N-Type 16BB 450W Portable Solar Panel,RV Essentials,38V Foldable Solar Charger for Power Station, 25% High Efficiency IP68 Waterproof 4 Reinforced Kickstands for Camping RV Hurricane

The media could not be loaded. This solar panel is absolutely amazing. Most panels I have reviewed online deliver 70 - 80 % of their rated power. I have not had a clear day when charging my Bluetti AC300/B300K solar generator so far, but I have seen short spells of over 500 watts on the app for the PV charging rate. I live in Trinidad, West Indies and our climate is HOT.... yet even with the negative temperature coefficient I see consistently when the sunshine is out more than the rated 450 watts on the charging rate. In temperate climates I can imagine what this panel is capable of producing in cooler temperatures. Because of buildings and trees I place the panel on a kennel and the galvanise sheets get really hot. You have to be cautious removing the panel when completing a charge on a hot day as the portable panel gets really hot. I don't even bother to adjust the panel angle, as it stays flat and gets over 400 watts in this orientation after 4 p.m. The build is robust and weight is manageable at 27 pounds, for a panel this large. I cannot say how fast it would recharge the Bluetti generator from a low state but at better than 400 watts for 6 hours would refill the unit from a low state. I would unreservedly recommend the ZOUPW 450 watt portable solar panel as a GREAT BUY for all the right reasons:- price, portability, build quality, delivering better than rated power, accessories, carrying case and plug and play ability. The only problem is I did not get a test sample !!!!! hahahahahahaha , well you can't get everything in life!! great job ZOUPW..........

Wonder panel.- Easy to set up and fold. This is one of the easiest panels to set up and I had them all. Rigid panels do not fall at the first touch, the wire legs are easy to unfold and set at the desired angle and the panel tolerates wind much better then flexible panels. It even comes with stakes to keep the leg on the ground in windy conditions.- Lightweight. For a 450W panel it weights more like a typical 350W portable panel. You can easily move it either in the provided bag, or on it's own.- Comes with generous 10 feet expansion quality cable as well as plethora of connectors. My power station requires XT60 connector and I didn't even need to purchase an adapter. All cables are rated 12awg, so you don't have to worry that they will get too hot for the current that this panel can produce. And it can produce about 14A when operating at it's working state 39V. Open voltage is about 47V in moderate temps, but during winter can go above 50V, so be careful connecting this panels in series if your solar controller can not handle high voltage. For controllers rated at up to 100V, I would be careful about connecting panels in series, especially during winter months.- Waterproof , rigid and features ETFE coating. My panel already survived couple of downpours and I can feel confident leaving it outside regardless the weather.- Punches well above it's stated spec. The attached photo was made during the morning sun when panel was facing sideways. I am sure it can deliver even more, but already 100w above rating is a spectacular result. This single panel can completely saturate my power station's 600W solar controller.- the provided bag has thick layer of protection and quality zippers. Cables and all accessories can be stored in a big side pouch.

I have been playing around with solar for just a short period of time, approximately 2 years as a hobby. So take what I say as coming from someone with very limited experience and knowledge.Two years ago I bought a couple of roof mount style 100 watt panels in order to build a rugged solar suitcase. At the time I wasn’t aware of any folding panels available from Bluetti, Eco-flow, etc, that was absolutely waterproof.So I built the aforementioned folding solar suitcase.I absolutely got my priorities accomplished but I was still only left with a 200 watt unit. Also, it was bigger and heavier than the 450 watt Zoupw.I should mention that I also have a100 watt folding 4-panel unit that is a pain to set up due the legs that a have a mind of their own.The Zoupw legs do not behave like the old 100 watt unit. Instead when you deploy them they have enough friction in the pivot points that they stay folded out as you set it up and ultimately lean it back onto the legs.This is a big deal if like me, you get annoyed by this sort of thing.Bottom line it sets up very reasonably easily.It’s also waterproof, and I verified that by running out in some rain with zero problems. Obviously with a gray rainy sky you will only receive a tiny fraction of its rated output. If memory serves I saw maybe 19 watts coming in, so don’t expect miracles.Having said that I was truly impressed by how well shading tests and other adverse conditions (gray skies, etc) worked.I’ve only had the unit for less than three weeks and I’m already considering getting a second to run in series for faster charging etc.I saw a number of reviews before I bought this one with pictures of broken legs, and dislocated hinges, etc, but decided to try it anyway.One could reasonably say it is a “rather flimsy” unit and it would be hard to argue against that. The very reason it may appear to be flimsy is what keeps the weight down. So pick your poison.However I feel as though if you are reasonably gentle with it, it’ll last for some time. I have set this up at least a dozen times in different sections of the yard for testing purposes, and perhaps a half dozen times in and out the padded carry bag. I think the bag is excellent.This unit will be going on future camping trip to charge up my solar generator (power station)Whereas the custom built solar suitcase I made won’t because it’s heavy, bulky and hard to stow in the trailer, and less than half the energy I personally experienced being harvested from the sun.Technology marches on, and hopefully this will last me a few years.

I've seen the panels peak at 500 watts. They easily hover in the 420-440 watt range if panel is correctly oriented to the sun. Panels seem well built and durable. BUT.... If you're moving them around by yourself be VERY careful not to bend the legs backwards or sideways, their plastic hinges are as brittle as a thin twig. Still the panels themselves are a great value for occasional use, I need to come up with a solution for the leg hinges as the wind caught the panels and now all of them are broken.
