KickAss 12V Super Thin 300W Portable Solar Panel With PWM controller Reviews

4.5 Rating 95 Reviews
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.

Good thin panels but a bit awkward to carry being so tall.

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

On a beautiful sunny day in Far North Queensland the panels were yielding between 20 and 23 amps consistently connected to my Enerdrive 40 Amp DC-DC MPPT solar controller.

One of the support stands has broken off on day 2 of the first camping trip using the panels
