Title: Great Solar Panel for Camping and Off-Grid Adventures!
Review: I recently purchased the ALLPOWERS SP027 Foldable Solar Panel 100W and I'm so glad I did. This thing is a lifesaver for my camping trips! It's easy to set up and folds up compactly for easy storage. The build quality is great, and it's held up well even in some pretty rough weather.The panel charges my phone, laptop, and even my portable power station with no problem. I love that it has multiple output options, so I can use it with almost any device.Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend this solar panel to anyone looking for a reliable and portable power source.

Title: Low cost, no frills panel that puts out the power.
Review: I purchased a pair of these panels to use for various purposes. I have several Acopower and Jackery panels which are much higher price with extra features. If you are looking for an easy set up, no frills panel that gives good output these are a great choice. I was getting 165 watts from the pair going into my new Bluetti AC200. That is 82.5 watts per panel which is excellent performance.The one disadvantage they have is that there are not attached kickstands. You have to have something to prop them against. I used a couple of plastic milk crates which actually worked well. You could also prop them against a tire or vehicle. For the price of $119 ea. you can buy 2 1/2 of these for one of the Jackery, Bluetti or Acopwers. If you don't minde the lack of kickstand they are a good value choice.The cables are shorter than most panels as well but are long enough to place two side by side and connect in series or parallel. You will also need an extension MC4 cable to reach your solar generator but this is also needed for other panels as well. If you connected more than two panels you would need to purchase a couple of short extension MC4 cables to connect four to six panels and then an extension cable to reach your solar generator.

Title: 100 watt AllPowers Portable Solar Panel
Review: Update: Ecoflow 768 WH at 32% this morning. Panels putting out 147 watts between the two shows 3 hours to full charge. When the panels are initially connected and still cool the output between the two is roughly 170-187 watts. As soon as these panels warm up the output drops consistently down to 147-155. Do not expect to get 100 watts per panel. I'm retired, in no hurry to go anywhere and have the advantage of the Arizona sunshine. 3 hours from 32% to 100% on my Ecoflow is fine, but if you're solely dependent on your SoGen for whatever reason, and stealth camping or in less than ideal sun conditions, spend a bit more and get a rigid polycrystaline or monocrystaline panel. They are less affected by heat.Otherwise, I am stillvery pleased with this purchase. I bought these because they were 100 watt panels for $79 and they are compact and portable. The Ecoflow 110 watt panel is $169.I am currently getting between 80-85 watts out of one of these folding panels. When I connect a Y to them I feel confident that I'll get a minimum of 160 watts between the two panels. My Ecoflow River 2 Pro 768 wh unit was at 40% s.o.c. when I connected the 1 panel. After ten minutes in the sun, in Quartzsite Az it had increased by 4%. Not bad for an inexpensive folding panel.Also, some folks were wondering if these have a support leg? Mine did come with a fold out leg on each panel, a pocket to store cords in and a very rugged Velcro flap to secure the panels. Connect the lead wire to the panels, then to your sogen before opening them to the sun. Very pleased and will update in a month.

Title: Solar charging at a fantastic price!!!
Review: I bought three sets of these panels. So, how well did I do?Likes:â the briefcase material is of good quality, washable, and seems durableâ the stitching on the handle is very goodâ the handle may not be top of the line, but it is of decent quality and should lastâ the panels open and close easily as they have a quality button systemâ a pouch which closes with Velcro is incorporated on the back for the cableâ the cable is MC4â the panels offer water resistanceâ also included is a MC4 to 5.5x2.1mm cableâ also included is a MC4 to Anderson cableâ the price point is excellentâ performance proved to be excellent during the tests that I ran (see below and watch video)Dislikes (not a big deal especially if incorporating them would increase cost):â no kickstands or alternative system is in place (while I am not a big fan of kickstands since they do not offer an adjustability feature, they do come in handy in many situations)â grommets for hanging the panels are not usedâ the fabric hanger loops may or may not lastSpecs: VOC = 22.4 V IMP=5.4 ATest Results:October 24, 2020: sky condition was sun with clouds (peek-a-boo) and temperature was 84 degrees, time 11:00-11:30 amPanel #1: 19.3 to 20.9 V, 2.8 to 3.6 APanel #2: 20.8 V, 3.5 APanel #3: 21.8 V, 5.21 ANovember 3, 2020: sky condition was no clouds, temperature was 73 degrees, time was 11:15Panel #1: 19.5 to 19.79 V, 4.95 to 5.33 ANovember 4, 2020: sky condition was partly cloudy, temperature was 77 degrees, time was 11:05 to 11:40 am (this test was video recorded)Panel #1: 17.0 to 19.9 V, 5.27 to 5.63 APanel #2: 19.4 to 19.7 V, 5.38 to 5.47 APanel #3: 19.5 to 19.9, 4.95 to 5.27 APanels #1, #2, #3 connected in series: 59.3 to 59.4 V, 5.19 to 5.22 A These panels have met my expectations and I am very happy with their quality and performance results. The price point was the first feature that put them on my radar and research list. Their quality and performance is what is keeping them in my emergency preparedness arsenal. I do not have any doubts that they will perform well when charging my power stations.

Title:
Review: I purchased this panel to complement the same-brand ALLPOWERS 300W Power Station battery unit. (purchased separately).I'm very satisfied with it. It's exactly as described, seems well-made and durable, easy to use and charges my battery unit quite efficiently and effectively. In full direct sunlight, it was easily putting 70-80W into my battery and only took a cpl hours to refill it completely. I was pleasantly surprised to see it keep pumping power (although reduced) when the sun wasn't hitting it directly. It has a couple of handy pop-out legs to keep it tilted at the right angle to the sun, and well as an attached pouch that holds the MC4 panel cables and a couple different types of adaptor cables to connect it to your power unit or device.Order fulfillment was quick and easy and it arrived in 2 days, well-packed for the trip. I'd definitely recommend this model if the power output meets your needs.

Review: I bought this portable, foldable, light weight panel with some fear. So many times things are priced frugally for a reason and that reason is poor workmanship and with lower value materials and the product doesn't do as advertised.I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving this panel.-Had two stands, one for each panel.-had the connectors I needed-light weight-small-easy to foldMOST IMPORTANTLY: It gave me between 43 Watts(clouds, not optimal setting) and 105 Watts(full sun at noon directly on panel) on my Bluetti 150!!!!I was worried that the voltage produced by this panel wouldn't be high enough as this Bluetti unit requires Open Circuit Volate of 16 but it worked marvelously.Success! I was so excited when I saw those numbers jump from 43 upwards. It gave me consistently 86 watts over a longer period of time.This is my first time using solar and I'm still awestruck at technology.The sun rays....being captured by this panel....and storing it in this cool box.... and I can then use that box to run all sorts of electrical devices....and it costs me nothing after the initial investment.......what a world...I ordered another panel and might even get a third.Edit: Bought a second panel and it works just as good as the first! I put it in series with the first and received double the watttage as hoped for. It hit up to 205 Watts! The average was about 182 watts during peak sunlight. I'm very happy with both panels. So simple to put in series as well.

Review: everything works fine but had to buy separate xt 60 wire to charge a ecoflow river pro. the picture shows a 5.5 conector is needed to charge it but you need a xt 60.

Review: I read in the reviews that the panel didn't come with an XT60 (to connect to my ecoflow) but to my surprise it did! It works exactly the same as the XT60i that I also ordered.The folding material and storage pouch turned out to be much better than I expected.The panel hit 71W on my ecoflow just randomly set out on my patio table at 2 pm.Can't beat this panel for the price!

Review: So, bought it this summer while on discount. Big mistake, waste of money.It's clumsy as hek, the small "legs" are weak, the material at the bottom is already falling apart and it touched the floor of my patio like 3timesThe panels are binding under their own weightsOdd to open and manipulateSo basically, that was a huge mistake from my side and should have try it when I could still send it back. Most conditions I tried it with, no current output at all into my ecoflow. In full exposure, yes it will charge, with perfect-esque conditions.You're better off with the normal though built ones, which are much more portable and durable.This product, in my experience so far is pretty disappointing.I wouldn't recomand it.
