After buying this product and talking to a friend l could have purchased a higher wattage unit for a very small increase in price. If l had purchased the product at its price prior to the discounted offer l would have lost out big time. The adjustable legs are of poor design and the quality of the slot to allow the angle to be adjusted is very rough. When the locking bolt is loosened to allow angle adjustment it doesn't slide easily in the slot as it catches on the rough finish on the slot. Even lubricating the slot didn't make any real improvement .

Did not work, because the link from regulator to solar panel was wired incorrectly. The small fly lead from the regulator was the same as the fly lead from the solar junction box, hence when connected together it resulted in a reversal of polarity !! One of the connections to one of the panels also fell of when I touched it with a screwdriver. Also very difficult to read the screen on the regulator when the panel is angled correctly for the sun. It would be better if the regulator was on a swing out bracket for setting up and checking, then able to be swung back in behind the panel for normal operation.

The panel is ok, but put together quite cheaply. The aluminium stand is unfortunately flimsy, poorly made and a bit tough to open and close because of it. The charge controller is PWM in case anyone is interested. It is unfortunately brutally glued to the back of the panel with so much glue that most of the cooling fins are clogged and cannot do their job. It gets very hot as a result, I think that is a failure waiting to happen. But overall the panel it does the job. It has a maximum power voltage of 18.9V going into the controller which is good. Be aware of other panels on offer, their max power voltage is sometimes way lower (under 15V), it would be hard to charge a 12V battery with those types of panels. But as I said, this one got that bit right.

delivery time was excellent..arrived well packed and protected.. the unit seems well built and is of a practical and sensible design, like most outdoor camping equipment only the test of time will prove it, but I'm quite pleased so far. perhaps may be improved by the provision of some sort of clamping device to stabilise it in wind on a boat etc. something to think about..

You get what you pay for: on arrival one of the plastic corner was missing, another was cracked. After only a few days outside the regulator face is heavily deformed by the heat (isn't this thing designed to be in the sun??). Finally after a couple of light showers the hinges are starting to rust... The legs holding the "stable frame" can the bent with one finger. I think I will be lucky if this thing lasts one summer.
