Super concentrated is right! I was surprised to receive a booklet that gave all of it’s safety testing information. One discrepancy that gave me pause is that it is an extremely caustic compound (that has to be properly handled and diluted), and the information in the booklet warned about exposure and handling safety in such a way that I can’t see how they can also claim “ Eco-Friendly & Safe: Even though it's tough on dirt, Shabebe solar panel cleaner is gentle on the environment. Our cleaner is free from harmful chemicals like ammonia and phosphates, making it completely safe for use around people, pets, and plants. You can trust it to deliver powerful cleaning results while being kind to your home and the planet.” The warnings in the booklet seemed to suggest otherwise. To be safe, I passed it on to my son who uses solar panels to power his tiny home. He is going to test it out and let me know. I don’t doubt that it can cut through residue like no one’s business. My concern is how it will affect the ground and any plant, insect or animal life that it may come in contact with during the application process. I won’t dock it a star for my hesitations, but I would caution you to read the entire booklet and take the safety warnings seriously if you are going to use this product.

Have used the first two 355watt Solar Panels I ordered, for about two months, with small (First Time-Newbie) Hybrid Inverter. They are working great and well built panels. Just ordered two more as soon as I saw the 2-PCS option was available again. It had changed to only being able to order 30-PCS, and I'm not ready to get that many now.

To use on newer Jackery units, I had to get the DC7909 to DC8020 adapter plug.

High quality cable at a very reasonable price. - Good thick insulation - Connectors fit standard solar panel connectors perfectly - Connector fit's standard XT-60 solar generator perfectly - Connectors are professionally installed - Simply a Plug-and-Plug Bottom Line: A good high-quality factory cable, in a heavier gauge, that should work for many years. A great value.

Second unit to catch fire! First one caught fire without anything plugged in. I just switched it on then off and it popped and caught fire. Ordered a second unit which worked much better. But today I tried to run my RV AC for a minute to see if it would handle it since my other reliable 3000w unit runs our AC for an hour, and instead it too caught fire! Why does this have fuses if it's just going to catch fire when loaded??

This is advertised as an outdoor camera solar charging panel. It has a thick and rugged surface which seems like it would stand up to weather and small bumps. It is lightweight and smaller than a frisbee, so it will not be super obvious on your dwelling. It also comes with adaptors for various ports and mounting equipment. The cord is long, so you would not have to put this directly next to your camera. This is a good outdoor charger for cameras. HOWEVER, it does have a USB C compatible cord. I am able to use this panel inside my house with window sunlight to charge anything with a USB C. It is great to have around for power outages or to save a bit of electricity. I can use it to charge fans, lights, hand warmers, and power banks. I have not used it with a laptop or phone because I use the power banks for those. Please note, the product does not suggest using this for charging other things besides outdoor security cameras! I am just saying that I have found it works to charge USB C items too.

I have three 175W panels on the roof of my motorhome running through a Victron 100/30 MPPT powering a 800W Victron Inverter and a 200aH AmpereTime lithium battery. I don't have a huge power requirement. On a sunny day, it brings my 200aH lithium from 50% at dawn to 100% (while consuming power via fan, laptop, Starlink, phone chargers) around noon. With those three panels in parallel I've seen as high as 420W-430W in the Utah desert. Generally, it's around the high 300W range. Don't expect 175W from each unless you live on Mercury. However, compared to other manufacturer panels, these are significantly more efficient (more accurate) than most, from my experience. No complaints besides not including mounting brackets.

I am a solar novice. Learning as I go. This cable worked perfectly, allowing me to connect our Bluetti 200W portable solar panel to our EcoFlow River 3 Plus. Brilliant! 10 foot cable length is perfect for us. It allows us to keep our power station in the shade while the panel gets full sun. Took a little more force than expected to make one of the connections to our panel, but I would expect this to get easier over time. Very minor negative: The resealable plastic bag containing the cable had a big tear in the middle. Looked like someone may have torn open the bag to remove the contents, ignoring the reclosable seal.

Looks good so far, assembly was easy. Will update after I get some use out of it. Some residual oil from testing is a comfort that it was indeed tested.

At first, getting the cover situated on the smaller generator took a moment to figure out, but once in place, it worked seamlessly. The plastic window made it easy to access the outlets and check the gauges, even in rainy conditions. The reflective material not only helps keep the generator cooler but also makes it highly visible at night—especially useful when pulling into the driveway. The cover is designed with multiple attachment points, making it adaptable for different generator sizes. I’ve used it on both a 10k-watt and a 5k-watt model, and the fit was effortless. It simply slipped over the top, and the adjustable straps secured it firmly in place. Beyond functionality, it looks great sitting in the driveway, providing much-needed protection against debris and rain. Made from a strong, fire-retardant material, this cover is a solid choice for anyone looking to safeguard their generator with durability and convenience. Just need to make sure to size accordingly.

I purchased the 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller two months ago, for my 1200W solar tracker system with a 24V 280Ah battery bank mounted on a trailer for mobile use, and so far, I'm content. Setting it up was straightforward, and it seems to be efficiently managing the power from my solar panels. It has versatility as it is designed for various battery types (FLD, LiFePO4, SLD, GEL, AGM), although I'm currently running it with my LiFePO4 setup. While I haven't had it for an extended period yet, the MPPT technology seems to be doing its job effectively, optimizing the energy harvest for my mobile off-grid needs. The dual USB port is not currently in use, but it is a handy addition for charging devices directly from the battery bank. Based on this initial experience, I recommend giving the Topbull 60A MPPT a try – I'm pleased with its performance!

This review should have been for the panel I ordered. I ordered the Futuresolar 100W Monocrystalline 12V Panel. I received a 24V Panel instead. So since I have it instead, then I will review it for tugapower.net customers. Disclaimer: Even though I received the wrong panel, I am an avid solar builder and user: Meaning I can make this work with what I am doing. All it takes is the right Solar Charger/Regulator to accomplish this. It must be rated for 12/24VDC input and configured for 12V battery charging. Now back to the (24V) 100W Solar Panel Let's talk price... If I had purchased it, I would have paid $59.99 at this point in time. If I would have received a 12V 100W panel I would think I got an excellent deal. Even so, the 24V 100W panel is a great deal too. If all was based on top quality. Quality: Well now here is where it gets a little sloppy. The aluminum frame is good and strong as any other panel I have. The protected corners are good for the panel too. There are the properly spaced bracket holes (4) for mounting on a rail or roof. The front side appears to be made very well. All solder/foil connections are smooth and well made. I find no issues on the front. The panel uses standard MC4 connectors which I find to work very well in all my applications. The power box is surprisingly well sealed from moisture. The box also has well soldered connections so no problems there. Now for the area of concern to me. The panel is inserted within the metal frame and should have a good bead of caulk all the way around the inside edges. That is not the case with the one I received. See the photos. I pause here to let you look at them. I don't know if that will be a problem or not in inclement weather, but it really takes the same amount of time to do it right than it does looking the way it is. How Does It Perform? Well at the moment I am not set up for a 24V system to do major tests on this 24V panel, but I did measure the output voltage. It is rated for 29.70 open voltage and I got 29.8VDC. I tested on a bright, cloudless, sunny day and set optimum angle using a dot angle finder. This so far is telling me that I can count on some good wattage out of this panel. So in the end, I am reviewing the 24V panel sent instead of the 12V one. My review is as such: This is a decent panel for the price offered. I expected it to be lower quality just having seen the price alone. And again, I emphasise the panel itself is good. It was just the caulking/sealing issue I have. I give this panel 3 Stars for meeting my expectations. That may change in the near future when I can run some wattage tests on it and connect it properly to my 12V system. Do I still recommend this panel. Yes IF you need a 24V panel. And some or most RV'rs do need 24V systems. Other notable mentions: In the "About this Item" It mentions Portable and Lightweight. Well this is not "A compact and foldable design" And it does weight 13lbs. You do not want to be just toting one of these around. It is meant to be fixed to something. UPDATE: 2/14/2025 A beautiful sunny day to set up and test this panel for you guys and gals. As you will see in the photos provided, reference numbers in the bottom left corner to aid in explaining the photo. 001 This is the solar charge regulator I am using because you can use either 12/24VDC with it. This panel being a 24VDC. I will plug the panel into the side of my homemade solar charger box for power storage. 002 Setup on the ground facing directly into the sun. 003 Backside of panel with my charging rig. 004 The battery monitor that tracks charging as well as discharging. 005 Showing I am receiving a charge from the panel. It is taking in 24V and charging my battery with the proper 12Volts This is an MPPT controller. 006 This shows the internals of my build. 50Ah LiFePO4 battery. 007 Shows the input from the panel. This particular input allows a solar panel of either 12V or 24V. Then this power goes through the controller and then into the battery. 009 On the opposite side, there are two more ports. XT60 allows 12VDC IN or OUT. The port labeled charger is strictly and INPUT. I can charge this battery through this port with a wall brick or an external solar charger regulator and panel. 011 Shows my Power storage box closed. This box can be open or closed while charging or discharging. The monitor is very handy displaying incoming voltage, Amps, Watts and battery percentage and time remaining for charge completion or till dead battery. Test Results: I started the test with 92% remaining battery. I set up the 24V panel for optimum gain, and plugged it into my solar charging port. I was charging at around 3.01 amps, 13.5V with 41Watts. Of course it took less than a couple of hours to fully charge my power bank. So despite getting the wrong panel, I was able to use it and I am happy to say I am very impressed with how it works. Again despite the crappy caulking job, the panel is a Solid Performer. This raises my Star rating to four stars total. So yes I recommend this 24V panel should you need one. Now I know why RV's like 24V systems. Fast and efficient charging ability.

On the bench today, I’ve got the XRDS -RF Solar Panel Adapter Cable to XT60i 25FT - 10AWG XT60i Female Solar Cable Tinned Copper Wire with PVC Jacket, XT60i Solar Extension Cable for Power Station and Portable Generator This will be a pretty short one as it seems most everything about the cable is made with decent materials and it’s a pretty good value. For those that are unsure, the wire is bonded/parallel instead of 2 completely separate wires. The only thing that I’m not sure about is that the wire doesn’t seem like anything I’d expect to have any extra UV resistance, like an actual solar wire, so I wouldn’t use this anywhere that had a permanent exposure to UV. They do specifically show roof, and other permanently, mounted solar panels in their little example usage pictures that would require a UV resistant wire. Because of that, I feel that I need to knock off 1 star.

I recently purchased two of the 415w panels and are using them for an off grid camper build. I’ve attached several photos of the panels performance. Each panel is run through Victron Smartsolar MPPT 100/15’s to a 24v system. Panels are well built and look great. I will be purchasing more of these.

This is a well designed and versatile generator cover. There are plentiful zippers, snaps, and Velcro straps to make this doable for most any generator. I can't overstate how well this thing is built. All four corners zip up and down making it possible to work well with any generator. The frame on top tents on it's own via the included metal frame thereby keeping water from pooling on top. The sides all roll up with included straps so that the cover can stay on while operating. The zippers are heavy duty. To show how versatile cover is, my generator is designed with the top rails on the side instead of at the ends. Because of this, it necessitated that I mount the metal frame sideways instead of lengthways as the instructions stated. I was able to do this with no problem and the cover still fit nicely on my generator (see picture), The frame itself was easy to assemble and tight enough so that I did not have to glue it, as the instructions recommended. All in all, a great product.
