I’ve used a few different brands of portable solar panels in the last few years. So I think I have a pretty good idea on how much power to expect from them in my area. 100w never means you will get 100w. Even on very sunny days. Unless you live someplace like Arizona. They have great sun, but places don’t.
Granted, I just got this yesterday and this is the first day I’ve tried them, but so far it’s better than my last three solar panels. I don’t live in a great area for solar power. Typically, I expect 25w from 100w panel, and that has stayed fairly consistent at this time of year through three solar panels I’ve purchased since I’ve been here. This panel gave me more than double the usual, hitting 60w. That’s amazing considering how cloudy it was today too. They are thinner than I was expecting, but very light. They are big, making them a little awkward for me to move since I’m in a wheelchair, but it’s worth the hassle for more power. This is the first panel I’ve bought with its own stand. I already love that feature. Makes it easier to catch the most sun.
I can’t speak to how long it will last, but it works very well right now. Will try to remember to update in a year to see if they last. So far, they are awesome.
