ZOUPW 100 Watt Portable Solar Panel with Solar Angle Guide Camper Essentials 20V Foldable Solar Charger for Power Station 23.5% High Efficiency IP67 Waterproof Kickstand for Camping/RV/Blackout

I recently ordered the ZOUPW 100-Watt Portable Solar Panel for Power Station (100W 20V Foldable Solar Charger with Solar Cable USB Output, 23.5% High Efficiency, IP67 Waterproof Adjustable Kickstands) on August 21, 2024. It arrived promptly on August 23, 2024, just in time for our yard sale and tailgate event at the Greenwood Market on August 23-24, 2024. Setting up the solar panel was a breeze. I placed it in direct sunlight, and it delivered the power I needed effortlessly. Not only did it power my setup, but it also attracted a lot of attention from customers. The solar panel's presence sparked interest, giving me an opportunity to share my knowledge about solar power and wattage. To my surprise, around ten people asked for the Amazon link to purchase the same solar panel and the Jackery 290 Explorer. This 100-watt solar panel exceeded my expectations and did an outstanding job for our needs. I wasn’t initially well-versed in solar technology, but after some research, I made an informed decision to purchase this panel, and I'm thrilled with the results so far. The Jackery 290 Explorer I paired it with used only 10% of its charge over four hours, leaving it at 90% on August 24, 2024. As of today, August 27, 2024, it still holds that charge, and I'm curious to see how long it will last before reaching 50%. The solar panel's portability, foldable design, and waterproof features are incredibly convenient. The smart charging technology with dual USB-A and USB-C outputs is particularly impressive; I didn’t even need to use the Jackery to charge my phone—I simply used the solar panel. One minor drawback is the kickstands; I recommend adding something extra to secure them to the ground, as the panel can tip over in windy conditions. Overall, this ZOUPW solar panel has been an excellent purchase, and I’m looking forward to testing it further at our next yard sale and tailgate event at the Greenwood Market. Just to note, I’m not a paid sponsor or sales agent for the ZOUPW solar panel or the Jackery 290W. Stay tuned for my next review!

Light and easy to use. Probably going to buy a second set. Yield stayed at 60W in the sun. For comparison, plugging into 110v outlet to charge battery yields 180W. Recharges my 1500W battery in 8-10 hours.

I bought this expecting to get about 80 watts of power on a clear day. So far, I've been unable to sustain more than 73 watts on a clear day. This is in South Florida at only a few feet above sea level. But we do get a lot of clear blue sky days so it's somewhat disappointing. It starts out producing higher, as in the upper 70s but quickly (minutes) falls back to the lower 70s. It seems that it is less efficient after it heats up. Given the power output, this is only useful to recharge small power stations, perhaps up to a 500Wh unit, and that may be pushing it. The problem is there won't be enough usable hours of sun in a day to recharge high capacity power stations so if you've got a high capacity power station, I'd recommend considering only 200W and above solar panels. The selection of ends for the cables that are provided is excellent and the unit's construction is very good. It is covered in fabric which I don't like because it gets dirty and torn up too easily. But it is very portable and for a low capacity power station will work just fine.

Pretty similar to Jackery panels, both in looks and capabilities, but comes with adapters to enable it to be used with multiple solar interfaces. Incompatible interfaces between solar batteries is a problem, as Jackery, Bouge RV, Bluetti, Renogy, etc. all use different connectors. Jackery uses two different interfaces that look virtually identical but requires the company to supply two adapters with their connector cables. Recommended

Great company, I did have a problem with the wires on the panel I received but they sent me a replacement within a day to make it right. Oh and the panels work well. Most people think a "100 watt" panel is going to output a full 100 watts, they won't. Even in full sun you're going to get maybe 80 watts at best. So just understand that before you gripe about not getting full wattage.
