ELECAENTA 120W ETFE Solar Charger PD45W Type-C USB QC3.0 DC-XT60/Anderson Foldable Monocrystalline Solar Panel Kit for Portable Generator Power Station Van Smartphone Laptop with 10-in-1 DC Connector

Due to the huge increases in electricity costs i decided to research solar power generation. I came across the ELECAENTA 120w foldable solar panel and decided to order the product to see how it performed. When the solar panel arrived i was immediately impressed by the overall build quality of the device. It looks and feels super premium - the fabric casing feels tough and durable and the protected solar panels equally appear extremely well made. The solar panel is 4 way foldable and collapses into a briefcase size shape. When unfolded the 4 solar panels are supported by two Velcro kickstands. I wasn't sure if these would be strong enough to hold the panel at the correct angle, but they worked just great. Set up of the solar panels takes literally seconds, unfold, place into position and plug in your USB device - voila instant free power! You even get 4 x carabiners to hang the panels from hooks. At the rear of the solar panel is a zip pocket containing a USB charger, 1 x USB A QC 3.0 and 1 x USB C. The USB C socket is a 45w PD charging output, which supports fast charging of certain devices. Also included is a bunch of DC barrel connections for various types of laptops & other DC input devices. Also included is a DC to MC4/XT60 cable, this enables you to connect the panel directly to a solar generator. The panel also has a bunch of safety feature built in such as overcharge protection and short circuit protection. The company really have thought of everything here. I was super impressed! So how did the product actually perform? Well it really did exceed my expectations - so much so i bought a second one! In full sun the solar panel was outputting around 86w into my Bluetti EB55. Connecting both of the ELECAENTA solar panels in a parallel connection (lead needs to be purchased separately) inputted around 120w of power into my generator. I appreciate that each of these panels are rated at 120w but you are never going to get the full 240w of power - there are lots of factors which may effect the solar generation of any solar panel, including the position/angle of the panel to the sun, haze in the sky, smoke, clouds etc. I have tested several different devices on the panel and all charged exceptionally well. My Samsung S22 Ultra displayed 'super fast charging', my ipad charged great, i even charged a set of NP-FP 90 batteries in a charging bank (see pictures), along with my electric toothbrush! The panels are also Monocrystalline which is a better technology than Polycrystalline, these panels also have a conversion rating of around 24% which is extremely good. The solar panels are also water resistant, although you should not allow the USB charging station at the rear to get wet. I would not be using these in damp/wet conditions anyway. In summary i think the ELECAENTA 120w solar panel is an amazing piece of kit! It's is super satisfying knowing you are getting free power from the sun! There are so many uses for this product, free home charging, off grid charging when you are camping or at the beach... the list is almost endless! I did have a small tech issue with my second panel but speaking with ELECAENTA customer support resulted in this being resolved super quickly and without issue - the after sales customer support from this company is superb! So do i recommend this product to others? Without hesitation it is a huge YES from me! Every household should have one of these solar panels - they are portable enough for you to take around with you and provide excellent fast charging capabilities - in my opinion this really is a premium product! I hope that you found my review helpful.

I must admit that I thought I was buying something that could fit in my pocket and charge a couple of portable phone booster batteries when I went camping, as it appeared alongside such devices when I was browsing while on a dog walk. When this briefcase sized slab arrived and kept unfolding and unfolding, bringing a glorious solar charging array to my back patio, I was bemused. It is however a really great bit of kit and already a part of my camping gear. For those hoping to use indoors, its probably going to be a bit big to fit on a windowsill, the panels do have a kick stand on the back but you'd need quite a long window sill to fully uncurl the array (I've photographed it unfolded with an AA battery on the floor in front of it for size comparison). I also popped it on a USB voltage/amp tester with a USB load tester module attached and got a steady 1 amp at 5 volt on an moderately overcast/cloudy day (See pictures). I'm sure it could put out more juice, but that's what I was hoping to draw from it so I'm delighted. The panels came with a selection of cables to connect up to a variety of different power banks, and some swappable power jacks of various sizes, although I admit I'm only interested in the USB trickle charging of some mobile devices while off grid. I did note that there is a zippy pouch on the back panel that allows the cables, adaptors and hanging hooks to be stored with the device and the zippy pouch also protects the USB ports on the master panel from the wind. When folded back into slab mode, it has a handy handle on the top, although I'm still storing mine in the cardboard box it came in for that extra protection. A serendipitous purchase on my behalf.

Great bit of kit. Managed 100w in the uk sun in April.

New to this game but nonetheless aware of the physics. Unfolded and positioned directly at the sun and opened the support so the rays were at right angles. Time 1100hrs GMT. Blue sky with some high whispy cloud. Result was between 90W and 110W as measured on my 600Wh Power Station. Took it from 20% to 100% in 5-6 hours of charging. Was then able to run my TV for two evenings of use. (Av 50W power use) Useful. Should be able to power the heating system (Gas) this winter. Maybe a few lights as well.

Came back to buy again! Loved these so much that I purchased another. Daisychained together charges all my devices and battery packs super fast and they have yet to disappoint. Initially purchased for a camping trip it kept our off-grid set-up nicely powered up and I wasn't left without charge in the phones or lights at all. Even on the cloudy days. I also used it to charge a battery so that we had power at night and it was a system that worked well. Now we are back at home I am using it regularly to keep devices charged and am delighted with how efficient it is. It charges quickly and brings things to 100% - I even had it charging two Chromebooks at the same time. Good range of adaptors, easy to carry suitcase design. Convinced me to install solar panels on my house - it is that good!

Checked this out on YouTube great reviews and tests so I bought one, first clear sunny day connect to my portable power station, great 102-114 watt’s so very pleased, two years later now only getting 40.42W same position as same time and same clear sky! So not a great product losing so much power over 2 years

Strong solid panel for power banks, laptops Not to strong for power stations in UK.

I've just started using the panel so can't comment on durability, but initial impressions are good. Hooked up to a Bluetti EB77 I was getting 100W charging on a cool but clear day in early May, which is decent performance for the UK! The unit seems good quality, supplied accessories and cable pack are very versatile, and the built-in USB is a great bonus. I use it to charge a couple of USB power bricks when I don't want to haul the Bluetti around. It's great for keeping phones, tablets and other small devices charged on camping trips. Very happy overall so far.

Muy bueno
