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

Update:These solar panels continue to amaze me. Set-up and take-down are quick and easy. I've had them for about 2.5 months now, and am using them daily. I've been so happy, I ended up buying another set. Output is incredible. The maximum I have been able to see from one set is 539w. However, I am regularly seeing 380-400w with good weather and decent orientation. I now have both sets wired in series to my portable power station (Growatt) and have seen them peak at 1044w!!! Such amazing performance.I tested them both separately to see if there was any variance between them. I set them up as close to identical orientation as possible. It was a little overcast so the production wasn't super high, but the test was to see how close they would produce to one another, not their max. One put out 335w, the other put out 338w. I was impressed with their output similarity. It goes to show their manufacturing quality. The 3w difference is probably more due to a slight, non visible difference in orientation. Difference of less than 1% is more of a rounding error.The included cables are nice to have. My power station came with an MC 4 to XT-60i cable, so I didn't need the included one, but the included extension was nice to have and I use it. The stands are holding up well, and I have no fear of them breaking. The handles are holding up well too. Again, I am setting these up and taking them down daily, and have for the last 2.5 months, with no break in stands or brackets. I think the weak stand brackets in other reviews were from the previous version, the new ones seem more durable.Customer service is also very good. I've sent ZoupW several emails asking questions, and they get back to me in a timely manner.The carrying cases are also very nice. They offer good padding and make moving and storing the panels in the evening a breeze. The zippers are of good quality too.So far, there is really nothing I'm super unhappy about. The production is excellent, and has not changed or decreased since I got them.Small negatives:-Both panels came with a small scratch about an inch long, in different places. The production is not impacted or noticeably reduced, so it's not a big deal. I would prefer no scratch, but as these are portable and I plan to take advantage of that portability, I'm sure to add a few scratches to it.-One hinge that holds two panels together has been a little lose since I got it, but it has not gotten worse, and the rivets are holding well. ZoupW has been so great in the customer service department. They sent me detailed instructions on how to repair if the rivets fail, including what replacement rivets would work well, and offered to reimburse the cost of the replacement parts. So far, a replacement has not been necessary, nor do I think it will be, but I am confident in their help and assistance if required.I have watched many reviews for this panels, and others that are similar. In my opinion, this is the best one. Unmatched efficiency and price; a truly good value.Original Review:Longer review to come in the future because this item deserves it, but I wanted to quickly say something about it. I have had it for a month, and it has been excellent. The company, ZoupW, has been excellent as well, quick to respond to inquiries via email within 1-2 business days. 5 star experience, would buy again, and using daily.I am not an "Amazon Vine" reviewer, and purchased this with my own money. Like I said, more to come when I have time to give a proper review with images.

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 recently completed a solar setup with 6 ZOUPW 450W panels, the Bluetti AC500, and 3 B300K batteries, and I honestly couldn't be happier. The system has been performing phenomenally — I’m generating over 2.5kW of clean, reliable solar power, which keeps my essential loads running and charges the battery bank with no problem, even on partially cloudy days.The AC500 is the brains and brawn of the operation — it manages solar input effortlessly and distributes power to the batteries and devices with incredible efficiency. With over 9kWh of battery storage thanks to the 3 B300Ks, I’m confident we can run for extended periods completely off-grid if needed. The app interface, monitoring, and expandability make it feel like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.I haven’t even installed the Bluetti sub panel yet, which will allow me to supplement power directly to the house. Once that’s in place, I’ll be able to run high-demand appliances without even noticing we’re on solar. This system has turned my home into a quiet, self-reliant energy hub — no noisy gas generators, no fuel to store, and virtually no maintenance.If you're considering building a home backup or hybrid solar system, this combo is absolutely worth it. It’s powerful, scalable, and ready for any power outage or energy-conscious lifestyle. 10/10 would recommend!Note in my pictures I am only showing 3 of the panels but i have 6 total that are going to be installed !

Well packed and delivered with care all looks great but didn't have a chance to try it out yet, I think it should be okay. John H
