoor power option
Worked like a charm, putting out the expected power. Used it to charge up batteries and Ipods, as well as run a home made swamp (evaporative) cooler. Even had in use during a major dust storm with sand blowing around at 35mph, and the glass covering didn't show any scratches.

Just Toys
I bought 5 of these panels to charge a deep cycle marine battery for lighting a remote shed. I ran into problems about 3 days after installation because an 11 watt overnight light would discharge the battery and the panels couldn't handle the daily recharge.

Only under ideal conditions, with sunshine most of the day, will this system come close to working properly. My suggestion if someone is trying to accomplish what I'm trying is to get on the internet and find a company that sells a good American or Japanese panel that produces around 80 watts.

I tried this on a different location and it works fine, costs about the same, and takes up less room on the roof. I'm preparing my "Toy" panels for my next garage sale and hopfully some sucker will buy them.
