100W Portable Solar Panel with 5-in-1 Cable,23.5% Efficiency Mono Foldable Solar Charger for Jackery 300/Ecoflow River/Anker Solix,IP67 Waterproof Offgrid Power for Camping RV Battery Backup

I wanted a solar panel that I could connect to my new Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC power bank, to use mainly for emergencies when the power was out for any significant amount of time. I found this Zoupw foldable 100W solar panel, saw that it was highly rated and highly ranked and decided to pick it up and now I am very glad I did. I decided to get a solar panel with more power than the Sherpa 100AC needed (60W) and it looks like that was a home run on my part. Because if the solar panel is not generating full power because I don't have it pointing perfectly at the sun, or there's some light clouds or slight haze in the atmosphere, it is most likely going to still output enough power to keep the power bank charging at its max capacity of 60 watts, or close to it. It plugs right into the 8mm solar-in port on the back of the Sherpa 100AC and it's good to go. I was able to easily get the max 60W in from the panel that the Sherpa can handle and it's not even summer yet so they're both working together exactly as I had hoped. The panel is well constructed, with magnetic handles to keep the unit folded when not in use. The included 10 foot cable is plenty long enough and they certainly give you enough connectors and tips to connect to just about any power bank or device you are trying to charge. It has two USB-A ports and one USB-C port that can output up to a decent 60w so if the panel was outputting full power (which is most likely around 90w, not 100) I could charge my iPhone at full speed while simultaneously charging the Sherpa at its full speed. Just another reason why I went with a solar panel with a little more power than I needed just for the Sherpa alone. This solar panel is less than half the price of Goal Zero's comparable 100W solar panel and now that I see how well constructed it is and it works as expected, picking up this solar panel was a no-brainer.

I got the 100W and it works great with my Jackery Explorer 300. Got off work and saw the box on my porch. Hooked it up on a cloudy day and charged my Jackery from 84% to 100% in about 20 minutes. Really surprised by all the attachments on the wiring and additional adapters (don’t need for my setup), all of which zips up nicely to the panel. You could hook up your phone, speaker, or whatever to just the solar panel with it’s USC-C port and 2 USB ports. Solid magnets keep it closed, with easy carry handles, and really strong Velcro to keep the legs attached to the solar panel. 10/10 quality and performance

I own quite a few panels from various brands and this panel has performed impressively well in my testing and has a level of general thoughtfulness in its design and included accessories that goes above and beyond. Production: Compared to my other 100w panels the zoupw has performed near the top, losing slightly to the heavy rigid panel and heavy rigid folder, but beating my flex panel and my quarterfold panel. Extremely solid performer and losing by a few percent to panels weighing more than twice as much is hard to call a real loss. This had no issues charging all the power stations I tested it with at an healthy rate. Portability: the magnetic clasp, comfortable handle, and spacious pouch make transporting this panel a breeze. the heavy nylon fabric that lines the back provides a good deal of protection when folded and I don't see this panel taking any damage from transport barring blatant abuse or accidental crushing damage. Accessories and Manual: 10ft (3m) adapter cable and 3ft (1m) cable on the panel itself makes the total included cable length more than double that of some of my other portables. It's hard to describe how much I appreciate the cables being an actual usable length for once. What's more is that since the adapter and panel cables are MC4, extending the length is easy and cheap. The manual is well written and covers the major adapters and common FAQ well. Compared to other manuals it seems better written overall. Complaints: I have two minor complaints that some people may want to consider. First is the legs, they do not offer much in terms of adjustability, I would like for the angle to be a little more upwards. Second is the USB-C PD output. Despite pulling more than 70w in hazy weather on DC, when using the USB-C port I had issues getting more than 45w, suggesting that it might be locking into 15v3a rather than renegotiation for 20v3a. It's certainly still usable, but I was disappointed in my inability to get 60w usb-c charging to work. Overall thoughts: Very good panel, zoupw also makes a semi rigid briefcase model that trades the usb-c ports for a sturdier frame. I feel confident that both options will work well depending on your needs.

So I will start by saying that this thing does not pull the full 220 watts that it says. I have had it out with zero clouds and perfect sun viability and the most it will seem to get is 180 watts. Which is pretty decent for my needs. We took it fishing with us and it was able to charge all of our phones and sustain my Jackery battery while it ran my Starlink Mini. It is large though and kind of annoying to put together by yourself with the velcro legs. Other than that, it is pretty straightforward on how it works. It comes with a ton of adapters too. You can even plug your phone directly into this for a charge with USB-C. Even with overcast, my phone was able to get a Super fast charge out of it. It is well made though for what it is.

Wasn’t sure about getting these since I’ve been buying from Goal Zero for years now, but now I’m not so sure spending the extra money with Goal Zero is worth it. I thought, wow, these 110 panels are not getting me much wattage, 69-70%, but before I could make a decision, I needed to put them up against the Goal Zero 100 watt panels. Well, guess what? The ZoupW outperformed the Boulder 100 panels! Not by much, 64-65%, but wow, the ZoupW are so much lighter and you get a really nice long cable included. I think the winner is clear, ZoupW! I was looking for something waterproof, light and efficient for the boat and I have found a winner! The size is perfect and they really are portable. Unlike the Goal Zero Boulders, they are way too heavy and now they are not out performing a cheaper brand. Let this be a warning for those other competitors that are charging more and giving less. Competition is out there and consumers are smart and they will find the better value for the money! I’m so glad I took a chance on this product. Really happy with my purchase1

Easy to set up, nice protective shell, heavy duty handles, magnetic closure, pockets for cables and stand, works great. I can get about 100w on a clear day in the fall in Tennessee. Having the case/handles built in does add a bit to the weight but it's still easy to move around

Great panel, charges in low light, even had coffee spilled on it. Works great

I’ve used a few different brands of portable solar panels in the last few years. So I think I have a pretty good idea on how much power to expect from them in my area. 100w never means you will get 100w. Even on very sunny days. Unless you live someplace like Arizona. They have great sun, but other places don’t. Granted, I just got this yesterday and this is the first day I’ve tried it, but so far it’s better than my last three solar panels. I don’t live in a great area for solar power. Typically, I expect 25w from 100w panel, and that has stayed fairly consistent at this time of year through three solar panels I’ve purchased since I’ve been here. This panel gave me more than double than usual, hitting 60w. That’s amazing considering how cloudy it was today too. They are thinner than I was expecting, but very light. They are big, making them a little awkward for me to move since I’m in a wheelchair, but it’s worth the hassle for more power. This is the first panel I’ve bought with its own stand. I already love that feature. Makes it easier to catch the most sun. I can’t speak to how long it will last, but it works very well right now. Will try to remember to update in a year to see if they last. So far, they are awesome. Edit: it’s been 5 months and I happened to think about this review so I’m updating to say that I’m still happy with this purchase. It works on all three of my power stations. In full sun I get more than any other panel I’ve used. Between 50w- 60w. In the shade I still get twice the power as my next best panel. 10w when the sun is fully in clouds and can’t be seen at all. So I can’t complain. It is a nice panel. Although the price has raised considerably since I purchased it. So I’m especially happy I got it before the price hike lol.
