Use: I'm a middle-aged female mainly using this for occasional van camping here in Maryland to recharge my s200 portable battery pack. I needed something lightweight, small, and portable. Check. Check. Check.
Portable carrier case: Better than expected but on par with a soft-sided Arctic Zone Walmart lunchbox. I'll take care when opening zippers as they seem poor quality. Four sets of interior pockets and an extra padded section hold all the adapters, manual, and two stands to angle panels. Even came with 2 carribeaners so I can hang it on a zipline. My set was missing nothing. Yay! Total weight felt like maybe six pounds and the width of my large tablet.
Panel: Easy to unfold, easy plug and play once I finally figured out which adapter I needed. Rubber strip covers "outlets" thus making it "waterproof" if accidentally left out in a very light drizzle unplugged. There are ten mini panels in all making one large rectangle. They aren't smooth like glass as you find in typical rooftop panels. They have a sort of rigid and rough plastic over them. This is NOT to be peeled off as one reviewer stated. Hopefully it'll add to its longevity as it seems harder to shatter. When folded shut it secures with a strip of velcro... which I'll also make sure to be gentle with as it's attached by only two tiny rivets.
Test Charge: I give it an A+ for doing what it did in low sun/shade from tree branches/ late afternoon conditions. My s200 power pack was at 24% and shot up to 34% within just one hour. Then, due to the setting sun and above outlined conditions, it didn't charge past 34%. I think in optimal conditions I'll have no problem charging the battery within 6 hours.
Overall value vs quality: Given the price points on other 100w panels that aren't nearly as small & portable for my needs and don't come with a fraction of all the adapters and accessories I am THRILLED I got this one for $149 and it checked all my boxes. If you do your research you'll come to find that the Jackery panels and other name brand suitcase panels are overpriced. As mentioned, there are some cheapo aspects to it. The stands are pretty useless too as they're too short and lightweight to hold the panel securely. Best to prop panel on your cooler or whatever. This TP panel is great IF you're not hard on your gear and it isn't for daily use in extreme temps. If you follow the guidelines in the manual for proper care, cleaning, and storage this panel should last many years.
I'm super happy with the purchase and overall rate it 5 stars. Can't wait to use it in full sun!

I'm super happy with the purchase and overall rate it 5 stars. Can't wait to use it in full sun!
All of my testing was using a USB-C volt/amp meter. Test was in direct sunlight around noon, in November, near the Cincinnati area (latitude 39N).
I tested with two different USB-C devices: one a battery bank and the other a dell laptop. Both charged at similar rates to using an AC adapter to charge. The battery bank can only charge at 30W max (20V at 1.5A). The laptop charges at about 45W on the AC adapter (20V at 2-2.25A).
On the solar panel, the voltage was a little low, more like 18V, which brought down the power slightly. The battery bank averaged around 26-27W, and the laptop was around 40W. But it was able to power them both.
The USB charging seems to work fine also. I can't speak to the other outputs, I don't have any devices that use them.
Build quality seems pretty good. The fabric seems quite sturdy. There are some minor scratches/blemishes on the solar cells, but it doesn't seem to affect performance. The plastic around the handles and the output ports feels a little cheap, but at this price point can't complain much about that. There are magnets in the plastic to hold the panel shut, and they seem to work well.
If you want to permanently mount a solar panel somewhere, don't buy this - you can get something that will likely hold up to the weather a bit better long term at half the price.
If you need portability - but you don't really care how big the solar panel is when you fold it up - again don't buy this, get one of those solar suitcases that fold up like a card table and have a sturdy stand made out of metal.
This product fills a very specific niche. It is for people who really care a lot about how small the panel will get when you put it away - they want something that will perform like a full-size panel when needed but stores in a very small space most of the time. If you are in that group, keep reading because this thing has an awful lot going for it. Normally, even a "compact" folding solar panel with a 100w rating is going to resemble a thin version of a pizza box or an vinyl record box set. This gets much smaller and only a bit thicker, ending up in a far more travel-friendly size and shape.
It is not particularly light, however. In order to make a folding panel like this durable enough to hold up, they make each little section out of a very tough, solid plastic, with pretty sturdy connections between each of the little tiles that makes up the overall panel as well. All that structure makes it a bit heavier than you expect it to be. It probably doesn't weigh as much as a glass covered residential panel, but you certainly are not going backpacking with it either. Time will tell, but it really does feel pretty sturdy, and the panel appears likely to survive a lot of travel without excessive babying.
On the little flap of fabric that holds the tiles together with velcro, there is a place to connect your power bank/solar generator, which also contains a couple of USB ports for just charging your phone directly. There is a rubber cover on the ports, and closing that cover would likely render the panel safe in the rain IF NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING. But once connected to anything, the ports are not at all protected from moisture. This is not a panel you are going to permanently mount anywhere and you don't get much solar power on a rainy day anyway, so I don't view that as a particularly serious deal for a product like this. I think the rubber gasket is really more to protect it while in storage/transit. If this ended up in say the back of your pickup truck, the rubber gasket would help to protect it from the rain.
Laying it flat on the ground in full sun without fussing with it at all generated 65-70 watts according to my solar generator, so its performance is right about what you would expect to see from a 100 watt max panel. No solar panel makes anywhere near what it is capable of in ideal test conditions in the real world, and this one does just about what you would expect it to do.
The only thing about this design that I didn't fully grasp before I bought it is that angling the panel towards the sun really helps to improve the power it makes, but you have to supply all the structure if you want to get it up off the ground, there is no stand or any way to get it at an ideal angle to the sun with what comes in the box. You give that up in favor of getting a much more travel-friendly package than those solar suitcases. So if you want to eke out every last volt you possibly can, you'll have to fuss with this a bit and jury rig some kind of stand when you get to where you are going.
The build quality of the panel itself is much higher than the accessories it comes with. The storage bag quality is good not great (it should be fine if you don't abuse it), the main cord you use to feed power into your power bank is also of adequate quality. But the alligator clips for a 12v, direct battery connection appear terrifyingly thin. Same for the MC4 connectors, I would not be very excited about using those either. Few people are likely to need or use either of those accessories given the intended use of this panel. But if your particular, expected use of this panel requires those accessories, just plan to buy better, upgraded versions.
Overall, I think this does fit the bill for somebody looking for a very compact, travel friendly panel to charge a small "solar generator". It is not perfect, but I really like how small it gets and how easy it is travel with.
