   The SOLPERK panel is nowhere near IP67 waterproof as it claims. It uses SAE, not MC4 connectors and is rated to output 43.2V to the included 24V battery charge controller. Without a battery, this controller fluctuates between 17-20V. Without the 24V battery controller, it delivered up to 26W to my 2kWh battery, but given the time of day and month, this is expected output. The kickstand needs tools to secure fully and there are no safety or reliability lab test logos on the panel. Its claim of IP67 waterproof certification means it can be submerged in 1 meter deep water for 30 minutes without failing. The SAE connectors it uses aren’t waterproof at all, and the black box on the back of the panel has openings on the top and bottom (see pics). The panel itself could perhaps tolerate light rain if you can keep the connector on its 10-foot cable dry, but humidity or wind-driven rain could certainly get into the box on the back. While there’s not much point to using a solar panel in the rain, I can’t believe anything stated about the panel if they flat out lie about its weather rating. Who knows if the panel itself can actually tolerate being rained on. It also means you can’t leave the panel outdoors without constant supervision or a very-reliable weather prediction. I measured up to 46V directly from the panels without the charge controller. This voltage dropped as the panels warmed up to 125F on the front and back. The 43.2V rating is under standardized test conditions after the panels warm up. The included battery charge controller is supposed to charge 24V batteries so it seems strange it only outputs up to 20V, but it may just not work correctly without a battery connected that it can read a voltage from to know what voltage to output. I don’t have any 24V batteries to test with. Unplugging the battery charger, I plugged the panel directly into a 2kWH battery with a port accepting up to 60V directly from a solar panel. With careful adjustments of panel direction at 3:30pm, I barely got it to deliver 26W to the battery after it warmed up, and it kept falling back to 25W. Given my location, the time of day and month of the year, an AI says this is an expected output given the 30W ideal conditions rating. The kickstand still moves a too easily when I tighten the wingnuts as hard as I can with my fingers. They should have added friction or corrugated washers to make the stand more stable. Otherwise, you need strong fingers or pliers to really secure it in place. SOLPERK has been selling solar panels with decent (but not stellar) star ratings since 2021, so hopefully they’ll stick around to support their products. They still don’t have a web site or phone number, only a mass-market email address for support. Overall, I dock two stars for lying about the IP67 waterproof rating, advertising MC4 instead of SAE connectors, and having no lab safety testing, and the loose kickstand.

   Received this SOLPERK 15W 12V Solar Panel Kit for review. Since this was temporary set up, I used a tripod for the panel and hooked it up to my Travel trailer 12v battery system consisting of 2 12v deep cycle batteries. Both batteries were at full charge 6 weeks ago when the panel was hooked up and the shore power battery maintainer was disconnected. We’ve had a few partially sunny days and but mostly we’ve had cloudy weather over the last 6 weeks here in the Seattle region. The travel trailer was unused with the exception of some interior maintenance where the interior lights were on for several hours. So the batteries were on a light load a few times. Tested the battery levels today and they show readings consistent with a full charge. The batteries are over 4 years old and I did expect some power drain. As there was none, that indicates this 15 watt solar panel is doing its job. I will update this review next spring or sooner if this unit fails in some way to maintain these batteries at a proper level. So far it’s performance is very satisfactory.

   I have been trying to get a nice set of solar panels to use when we are out camping, hunting, or just hanging out at our little spot in the woods. It’s still winter here so I haven’t had a chance to really get out and use this, but I have done some early testing. My first impressions are positive, and the solar panel seems up to the task. I tried it with a couple of different devices as well as a six-volt battery and it does work as expected. The three ports have ends that are pretty much standard with all of my other stuff like this which makes it easy to interchange and chain my stuff together. I also like that they provided two different ends which will allow me to connect to things how I want: I especially like the connector with the two bare wires. If, when we start to use this more outdoors and we find issues that come up or something fails, I will be sure to come back and update my review. For now, I have to say that this is a pretty good solar set up and it seems to be within the price range that someone should expect to pay.

   I love taking this with us camping. It actually really well. Set up is easy. It charges faster than I expected. It’s great.

   This solar panel is easy to setup and use. We experienced no problems with it. Charging is steady and so convenient when you’re camping. I love being able to charge things off of it because we are definitely not ultra light campers.

   I appreciate the waterproof aspect. I love how portable it is. This is definitely a good choice.

   I hooked this up to my golf cart and set it outside to charge the main battery (we have gas). This keeps it topped off and when we took it out last it had no problem keeping up. I also plugged this into several lead acid batteries to let it auto charge. It doesn’t ave a ton of money but hey, free is free. The charge controller works well and is waterproof – found out whoops when I left this in the rain – it’s MADE for it! Of all the smaller panels on tugapower.net this so far is the best with 15w output. The only thing that could have made it better is a USB-c charging attachment. Most of my stuff charges with that including our battery packs. It does come with clips and terminal post attachments however – both acceptable.
