Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's not the smallest or the lightest setup ever, but it is solid, easily deployable kit for portable work. Durable construction framework. This setup is much lighter than my old setup.

The zip-up case is what appears to be very heavy cordura nylon constructed over a thin protective clamshell. By padded, the padding isn't thick, but enough to prevent scrapings.

Even on a cloudy day it will still make juice. Enough amps to run our motorhome furnace in the cold and clear morning. Panel output is optimistically rated with the ‘stc’ rating.

The instruction about connecting the battery first comes from the controller manual which is also sold stand-alone. Volts) runs the opener and my power tools.

Cons

The instruction manual is not good. The parts used are bottom of the barrel. I'm not happy with this product due to either getting a previous return that somebody messed with.

It collects mud, muck and debris from whatever you set it on. This is because the legs are positional and the constant set up and take down loosens the bolt. Which makes them blow over in even lesser breezes!

Voyager charger bypasses the controller and hardwires the panels to the battery. Not compatible with all lifepos with bms.

The panels are ‘ok’ but that’s where my praise ends. The charge controller is a pwn so if you park your rig in the shade and have a 20’ or 30’ extension cord to your solar panels in the sun you are losing efficiency on both counts.

Highlights

Quality

The included charge controller works well, and the built-in stand is quick and easy to adjust for the proper angle for my latitude.

This is a really well built kit, hasn't caused me any problems and we use it on occasion and it never fails and is a pretty good quality.

I've had the panel for only a couple weeks and the handle, hinges, and latches, are already rusting.

The case has an extreamly cheap zipper.

Price

Well worth the price to keep the rv upand going while boondocking.

This is definitely the best bang for the buck.

I can't beleive they used to charge over $500 for these.

Shipping

I didn't like that i had to put the product back together after delivery.

Packaging/appearance

It folds up neatly and packs into an included case that i can carry with one hand.

Nice package and what you need is there.

Competitiveness

Replaced my controller with another brand and now it works well.
