“300w is great but the size that the panels fold down to is an issue for storage and transport. By comparison a 200w I have folds down to a briefcase and is much easier to store and therefore use. I haven't taken it camping yet because I have yet to work out where to store it safely during transport.”
“On first use two of the support legs fell off in my hand. I am very careful with my gear but it didn't matter. They are pop riveted on and just pulled out. I am currently on a trip and will have to find a hardware shop to rectify this issue.
I have 2 pieces of firewood supporting the subject panels. Otherwise the panels are great.”
“Panels are great. Wiring is pretty good. Instructions are good. Canvas bag is pretty good and has a pocket large enough to carry extensions etc. Be nice if the canvas was higher quality / thicker though. Can't see it lasting too long. The fold out legs / stands are terrible. Very flimsy weak plastic assemblies held in with rivets that don't hold all that well and put a lot of stress on the alloy frame, which itself isn't very strong. My panels arrived with a bent piece on the alloy frame and one set of legs bouncing around in the box. I drilled out the old rivets and rivetted them legs back on prior to the trip but they ended up falling off again because the alloy had already weakened. I would have sent them back but was too close to a camping trip so probably too late now as unit is used. I plan to upgrade the fold out legs if I can but shouldn't have to really. I understand the unit is built for light weight but first and foremost camp gear needs to be rugged.”
“The panels charge quickly but it had two broken corners (which four spares included) and one of the stands fell off when we opened it up. Otherwise a great product.”
“Bought the 300w panels as panels I had were not big enough to charge battery (8amp max) with 2 fridges running. Now being able to input between 12 & 16 amps, battery charges in no time so more worries about my beer staying cold. Bloody great product”
