BLUETTI 200W Solar Panel for Solar Generator EB3A AC2A AC50B AC70 AC180 AC200L Elite 200 V2 AC300 AC500 B300K, Foldable Solar Charger with Adjustable Kickstands for RV, Camping, Blackout

Used this in two road trips last summer this summer. Folded up and took with us when parked to charge the bluetti 800 power station. In the car, being handled every day for about 2mos. Used and set up a number of times when more charge was needed. This needs to be set up each time you use it. It doesn't mount to a vehicle, but folds up and buckles shut. Cables built right into the panel and zip away into pouch right on it. Work in part sun, if blocked in a little shade. But does give less power if not alligned in full sun. Jasonoid on YouTube gives great reviews in detail about tech specs on this and several other solar energy devices. Easy enough for one person to set up. Can be a little wobbly The cables are about 10 feet long. Plugs right into solar receptacle if your power station has one. It will charge your power station depending on the input your station can take and the available sun, and, how much power the batteries in your station can hold. I have a number of bluetti products, and they are all well thought out, ergonomically, durable, well made, and easy easy to use. Can get a teeny bit wet but it's not meant to get rained in or soaked or submerged. Dewy grass is probably fine, but there is a fabric case to this product. It's a great portable panel, if you need it only to boost your power system. My minivan has a 12 volt lighter type jack and charges my system while I drive. When I am parked without driving this charges my system to run my small 12v fridge in my dodge caravan on the days we camp and stay at a site. I am very happy with this panel.

It works as advertised and because I got it on sale its value for the money was good (for me) but its regular price seems high. It's heavier than it looks, the blue handle's long term durability is unknown. Now, to the good things... The highest wattage I was able to capture while using it was 179W; normally I am getting 164-166 in full sun with the panel properly positioned against the sun. It has internal parallel wiring meaning that its performance in partial shade will be better than many competitors' panels wired in series. I saw some mentioning that it had panels made by SunPower, a premium manufacturer of solar panels with high efficiency, but there is no indication of that on the packaging. Note that although this panel is of folding type it's still too bulky for many applications and carrying around. If that bothers you there are so called solar blankets sold by other manufacturers that are more compact but costing much more.

I purchased two of these panels to use to charge my ac200p (I have a third on the way, purchased as part of a package along with Bluetti's eb70s). On a sunny south Florida December day with the panels pointed right at the sun, I was drawing 310 watts, so 155 per panel, which I find to be excellent. Based on what I observed, these are up to spec and perform well. They are very convenient to carry around, easy to deploy, and I really like how you can adjust the angle of the kick stands - a very nice touch. These panels are billed as being rugged and perfect for outdoor activities. This is where I start to see some problems. The mc4 wires could afford to be more heavy duty. I have concerns that they may be a weak point in the unit and eventually wear out. I can say the same for the straps that secure the solar panel when folded. These are perhaps minor issues though, as anyone with folding solar panels isn't going to be deploying them so frequently that this becomes an issue. Personally, I am only deploying them during power outages. The biggest problem is that they are not weatherproof and are marketed in such a way that it might lead some to believe that they are. The manual indicates to not let them get wet and to not leave them in the rain. This is inconvenient. For a $500 panel, it would be useful if they went a step further and made these water proof. As far as I'm aware, the only folding panels that are water proof are the ecoflow panels, and these come with their own issues (mainly the mechanism for propping the panel leaves them prone to blowing over; an issue that I don't see happening with these pv200 panels). In short, these are quality panels and they perform well. I am happy that I own 2 and have a third on the way. They will serve me well.

Tested these panels once received with both an older Bluetti EB55 and brand new AC70. Got right at 150 watts into the EB55 at around 10:30am under partly cloudy/sunny skies with high wispy clouds but still 85F. Tested them that same day around 11:45am with the same sky conditions just a little warmer and was putting at a low of 153watts and a high of 178watts then steady at 168watts. Very pleased with the build quality, the cordage, adjustable stands, grommets to hang if needed and the overall form factor of these make for a very nice portable solar package. Not the lightest by any means but very well made.

I got this plus the EB55 so I could have power in case of the electrical grid going down. Someday, I’d like to get a whole house system, but today is not that day. It was $1k (including taxes) for both this panel *and* the EB55 battery, which I thought was pretty good. Thoughts: Yeesh, this panel is HEAVY! When I first picked it up, I was shocked. The battery is just as heavy. I thought, “Definitely not very portable!” I still wouldn’t want to go on a 10-mile hike with these, lol, but honestly, I’ve grown to appreciate the weight. I live in a very windy area, and although I’m careful not to put it outside when we’re under a wind advisory, I will say that it’s been outside during some pretty impressive windy days, and it’s never pitched this system over. The weight keeps it from tumbling into the next county over, and I appreciate that. It charges Mr Blue (what I named my EB55 battery) quickly, and also does through charge where it’ll charge and discharge at the same time. For those people who are upset that the system isn’t waterproof, I don’t know what to say. This is a portable system. I never had the slightest expectation that it’d be waterproof. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you want that, go install a $15k solar system. In the meanwhile, I use this daily, just bc I find it fun to go set it up outside and then see how many items I can charge off it in a day. I’m enjoying having this system to play with, bc #🤓 Have fun with it!

I have two of these Bluetti 200w solar panels. They work great at keeping my Solar Generators charged while out camping. They appear to be durable, and water resistant. They are kind of heavy, and hard to manage when open. The design of the stands to hold the unit upright are flimsy, but they do work. Just hard to adjust when needed. Especially when the panel has been in the sun for a while, and it's super hot. Bluetti does produce some very nice, well constructed products. Definitely worth adding to your power needs.

EDIT: After 2-1/2 months of ownership and literally treating these (2) panels with kid gloves, one of them requires repair. At the point where the cable splits into 2 (black to red & black, leading to the connectors to attach to the Anderson cable) both red and black cables are coming loose and the wires inside are exposed and fraying. Sometimes when they touch they actually spark. I am now very concerned about the potential for a for or electric shock or damage to my generator. This product is not made well and I'd caution anyone about spending so much money on it. There surely are better constructed panels available. Safety is not a risk you should take. This panel no longer charges effectively and has little purpose. Totally unsatisfactory for a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR panel after 2-1/2 months of light use. The handles on these panels are extremely cheap crap and will NOT last any length of time. The plastic used is not rated to handle the load of the weight ... or even the force of the the panel simply exerting force against the 2 sides of the handle WHILE AT REST. The hardware (screws) inside the handle that is supposed to hold the sides together to sandwich and attache to the panel, are also too short, thin and weak to handle the force. Basically, understand that you should just consider the handles to not even exist because they WILL break within a few uses. There's no excuse for this. This is simply a cost-cutting move that makes NO SENSE!!! Consider this, Bluetti: someone is carrying the panel by the handle, it breaks, the panel falls and breaks (maybe even falling off a cliff or something), that person is stuck in the middle of nowhere with a busted panel (or no panel) unable to charge their SolGen ... all because you wanted to save a few pennies on plastic and screws. Either use the proper materials that are rated to handle the force, or just don't put any handles on them at all.

Made to go and it seems sturdy and will last for years to come! Just enough juice to power my cooler and charge my devices Perfect

I tested it got 154 watts max sent back for $599 should get190 watts don't recommend buying bought other panels 200 watts less then half the price also the pv120 is great got 111 watt very happy with pv120 and pv420 bought on AliExpress but delivered in 3 days werehouse in caladon this is great quality panel just didn't give me what it should at least 180 watts and the highest I got was 154watts ov420 is a great panel gwt 387 watts very happy with bluetti panels are one of the best an pv120 111 Watts amazing I highly recommend buying this product one of these best panels out there

This not a light item. Do not expect a child to be able to move it. On the other hand the handle and clips make it very easy to use and move.

I originally tried to return this item to MAXOAK UK but they supplied a totally incorrect returns address to me via Amazon. The return cost me a significant amount and when it was sent back to me by the parcel carrier I duly tried to contact MAXOAK UK to arrange a refund and arrange collection because the mistake was of their making. They ignored my emails and my phone calls went straight to voicemail. I subsequently gave up and kept the item, which I suspect is what they hoped I would do.

Pour recharge unité EB3A. Bonne puissance , facilité branchement, fil trop cour nécessite achat de rallonge pour le branchement. poids est raisonnable pour le transport manuel des panneaux. facile à installeret à brancher,. Durabilité des panneaux est inconnu du au matériaux de fabrication utilisé lors du pliage et dépliage des panneaux. Matériaux extérieur utilisé non lisse saleté peu s'inscrusté dans ce genre de tissus utilisé nécessite attention et nettoyage avant de refermer les panneaux. Mais fonctionne très biens, très satisfait . bon rapport qualité / prix. DONC BON ACHAT
