ALLPOWERS 200W Foldable Solar Panel Monocrystalline Solar Cell Solar Charger Portable Solar Panel + Mounting Bracket for Power Station Solar Generator Camping RV Van Outdoor Off-Grid

I already have an Allpowers Monster Battery pack so thought I would start to take advantage of the increased sunshine.The solar panel is folded - undoing a few clips and you can unfold easily but may be better with two people doing it. The velcro attached legs need a bit of prising off and positioning but that is not an issue.Found that on slightly cloudy days with high 'white' clouds this actually gives better charging and I have seen the panel kick out a full 200W when the sun is out - maybe the clouds actually bounce off more light?Clear blue sky days with full sun and the unit can output 140W which also depends on how you position the panel. I have been ensuring that it is directly facing the sun and often have to just lie it flat on the patio or support it with bricks to get the best angle.I am finding that from 'cold' the panel performs much better than when it has heated up due to the sun shining on it.I have been able to charge the Monster2 from around 45% up to 80% during the day.So far so good - we shall see as time goes on

First 200w had to be replaced due to stitching coming apart, second panel only produced 128w input and quickly the more I used the panel, stopped working altogether after 5 months, used only with the allpowers ap-ss-009 monster x power station. Bought a 200w renogy flexi panel which produces 180w's + input, should have done my homework, lol

Doesn’t generate 200w as advertised and feels very cheap
