Perfect application for portable charging
The media could not be loaded. Ive been using this panel for a little over a month now. I really like to use things in multiple situations and gauge its effectiveness; This panel is perfect for what I am using it for. I wanted something that was lightweight, easy to store and transport to supplement my mounted solar panels. I don't always have the best options for parking in the sun, and the angle is never perfect with mounted panels.What I really wanted was a panel I could easily and quickly setup in the best location to supplement my charging. I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. It really filled the niche I needed with my setup in my camper van, and I also found myself using it in a lot of other applications because it is very portable and light weight.1. Very portable.I really liked how its all self contained, the cables, adapters, all come in a zipper pouch, and I ended up using it to store my 20 ft cables as well, so when it is time to set it up, its really a "Grab and go " situation. The handles are very nice, and they have magnetic clasps so the unit stays closed until its time to use it. I really liked this feature, because it kept it safe, and stopped anything from slipping inside the panel when I was storing it.The feet are velcro secured and right on the unit, its really nice that they secure so well, and they are always right there to use. That is one of my favorite things about this panel is that its all " Self contained " I do not need to look for feet, cables, or anything, because its all right there.2. Well madeThe construction is very sturdy, I've been using it for right around a month at this point and it still feels and looks new to me. Its very easy to clean/keep clean, the material is strong. I really love the zippered pockets and velcro hold downs for the feet. It keeps it all "Tight" and very quick to store and grab when I want to use it.3. Comes with cable and adaptersI really liked how it came with extra cable length, and adapters for any device you might want to charge. I have some older power stations and was really surprised to be able to just directly charge those. It really made it easy to work it into my solar setup. It saved me money too.4. Great powerIts a 100watt panel and I felt the output was very nice. Being so portable, it was very easy to set it up in the best location for the area I was set up in. I used an extra 20 ft cable I had as well, so it is always optimal. This really was clutch for me as it kept me from always being "Just about" there to fully charged on all my stuff. It is really perfect for my application.Overall, I love this panel. It is so thin and lightweight, it just fits in a little niche I had for it like a glove. I have not had a single issue with this unit, and I cant imagine being without it anymore really. Just being able to add that extra wattage with the perfect output to my setup sent it to total perfection. Its just so nice how it folds in half and protects itself. I would really give this a try if you want something, Portable, well built, and effective.Something else to add. I have been just grabbing this single panel and a power station for car trips and even a short hike. I really love the portability of this VS my massive fixed panels.

Perform as advertised.
These arrived a week ago. Today (February 14) is the first time that I was able to test them out. It is 45F (7C) outside. I am at 43 degrees north latitude. I connected them the to a Rich Solar 20A mppt solar charge controller that is part of a portable solar generator system I built.I was collecting a steady 183 to 196 watts of energy from it. I know it is cool and the performance will no doubt lag some when it is hot but I am very pleased with the results. I covered one panel and verified that these panels are wired in parallel.They seem to be well made. About as east to deploy as any set of 4 segment solar panels of similar size. The weight is not bad and once set up it maintained it's position with no sag. There is a stand for each segment. Standard MC4 output cables and the included multi prong adapter cable make it a very versatile kit. There is no provision for charging devices directly from this panel, but I knew that when I got it. This helps make it more water resistant. I have other 100 watt panels if I need to do that.I am very happy with the purchase and now that I have tested them I will be purchasing a second unit soon.

Good solar efficiency like any other 100W monocrystalline panel
At first glance, this Grecell 100W looks like a copycat of the Jackery SolarSaga 100 with its color scheme, folding design, and handles that close magnetically.IN A NUTSHELLThe Grecell 100W, like the Jackery Solarsaga 100, just folds in half and is held together by strong magnets, accented by a rigid, bright-orange carry handle across the top. Within the built-in carry pouch is a built-in MC4 connector cable ready to be plugged into a battery power station with an appropriate extension cable. On an overcast morning, it had achieved as much as 59W of output whereas the Jackery SolarSaga 100 got 53W. The differential was small, and so I tested it again on a clear, sunny day. The Grecell achieved 84W and the Jackery got 72W. That's pretty good efficiency as most monocrystalline solar panels lose at least 25% due to power conversion. A built-in kickstand helps orient the panel at an optimal, 45 degree angle for maximum sun exposure, and a built-in pocket allows for cables to be stored. Note that this solar panel is NOT waterproof.It should be kept out of the rain, but then again, if it is raining, the sun probably won't be out. Multiple adapters are included and I tested connectivity with Jackery, Goal Zero, and an off-brand Rockpals battery power station. All three worked with this panel as expected. As long as the power station is able to accept the panel's 20V of output, you are golden. I also connected it in parallel with the 18V Jackery SolarSaga 100, and that took the panels from 53W/58W to a combined output of 102W. You should almost NEVER connect multiple solar panels in sequence/a series -- you should almost ALWAYS hook them up in Parallel with a Y-split or combiner cable. (Goal Zero has a 4x combiner cable to hook up to 4 solar panels).Overall, the Grecell 100W solar panels are beautiful, sturdy, efficient, and portable and worked well with a variety of battery power station vendors and solar panels. Having the MC4 connector out of the box makes the Grecell compatible with an industry-standard connection, but some power stations may only accept APP (Anderson) connections -- in that case, use the included MC4-to-APP adapter cable.TIPS/NOTES- Panel lifespan: Panels generally die/become inefficient between 25-30 years-- They may last longer, but would produce less energy- Solar panels work best outdoor under full sun exposure-- Although the panels will work under the shade or behind windows, charging efficiency is greatly diminished-- Panels will STILL charge under cloudy conditions. So, keep the panels out even if you do not see the sun-- Operating temperature range: 14F to 149F (-10C to 65C)-- ONLY the solar panels can (and should) be directly under the sun while charging a battery power station--- Keep the power station in the shade to prevent overheating- ALL panels must be uncovered to generate a charge-- Do not completely cover one or more panels or the charging will stop- To maintain solar efficiency, the panels should be kept clean-- Remove dust with a soft brush and wipe with a damp (NOT wet) cloth-- Any residue, such as tree sap, should be removed as soon as possible-- Keep panel away from water that spray at greater than 60 degree angles-- Keep panel away from low-pressure (or stronger) water jet spray-- Do not submerge the panel under water-- Panels will work longer if they are kept away from water altogether- Do NOT bend the panels more than 30 degrees or risk breaking them!- Keep the panels away from fires and heatersCHARGING TIMESWhen using solar panels to charge battery power stations, the amount of energy the battery may accept could be throttled to prevent overcharging.Example: Jackery Explorer 1000 slowed incoming wattage from 70-80W to about 50W once it reached 70% battery charge.HOW MANY WATTS DOES A DEVICE USE?- Calc: Watts used by device = Voltage x Amperage- If a vacuum is 120V and 9.5A, it uses 1,140WHOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SOLAR CHARGE A BATTERY POWER STATION?- Calc: Hours to charge battery = Battery capacity (Wh) / (Panel Wattage x [0.5 or 0.75])-- In a perfect lab environment, solar panels charge at the indicated wattage (ie. 100W)-- Expect to only receive 50-75% on a good, sunny day (ie. 50W – 75W), depending on environmental conditions, panel's age, and component quality-- Tip: Even if it is overcast, the panels will STILL collect solar energy. Keep charging!- Charging with a 100W solar panel-- Jackery Explorer 500: As fast as 6.7 hours [500 Wh / (100W x 0.75)]-- Jackery Explorer 1000: As fast as 13.3 hours [1000 Wh / (100W x 0.75)]
