The panel is great – built very solid, as well.
One thing I did not care for: it was packed poorly. An extra layer of heavy cardboard on the outside of the box would be good. The mounting- kit, cable and free tester were just floating in the box. I bought two panels (2 separate orders) – both times it was shipped in the same manner.
The panels would deserve 5 stars… but because of poor packing… only 3 stars.
This is a very high quality panel by sharp. Provides good power even in the Northwest overcast days. I plan to buy more.
There are quite a few errors in the listing for this solar panel – the dimensions listed are for the shipping size – the actual panel size is 21 X 48 x 2 inches. The listing also says it is suitable for RV and marine use – but the warranty that comes with it states that the warranty is void if used in a mobile or marine enviornment.
The panel itself is very efficient – putting out upwards of 6 amps under good conditions. But my impression is that it is meant only for roof mounting, and is far too fragile to be bouncing around on top of an RV or camper, or mounted on the deck of a boat. The back is protected only by a plastic sheet, and the bottom edge of the aluminum frame is less than 1/8 inch thick – fine for roof mounting only.
The mounting hardware that came with my sample bears no relation the that pictured in the instructions (however the picture in the listing is accurate); and there were no battery clamps or quick connects.
I have other sunforce 80 watt panels and they all perform wonderfully well. My issue with this panel was half the hardware was missing. Normally the plastic bags holding the parts are sealed, but these were opened. I improvised the mounts and made it work anyway – just something to be careful of in your shipments.
This solar panel is well constructed and easy to use as a replacement. The seller was careful to pack it for safe transit.
I purchased this product because of the good reviews. I am very pleased with its performance. Living in Washington State without much sun, it does very well. I use it as a trickle charger for battery back-up to my Ham Radios. When the sun is bright and directly on the panel is when the panel works the best of course. It is well made and easy to install or to mount. I plan to purchase a larger panel to charge faster on cloudy days. If you want a panel to maintain a battery or two this works fine.
