      @@VMUKUMAR Apparently me too...I'm only getting 200-500 MILLIamps when I'm lucky from connecting four in series to achieve a 48v system. With a 100Ah battery bank discharged to 50pct. will require 50Ah. If 8 hours of good sunlight per day and assuming 500ma that means 12-13 days to bring the batteries to full charge. That's assuming the best output I've seen. Probably going to be double that...

      exactly what I was gonna say.. according to my calculations that thing is only putting out 17watts but honestly when he opened it and I saw the size I knew what we were in for.

    I just recieved one today and going over these reviews. I doubted it could really charge a car battery, but I'm impressed!

    These panels are not good. I was curious so bought a cheap 100watt panel. I already have a good 100w panel and renogy rover mppt controller set up on van. The cheap panel came. It was far too small to generate anything like 100w and on test showed approx 10 watts. Garbage. You occaaionally get bargains but you mostly also get what you pay for.

      Yeah too good to be true, used panels operate around 5% less than new I heard and you can pick them up for around the same price

    This is FALSE ADVERTISING especially if it is advertise as 100W and you are getting 15W only. This kind of advertising must stop. This is a waste of people's hard earn money. If it was me, I would get a COMPLETE REFUND because false advertising must not be tolerated.

    I just purchased one off eBay for $40 with an upgrade to a 40a controller. Awaiting delivery and hoping it works well! A Renogy 100w is MUCH more expensive! My camping buddy bought a Zamp Solar 100w system for $400! Based on your review and experience, I may buy three more for a total of 400w!

      I'm thinking of making a DIY PVC frame with small bungees to hold it. Using a "T" on the top of the frame would allow a "kickstand" of sorts to be able to angle it to face the Sun. I'll try to post pics of this inexpensive project~

    That’s not an MPPT , it’s a PWM charge controller.

      Some have a knock down/up converter. Essentially does the same job just not as efficient since u draw more amps lower ur wattage production. But still safe on batteries.

    I just happened to buy the same kit. What does B1 mean? And did you connect any load to the controller?

    • @cwtrucker3580
      @cwtrucker3580 Год назад +1

      default setting for a Gel battery. B01 is Gel. BO2 is AGM. B03 is the Flooded type. you need to set the battery to the correct type. I have a standard deep cycle flooded battery.
      you need to set the float voltage to 14.0

    100w but 50w on the box, told us its worthless from the start and you showed us its even worse at the end...You been RRP off,,, Do your RIP guy,,pay less for "less", so we pay more for "more"

    Hi everyone. I had recently bought two of these solar panels but ended up sending them back not believing they could be 100w. Can anyone verify if they are genuinely 100w panels. I just can't believe they can be so cheap.

      It's not real 100 watt panels. Lots of scams happening even more now since they wanted to canabalized Elon musk before we can get the free energies.

      They are not. Copy/past of my top-level post:
      "If it isn't about 42" by 21", AKA 1 meter by half a meter, it isn't a 100 Watt panel.
      Ignore what our wives say, size matters.
      And fur mah feller AmurriKhans, that's about half a bathtub long by almost a bathtub wide.
      As far as cost per watt goes, you're far better off buying a REAL 100 Watt panel."

    this regulator is dangerous and must always be observed. for me it just pumped 16v into the battery when I'm not looked at it and the battery boiled ...
    better buy einen mppt regler, your is a fake mppt

    • @nyrubin
      @nyrubin 4 года назад

      This one probably has a knock down/up converter in it. Even if it is a fake mppt it's still pretty safe
