   I have bought and installed 16 of these 100W 12V Eco-Worthy panels from tugapower.net, to add to my original field of 4 100W 12Vpanels made by Ramsond (they were the cheaper panel a few years ago, Renogy & Eco-Worthy seems to have taken their market place recently) Each of these panels produced 5.5A+ and normally over 20V in full Florida sun, as measured on my multi-meter (I’ve uploaded photos with this review) I have my 20 panels wired in series, in groups of 4, running to my Outback Flexmax80 MPPT charger via two 10AWG runs, to my bank of Trojan Deep Cycle Batteries. These panels give me the expected VOC of 80+ (48V nominal) and at the sun’s peak of the day I get the expected 27 amps of current. (MPPT charge controllers take the extra high voltage and converts it to charging current, if you’re not familiar with the technology, check it out – super efficient) The only issue (really a non-issue for them) that I didn’t catch is that the panel is slightly thinner than the Renogy or Ramsond, which made securing them to my rack just a little bit uneven next to the fatter older panels. Also, the corners on the panels look a little sloppily put together, a few are bowed/bulged out instead of having a neat seam, but this aesthetic doesn’t appear to create a functional problem and certainly cannot be seen from the ground when roof mounted & producing energy – so it’s not a big deal for me. The panels are, in my experience so far, worth the money ($140.00 currently) compared to other competitors in the market place. I’ve liked them enough from my first order to place a couple subsequent orders to get me where I am now at 2000watts (2.0 KW) As a quick ending note for any newbies – you have to realize that in the realm of solar a 100W label on a product rarely gets you a true 100W of power. Using an MPPT charge controller will help with squeezing out the potential wattage, but especially if using a standard charge controller you have to understand that wattage is figured based on Amps out x Voltage, and non mppt charge controllers use the batteries voltage to determine the charging voltage. For example a fully charged 12V battery will be average 12.8vdc so a charge controller will charge just slightly above that – say at 13.1V. So, figure 13.1V charging potential X 5.5amps (lets use 1 panel in full sun for simplicity) = 72watts of power from that panel. If using a MPPT charge controller, it takes the panels VOC, which in this case is about 20v x the same 5.5 amps = 110watts of power and is able to take all of the power from the panel it COULD produce and push more current into the battery than it otherwise would. So, conversely a discharged battery at say 11.8V (charging from a panel like this, in full sun) x 5.5amps = 64.9watts into the battery. Panels like these CAN produce their rated power in full sun and generally with the assistance of a mppt controller (because until your battery is darn near charged, you only get about 2/3 of your rated power production… and by then you don’t need it as much because your battery is full!) I hope this helps anyone who may be mystified as to why their power production calculations aren’t working out – usually it isn’t the panel – it’s the charging conditions including angle to the sun / time of year. Since going to MPPT, I’ve increased my solar harvest a lot… All after several years of head scratching. Happy harvesting folks! – David

   Good price, quick delivery, great for off-grid solar battery charging

   I bought these panels to use with other panels that I already had. They are high quality and perform well. I like the fact that there are some long wires on the back so you can easily connect them together. I recommend these panels if you’re looking to get started with solar or if you’re looking to add some panels to your existing setup.

   Great product. Been buying the same panels for a while now. Only reason for 4 stars is the product has always been same dimensions and the latest purchase the panel was shorter, my ocd didn’t like that, it was at least 8 inches shorter. It kinda messed me up a bit when planning for a specific work space.

   Bought this for an Exo-Worthy 200w kit made it to 300w and it works great but does not charge the battery fast enough do yourself a favor and buy 200w panels or higher 100w is not enough to charge a 12v 100mah battery in one day with 4 hours of sunlight minimum

   so far i like it

   Bruh this thing is surprisingly good.
   I’ve seen it hit above 90w.

   This is a good solar panel. Quality is real good for the price. I’m using it on a fishflash solar generator and it charges very well. We’ll keep it in mind on a future project for solar for my garage.

   Great product but only received one of two from dragonfly delivery? One box of two received, was supposed to get two. Scanned two but handed my friend only one to bring me! Not first time with delivery but it is with Dragonfly I’m surprised!

    Added the panel to my existing three and the power out increased by about 20% to 25% which is about right.
    These panels are mounted flat on a garage roof therefor total wattage is a bit lower than if angled into the sun. Panel packed very well with no damage – next day delivery. Charged up a 100 AH partly discharged battery in about 4 hours.
    Would highly recommend purchase of these solar panels.

    I received two of these panels this year and I tested both to over 100 watts! Best deal out there in solar panels.
