BOBUY Ring Camera Solar Panel Charger I have mounted this solar panel and connected it to my Ring Camera. It was easy to mount and all the necessary hardware was included. I had to drill into concrete tile roof and use the plastic anchors. The unit allows for vertical adjustment, but no horizontal adjustment. I would have preferred to have both available. But this is definitely not a deal breaker. See pictures. There are adapters that can be used for connecting to various versions of camera. I did not have to use any of them. It plugged directly into my camera. The ring app shows that a solar charger is connected. This is a plus in my book. (I mention this because one of the panels from another manufacturer I purchased in the past does not recognize the solar panel, even though it keeps the camera charged). This particular camera gets a lot of use since it is mounted right above my driveway. It has been in use now for a week. In this week there was a day that was raining all day, so next to no sunshine. It has kept the batteries at full charge. I am pleased with this solar panel charger.

The cord included in this kit is fantastic. Super heavy cable with a well-protected outer layer and both plug ends are installed well and water-tight. The receptacle included is very good, but they did cut a couple of minor corners doing the rubber grommets instead of more substantial plugs for the un-used holes, and for whatever reason the lid of mine doesn't snap *as securely* as another similar receptacle I own. Don't get me wrong, it snaps closed just fine for most intents and purposes on a house or building, but if say, you were considering installing the receptacle on something like an RV or camper van... I'd be slightly worried that enough highway breeze and turbulence could potentially flap this one open. Again, I think it will do fine in its normal intended installation on a house or structure, I'm just saying I have seen some that snap closed just a *little* more securely than this.

Purchased from other than tugapower.net but this same model PPS300L. The solar charge feature of this battery fails to charge this battery after just one successful solar charging. This apparent fly-by-night company A-Ipower doesn't believe in answering customers questions so they get a big fat single star rating and my warning to anyone thinking about spending money on any of their products to look elsewhere. There's too many reputable companies out there selling similar products to choose from.

I received my solar generator yesterday after charging, I tried my Keurig work without any problems and then used my CPAP machine last night for seven hours great. Then today I plugged in several different devices and it worked as stated in the manual, I purchased this so I can go camping in my travel trailer without electricity and still be able to use my CPAP machine. We plan on getting the solar panels now so we can charge the solar generator well dry camping. The generator is very well build and I see it lasting for years.

Great solar panels. They reflect close to the spec sheet supplied with the product. I also have a SunGold Inverter that is paired up with these panels. Very happy.

I recently purchased some new of this Solar Panel Wire, for my off-grid solar system, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The wires are incredibly durable, and the tinned copper construction ensures a long-lasting, corrosion-resistant connection. I bought the 30-foot length, but the have other shorter and longer lengths available also. This wire provides plenty of flexibility for positioning my solar panels, whether I'm setting them up on my RV, boat, or in a more remote outdoor setup. The black and red color coding makes it super easy to identify the positive and negative cables, which is essential for safety and ease of installation. The 10AWG gauge is perfect for handling the power I need without worrying about overheating or power loss. I’ve used it outside and it's held up exceptionally well against the elements, proving to be weather-resistant and reliable. Highly recommend this cable for anyone looking to enhance their off-grid solar setup. It’s high quality, reasonably priced, and works perfect..

This portable battery power station is AWESOME!!! This is a very high end high quality power station. It has the capability to charge devices via USB A (three ports at two different amps and charging speeds), USB C, 12v/8amp DC , 12v socket (cigarette lighter or 12v auxiliary outlet), and 2 electrical outlets. The screen is very large, easy to see and read. The battery is very easy to operate and understand. (I have another that is very particular about what it can charge at once and the instruction aren’t the best but, this one is clean cut easy to work with, use and understand. The battery itself is pretty portable and weight less than 5 lbs. Onto the awesome functionality of this battery. This battery arrive charged to 50% upon unboxing. We plugged the battery in at 1pm and at 3:57p the battery was fully charged so 100%. (At 3:40p the battery was at 93%) So roughly this battery probably take around 5.5 - 6 hours to fully charge from 0%. I did ran a couple of tests on this battery with our two phones and our large tablet. The first test I ran was with my iPhone 14 pro max. My iPhone was at 24% battery while the power station battery was at 100%. It took 15 minutes to get 25% charge with a usb C to lightening cable. So, in theory it will take roughly 60 minutes to charge my phone from 0% to 100%. It also cool to see that the display on the power station battery shows the wattage output thats being used to charge. My phone was pulling between 24-27w during charging. After charging my phone for 15 minutes the battery did not waiver from 100% The next test was my husband iPhone 13 mini. We plugged his phone in with the same USB C to lightening cable. His phone was able to get a 25% charge in 10 minutes. So, in theory his phone would require 40 minutes to charge from 0% to 100%. The power station battery dropped to 98% after charging both of our device one after the other for 25 minutes. My husbands iPhone 13 mini also only pulled 13-15w to charge. The last test we ran was on our iPad Pro 12.9. We plugged our tablet in with a usb C to C cable. The tablet was at 19% while the power station battery was at 98%. It only took 2 hour to fully charge our tablet to 100% while the power station battery was left at 86%. And to be completely honest, I did loose track of time of this test. So it might not take a full two hours to charge because I did loose track of time during testing. That being said we are incredibly surprised and happy with this power station! It’s a beast and works phenomenally well. This is a huge assets to have. The blower station battery has several ways to charge. It has the capability to charge through a car cigarette lighter (the cord is included), through a wall electrical outlet, through a usb c to c cord and brick (up to 60w), and through a 5v - 25v 4amp max solar panel. This power station can use all outlets and ports at once which is very impressive. Our previous battery could only do USB A port OR electrical outlet NEVER at the same time. This battery does it all! It’s a power house! It charges quick it self, it charges devices quick, it’s easy to understand and it’s easy to maintain requiring one charge every three months to maintain the battery. The only thing to keep in mind is that the USB C input and the DC input can not be used at the same time. Meaning you can not charge the device via two inputs at the same time. AND when using the DC input the USB C port has no output. Super simple and easy to work with. I seriously couldn’t be more happy with this power station battery and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone as every could appreciate the machine at one point or another. It would serve great for emergency purposes, camping, or survival. We got this for emergencies and travel and we couldn’t be happier with it.

For review today, I’ve got some Relaxweex 2 x 55 ft Solar Panel Wire Extension Cable 10awg (6mm²) 84 Strands of Tinned Copper Female Solar Connector for Outdoor Automotive Photovoltaic Rv Inverter Boat Camper Trailer, Black Red. Just your standard double jacketed, tinned copper PV/Solar cables and the price isn’t bad. I’d look at it in the future and consider it again as long as the price is right.

For review today, I’ve got the GENORTH 45in Adjustable Solar Panel Mount Brackets for 100-400 Watt Solar Panel,with Foldable Tilt Legs,Solar Panel Mounting Brackets Kits for RV, Roof, Boat, and Off-Grid. These are nicely built, sturdy aluminum mounts. They come with spare M6 cap head bolts that they intend for you to use to mount your panels and the cross beams to the brackets. I personally would have preferred they use the same M8 hardware across everything just so you wouldn’t need multiple Hex bits, tho they did include some hex keys. As it is currently, you need a 5mm hex bit for the M6 bolts and a 6mm hex bit for the M8 which are the ones that hold the angle adjustment and the hinge pieces together. I do understand why they are using the smaller M6 bolts since I have run across some 100w solar panels whose holes were too small for the M8 bolts I was using, causing me to need to drill out the holes in the panel frame. Tho, while I’d still prefer M8 across the board for simplicity, I won’t hold it against them at all. You only have to drill out a panel mounting hole once whereas you might want to adjust the angle or tighten the mount fasteners down a bit more often. Comparing these to other, very similar mounts, that are produced under many brand names, that I own a few sets of, those come with plastic knob bolts and wing nuts for the 2 places that hold the angle setting bracket piece in place. While that is quicker and easier on initial setup, I’m not sure how long before the plastic knob breaks leaving just a regular hex head bolt that would require a wrench to adjust. These use the M8 cap head bolts with nuts instead. I would probably just prefer to avoid the plastic knobs and stick with the M8 cap head across everything. This one has some holes numbered that might be useful for some with repeatability when you adjust or setup multiple brackets. I just want to point out, in another review where someone is complaining that the mount isn’t sturdy and appears to be using it for a flexible panel while they aren’t using the included braces so of course it isn’t going to be sturdy in that instance. That would be more of a PEBKAC issue instead of one with the mount. At the time of review, these are the exact same price, for one pair, as the normal price of the set of name brand brackets except these come with 2 extra cross braces. If these will have the frequent coupons/sales that brings the price down like the others do then it’s a no brainer for me to get these GENORTH ones over those when I need more mounts in the future. I wouldn’t pay more for these over the ones without the cross bracing tho because I mount the bottom of mine to built wooden stands and the top is already plenty sturdy when you have solar panels mounted to them. If you were just wanting to use these mounts alone with solar panels then the bracing would definitely help keep the bottom from spreading when not mounted to another surface and they would be worth a little more than the others and are equally if not slightly more well made quality material.

I just received this smart management module, and it appears to be well-made. It’s a sturdy gray unit. I haven’t installed it fully yet, as I’m waiting for a bit of help with the wiring, but I’ve looked over the instructions, and they seem clear enough. The concept makes sense; it’s supposed to help manage the power load on your generator so it doesn’t get overloaded. It says it can handle up to eight of these modules, so you can control several different circuits. I’m hoping this will make using my generator during power outages much easier.

When I first received the product, I was hit by how cheaply made it actually is. However, I can't complain considering I paid under $10. The product does work and has a nice display. It's really isn't meant for LiFePo4 batteries but the settings are adjustable so you can probably make it work if needed. Next time I'm in need of a inexpensive charge controller, I will spend just a few dollars more for something a little more robust.

I disconnected my factory OEM cable from my solar panel, and solar generator, and then swapped it out for this cable. The OEM cable is only roughly 1', and this one is obviously 10', but the digital readout on the front of the generator reported that the wattage coming in through the new cable was the same, which was by no means enough to push the limits of either cable's ampacity, but the conductors seem to be of the same gauge, and the adapter plugs on this cable appear to be of good quality, on par with the OEM unit, and securely fastened together with the panel, and plugged in securely to my generator, as well as my OEM one did. For the ~$25, for a 10' pre-made cable, I would say the value is on par. Not a great deal, but fair, compared to other offerings on the market. It functions as it should, and I recommend it to anyone who needs one.

powerful battery, for all devices, including laptop, this is very helpful, and good quality.

I do have a few other fold-up solar panels, including one that was used on a long hike. I do have other fold-up solar panels with three panels, including this one. The price for this one is an exceptionally reasonable one, especially given the fact that these can be much more expensive. Similar to my other panels, this one comes with four quick-release carabiners. From experience, it’s easy to simply hang on the outside of a backpack, but this panel is a hefty two-pound one. These panels aren’t charged when they arrived, however, I’m not worried about whether or not they work (they will). Solar options are usually considered to be a backup method, however, when one of mine was taken on the Long Trail, it became a primary one. It was used to charge a phone and worked exceptionally well. These panels aren’t meant to power up something like a tablet, but is rather meant to be used with smaller devices such as a cell phone. That doesn’t mean this won’t charge up a tablet, but is more suitable for smaller devices. Unless it’s really sunny out, these panels would take some time to charge. When I put panels like these outside to charge, I try to place them at a 45° angle to maximize coverage. I do that with the smaller, flexible solar panels as well. I’m enamored with anything solar, but have to be realistic as to how much power I can draw from them in my particular location. Before folding them up, make sure you dust the panels off because dusty panels can cause damage to them. I do love this type of solar panel, but I’m biased … in a positive way. As mentioned, the price is more than equitable (under $40), but make sure to check out the specs and be realistic about the capabilities of these panels in your area. This setup I love and had I seen it in my local big box store, it would have been in my cart.

Solar panels never provide their rated capacity, especially over USB. This one is magic. It produces MORE. The USB-C port alone produces 33 watts. Using USB-C and USB-A together I got 43 watts from this 40 watt panel. That’s insane. The screenshot is after it got heated by the sun which reduced it to 40 watts…this panel is awesome.
