“Gotta be happy with these.... Just arrived in 2 days.... Putting out 256w and 21v on the Kickass meter and multimeter on opening them up....
Only thing is the size and finding a spot in the camper for them.”
“While the panels work great, I'm very disappointed in the structure. The legs fall off, they used small potrivets in large holes. Had 2 legs fall off the first time i used it. Also bit hard for one person to erect, especially if you like me a small 64 year old woman”

“I just read a review which was identical to my situation. Purchased a 200w blanket from a well known company for a double island trip. The blanket failed to produce sufficient power to recharge my battery even on bright sunny days. Spend 4 days worrying and checking camper batteries to ensure I didn't run them dry, to the point I had to run my vehicle to keep the charge up. I decided I never wanted to have a trip spoilt like that again and purchased a 300w kickass panel which I used last weekend. 3 overcast days and the panels still easily produced sufficient power to recharge my battery. What a contrast between the two weekends. I was care free without having to worry about power issues. Initially I thought I should have purchased the 200w as my brother has one and it is smaller and lighter than the 300 but after last weekend I am so glad with the 300. They have been nicknamed 'The Big Girl.' When fellow campers in the group had panels that couldn't deal with the overcast days all you could hear was 'can I borrow the big girl' haha. Can't recommend these panels enough.”
“Haven't had a chance to give it a good run yet but I hooked it up while caravan was in shed and was pumping at 13.5v.. Heavily than what I had in mind but I'll just have to man-up.”
“Just had my first week with this panel while free camping. Works extremely well, even in overcast conditions. I originally got stung buying a "cheap and nasty", so called 350w soft fold up panel set on EBay, it was next to useless. If you rely on solar generation do yourself a favor and invest in the Kickass 300w setup. Even better if paired with one of their 8g, 10mtr Anderson extension cable.”
“We have a camper trailer and regularly go away for a few days at a time. Solar is our only power source and this panel is the best. 75lt fridge/freezer running constantly along with all of our other power needs, and this panel charges our battery bank effortlessly even if its a bit overcast.”
