I like the size of the housing it’s compact enough to fit in small spaces and has adequate air space for cooling. Initially planning on connecting this MPPT controller to my 320 Watt bi-facial panel to connect to a 12V 280Ah LFP battery, however, the input connectors are too small for a 10AWG wire. The MPPT controller is good for a smaller system maybe one 175 watt panel or two 100 watt panels max. I opened up the box to see how the circuit board was designed and which components were used. The MOSFETs are spread out sufficiently to dissipate heat on the aluminum back heat sink. The toroidal coil looks a little on the smaller side and the windings are not tightly wound. The toroidal coil is the main component to step the voltage down from the PV panel to the battery voltage. I switched from connecting the 320 watt panel to a single 120 watt bi-facial PV panel and a 15Ah 12V LFP battery. I gave it a four star rating because I like the compact design and the build materials are inline with the price. At just around thirty six bucks for the controller delivered its a good solution for a self-contained off grid small system. Such as powering lights in a small shed that has no utility power.
Below is my original review. I thought it would be best to post an update for those that are considering these panels. I’ve had them for enough time and through a season to update with real specs: See my photo! These panels deliver FULL wattage to your storage and loads. I have these in series/parallel for my 24v controller and inverter. It’s summer 2024 and the other day we had a power outage affecting 5k homes in the area. My shop was running as if nothing happened. Full on AC, compressor, lights, power tools, chargers. These panels pushed 15a @24v with no problems. The panels are staggered in age yet they all perform the same and deliver to my storage array and grid. 4 of these are enough to power my shop for 6+ hours. The next day, my storage was full by 8am. Granted this is summer, however this is the ideal time to rate these and judge them for what they can do. Some other reviewers state they don’t deliver but I can assure you that my panels deliver equally, efficiently and are working well with the environment they are in. I hope this update helps inform you to the longevity of these panels. I purchased these panels 2 at a time last summer and I now own 8 total. It’s been more than six months post deployment and I have to say that I am extremely overjoyed by the results of these panels. One did arrive completely shattered but the customer support is amazing and I had another panel on my door in a few days. These are durable to a point but they are made of glass so if you get a broken one, don’t sweat it! I configured my panels to work as series/parallel to a solar combiner box. From my solar combiner, I send the combined power to a controller that then sends the power over to a bank of LiON batteries @1200ah 24vdc. In turn, a mega beefy 240v@60hz inverter draws from the batteries at 24vdc and sends two phase AC over to the ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) that controls the balance between line and inverter. This winter, the biggest draw was my electric shop heater which runs on a timer. Most of the winter months, I managed to see a daily use of pure solar to power my entire shop. Only a few days in January did I see the switch trip over to line power. Thanks to these panels, I can run my shop exclusively on solar! My compressor, lights, tools and even my welder all are powered by solar! The whole situation would be impossible if it were not for the affordable cost of these panels. I plan to add a few more and push my luck with charging an EV using solar. I just need more storage and I’m golden! This is a fantastic purchase and the price is cutting the competition in half!
Rather than buying two of the same type of 12V solar panel and wiring them in series to get the 24V I needed, this one panel did what I needed more simply and at a reasonable cost. I did not need the included PWM solar controller; I was using a more sophisticated MPPT controller. The MPPT controller recommended a 24V solar panel for a 12V battery, to compensate for the poor and varying sun conditions I had. This 24V panel worked great! Using daily measurements from the MPPT controller, I found that this panel's voltage kept the input voltage often at over 20V even on a cloudy day and/or in the shade of trees! Keeps my battery charged under less-than-ideal solar conditions!
It charges very fast on 110ac. I used on my road trip charge with camera and back up phone battery. It charges fast. I also used on portable fan. The unit has worked well. All the output ports works great. I like the fact that it has flashlight and Bluetooth speaker functions. Very convenient to use outdoor traveling. Good back up power station when power goes out. I’m impressed with the quality.
This solar fan work better than the radiator fan which I had up there. I have a plastic shed and it stays at a good temperature.
This is smaller and much better made than I was hoping for. It's about the size of an iPad. I got this for 2 reasons; 1) I have other portable solar panels but they are at 100watt and most portable generators under 300 watt hours only can take 60 watts charging ( there are some exceptions so look ) and 2) you can charge via USB and USB-C directly from the panel. No need to really have a power pack if you just need to charge up your phone or smaller items. This folds down into almost nothing and has a nice handle, side pocket, a USB-c cord, two hooks, a dc5 cord with adapters to fit most units. Out of the box it's ready to go. I plugged it into 3 different solar generators without issue. It's generally rain proof and is great to just toss in your pack, your car or to use at the beach. Now, that all being said, I could only get 30 watts max out of it. Using the 80% rule, 40 stated watts is going to get you about 32 watts in the real world, and this came pretty close, so it is effective. Charging phones and simiar items is going to be perfect, charging up a solar generator is going to take a long time. A 250 WH system would take over 8 hours. So, keep that in mind. For at the pool, the beach, short trips into the outdoors, this thing rocks. I just want to charge up my phone and this little kit does it just fine. The straps are good, the clips are good, the material is good. This was a really nice surprise and a great addition to my solar charging options and certainly one of the best for it's size.
The cover looks to be in good quality. It covers the EcoFlow pretty well. Getting the elastic opening over the handle part is a little bit cumbersome but other than that, it fits perfectly.
Easy installation works great!
First thing first customer service was amazing. I had ordered this portable because I wanted it just incase of an emergency. So when my package was delivered I noticed my package was outside but I didn’t go outside right away to get it because I was attending my daughter. When I was about to go outside to get my packet I noticed someone I didn’t recognize I didn’t think nothing of it until I noticed him walking away with my packet. So then I realized he was stealing my packet. I was home alone at the time and I was not about to open my door while I had my daughter so of course I let the person steal my packet. I contacted costumer service right away and they were so nice to send me another packet. Now did I report this men? Yes I did. Now what do I think about the item honestly it’s amazing it’s literally what it shows on the picture. The flash light is amazing if you go outside where it’s dark literally it shows everything. It’s that bright. I will be buying another one soon so I can have another one in my car that’s for sure that’s how amazing this portable is. I recommend this item. Especially with power going off at your home this is a great thing to have incase of an emergency.
After a lot of research, I chose this 10KW inverter/charge controller for my first solar system and I'm very happy that I did. It has been running flawlessly for 5 months now. Currently I have 3.6KW PV array on 1 of the 2 PV channels and 21 KWHrs of LIFEPO4 battery capacity. The output of inverter is wired to my home panel via multiple single circuit transfer switches. I'm a retired controls engineer with a small business at home so this type system works great for me. I can selectively power any circuit in my home except a 13KW tankless water heater. I installed the system primarily for grid down backup but I've used it so far to shave around 75% off my electric bill. Had a minor issue during during startup and contacted Sungold. They responded promptly but I had already found problem was insufficient battery for a large inverter and corrected. Sunny also contacted me recently to follow up on problem. I highly recommend.
this panel was slightly more expensive per watt then other options, but its overall dimensions were perfect for the install location on my truck cap. I have been using this setup for about 9 months now and have had no issues at all with this panel or my component configuration.
Sometimes it’s difficult to find a specialty product like this one. The mesh is just the right strength so that it’s not so heavy duty that it can’t be clipped into whatever shape you desire while at the same time strong enough to create an adequate barrier between your equipment and any type of outdoor pest. I plan to not only use this for my solar panels, but also around the bottom of my outdoor HVAC unit which seems to attract all sorts of animals looking for warmth. Four inches is the perfect width for my needs and the ability to spread it over 100 ft is amazing.
The use of the VITERI switch is simple, thanks to its double shooting mechanism that allows you to easily change between the energy of the public network and that of the generator. Easy removal of knock outs The VITERI 100A transfer switch offers a practical, reliable and safe solution for energy administration, which makes it a valuable investment for owners looking for tranquility during energy cuts. Anti electrical risk FREE PADLOCKS are very important for people's safety. VITERI well done! 100% recomendable
It's actually a lot better than what I thought it would be, all of the wires have ferrules Properly crimped on the ends and the bus bar across the top of the fuses, fuse housing very nice touch makes for a very clean install. The box is a very strong plastic and the clamps on them are actually safety clamps. You have to push the bottom lever To pull them up to get it to open, so I'm very happy, if I ever need another one, this will be my go to combiner box. One note People complaining about the wire color really? That's the problem you have? because technically you can use any color you want it could all be the same color so for everyone else ignore those this is a great combiner box.
I was looking for a simple but durable mid range power station for our camping needs. Often we camp at sites that have power and water hook up. This works for us most of the time but if we decide to do something off the grid or even if we need additional power resources on our site, it only makes sense to have a portable power station available. This power station is small, but it has multiple ports to cover anything you may need to plug into it to get charged. What makes this one really great is you can charge it three different ways.... A provided AC Adapter, Solar Panels, or via car charger (socket). I purchased solar panels so even if off the grid, I can charge it up and always have access to power. The only minor issue with this device is it tends to heat up. But, that is common with this type and size of portable power station. It does have a fan to cool it down. For the price point, this is a great buy and has been a really good addition to our electrics when camping.
