200W Portable Solar Panel for Power Station, Waterproof IP65 Foldable Solar Panel with MC-4 Anderson Output Connector for RV, Camping, Blackout

Before purchasing this ELB 200 Watt solar panel I did a lot of research. I settled upon a different solar panel, and this was my runner-up. The other panel arrived and, to my disappointment, was too flexible and kept falling over. I was also concerned that the fabric on the edges would fray. So I ended up returning it and going with the ELB. I had purchased ELB rechargeable batteries in the past and they performed well (and the company even replaced a set that failed) so I thought, the runner-up it is. Well, this should have been my first pick. Sturdiness: It is framed by solid plastic and therefore not too flexible like the last one that I tried. It doesn't fall over easily (although if using it on a windy day, you may want to consider an inexpensive stand for it (I went with the DOKIO Solar Panel Adjustable Mounting Bracket, which worked well). Performance: I was surprised at how well this panel performed. I was drawing between 155-160 watts even before the middle of the day, although I did max out at about 170 watts. That is excellent performance, particularly for a relatively inexpensive panel. Also, this one is rated for water resistance, which some other high performing (and more expensive) solar panels are not. Verdict: A keeper! Go with this one. You will not be disappointed.

I purchased this solar panel set for Jeep trips. When I reach my destination, I set the panels out and plug them into my portable battery backup. I then plug accessories like my Dometic refrigerated cooler into the battery. The panels keep the battery charged all day. The panels seem nicely constructed and fold up thin to tuck away when driving. Good cable length, too.

Let me give you the good and bad of this product after using it for about a month. Good: 1. Seems to pull good watts from the sun, though not quite the level of other solar panels that I have tried. I seem to get around 140 watts in bright sun. 2. Folding up for storage is excellent. 3. I detest solar panels that do not use MC-4 connectors — this one does, so it's easy to connect to any cable that you need for your solar generator. It also comes with a multi-plug cable that should work with just about anything. 4. It's been in the rain and snow, and I have experienced no issues. Bad: 1. I had to replace my first one because it was manufactured badly. the connection between panels was weak and looked like it was lazily put together. 2. It's a bit heavy. Overall, I give this four stars, though after a few months I may revisit my review.

I was recommended buying this 200-watt EBL solar panel with my Anker Solix C1000. I have noticed I received a maximum input of 165-watts this winter. It's been about 2 months now. I'm quite happy with it. It feels sturdy. It's charging my Anker C1000 solar battery system well. I wish it wasn't orange, but it's not even close to a deal breaker. It's easy enough to clean and the orange makes mud and dirt easier to see. I bought a direct MC4 to XT-60 cable, but the solar panel comes with one that works for various solar input connectors.

I have a season on this 200w panel, and two on another identical one. The 400w in series outperforms the 800w on my roof. These things have survived 50mph winds in the desert south west. So much easier to use than my old heavy glass panels.

Don’t underestimate the power of the fun this is such an amazing device

This solar panel charges very quickly even in non optimum days. Easy to set up and lighter then my other ones.

Ordered these to add to my other panels, used it by itself to see what kind of wattage I was getting, direct sunlight no clouds and no wind,panels directly toward sun and most I could get was 124 watts, I hooked up my ecoflo 110 watts by itself and was pulling 98 watts ,same angle,no clouds clear day, I'll try again soon with the EBL 200 w and see it anything changes.but for now 3 stars.
