The Nicesolar 100W Foldable Solar Panel is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts and emergency preparedness. This compact, lightweight, and highly efficient solar panel is designed to keep your devices powered up, no matter where you are.ProsHighly Compatible: The Nicesolar solar panel comes with a variety of DC connectors, making it compatible with most portable power stations and solar generators. Whether you're using Jackery, Ecoflow, Anker, Goal Zero, Bluetti, Flashfish, or Rockpals, this solar panel has got you covered.Fast Charging: With dual USB ports (Type-A QC3.0 and Type-C PD 18W), the Nicesolar solar panel supports fast charging of your electronic devices. This means less time waiting for your devices to charge and more time enjoying your outdoor adventures. (See attached image - I was getting 1062 mA/h at 3.6V charging my iPhone directly from the panel)Waterproof and Durable: The solar panel is fully laminated by ETFE polymer material, making it completely waterproof (IP67 technology). It's one solid piece without any seams or gaps, ensuring it can withstand the elements and last for years to come.Portable and Lightweight: Weighing only 7.3 lb (11.5 lb with accessories), this solar panel is easy to carry. It can be folded into a compact size, making it perfect for camping, RVing, or emergency use.High Conversion Efficiency: Thanks to its innovative IBC monocrystalline solar cell technology, the Nicesolar solar panel boasts a conversion rate of up to 24.3%. This means more efficient charging and less time waiting for your devices to power up.ConsWeather Dependent: Like all solar panels, the Nicesolar 100W Foldable Solar Panel's performance is dependent on the weather. However, its high conversion efficiency ensures you get the most out of the available sunlight, even on cloudy days.The Nicesolar 100W Foldable Solar Panel is a versatile, efficient, and durable solution for your portable power needs. Its minor weather-dependent con is easily overshadowed by its numerous pros, making it a worthy investment for anyone seeking reliable off-grid power. Harness the power of the sun with Nicesolar, and never worry about running out of power again.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great panel, and I like the fact that this is one complete piece without seams and gaps in between. I have had other solar panels that had a cloth backing but unfortunately, they don't support the panels that well under the heat, and they would eventually warp and deform. Because there are no seams or gaps, it also makes cleaning the panels especially easy since it's just a quick wipe off and you are done.As with most other high-powered panels, this outputs a non-regulated 24v voltage with drops to about 20v with a load. Power rapidly declines if the voltage drops below 18v as with most other panels, so you may want to get an MPPT solar charge controller if you wish for a more stabilized output.You can see that the USB-A port supports most quick charge protocols, including OnePlus DASH/VOOC and QC2/3 up to 12v of voltage. The USB-C port supports similar protocols but with the addition of PD3.0 up to 12v (including PPS). Because 15v/20v support is not available, the port will not be able to charge most regular-sized laptops, but shall happily charge most phones and tablets. If your intent is to have this charge your laptop, I would recommend that you buy a DC-DC converter that allows the automatic conversion to the desired voltage. I would not recommend that you plug a laptop in with DC adapters (even if it fits) because the output voltage is on the high side (24v as opposed to 19-20v) and doing so may damage your laptop's charging circuitry.As I mentioned in my video, if you do not read the instructions, you may have some difficulty setting up the kickstands. The four kickstands have knobs on top that has a metal retaining clip. The knob itself does not turn, but instead, you pull back on it to release the clip. The clips go into the metal holes on the top or bottom edge of the panels. If you clip it anywhere else, the clip will slip and the panel will just fall over. That being said, nothing prevents you from just setting this down on a chair (like I did) -- and the panel would remain foldable if you only install two stands on the outer left/right edges.

(Testing with USBC output only so far, using Anker 737 24k metering)I tried this alongside a Blavor 100w, putting the panel on top on the Blavor for fair angle test. First, in lower, partial cloudy, the Blavor was getting 30-60, and this one was getting 9-16 in the exact same light, sometimes lower watts. In full sun, both gave the 60w output the USB maxes out on (Blavor said it's 45, but gave 60w)On the stand I also got this max (will update when I try DC output).Biggest problem is, in the slightest shade, there's big issues. The panel drops down to 12w or even less in any shade, and I believe it's something about how the panels are wired. (EDIT this is not the case, it was the Anker's input causng the issue as I was trying to charge a USB and it was routing the power there.Other than that, love the portability. Stands flimsy and hard to adjust, but do okay for what they are. Would be best to augment with extra support, a rigid bar, etc. Actual electric part seems pretty non-waterproof, a concern for long-term use.
