Travels well, works well.
I have had this for a few months now.It is about the same dimensions as my laptop, and it fits neatly into my backpack. It says it is waterproof, but I'm not sure how that works given the ports are just sticking out the side, so I probably won't deliberately leave it plugged in sitting out in the rain (not that there's any sun to use anyway).On a gloomy winter's day I was able to squeeze a few watts out of it, maybe enough to resurrect a dead phone, but now in the spring I get around 45 watts on a sunny day with it laying flat, and I'm up in Buffalo so I'm obviously not going to get ideal amounts. And that's through the USB-C, not the direct DC which may give a bit more.That's enough power to charge my gizmos while out camping, and keeps my portable power banks topped off.It feels well made, is light enough that I can carry it in my backpack every day, and seems pretty durable. I'm happy with it, and I think the price is perfectly reasonable for what you're getting.

Works great!
I got about 45w solar in direct sunlight. It works much better at a 45 degree angle vs flat. I will say that it did take about a day to charge my 300w predator power station. I also did not go out and follow the sun with the panels. It’s pretty easy to use and brings a cableWith various plugs. It appears good quality and I can say it will likely last. I do think you could break it if you stepped on the panel but it’s not too heavy and great for remote areas. I used it in the jungles of Guatemala to charge my battery for my cpap. Also has a usb to charge your phone. Good value for the price when on sale

Seems to work great
Thought I would give this a try today. It fully charged a cell phone from 0% to 100% in less than an hour. Then I hooked it up to a power pack that was running a Starlink Mini. It fully charged the power pack and kept it charged while running the Starlink.I'm impressed. This will be part of my regular off road kit.

50% on my phone in an hour
I just used it, I was able to get a Google Pixel 6 to 50% in an hour. The 30 watt flex solar panel was to weak but this one worked out great.

DC Solar + USB-C better power station pairing
The purpose of my investment in a (Jackery 300) power station capable of dual charging options (stations built in solar controller PLUS USB-C) ... But regular solar panels are just half the potential.This FlexSolar 100 watt at least offered:>More portability then my heavy suitcase 100w (albiet that has PWM controller, a bit redundant this need)>This is far more portability then my 100w full size non fold flexable panel...But MOSTLY...> 60 watt 12 volt capable USB-C chargingWhich pairs far more nicely then the Jackery 5v incapable alternative at far more the cost.Life span wise and quality out of the equation, it is worth a try for something that can do what the alternative won't.It just seems counter intuitive to charge power stations from wall plugs & sunny days the goal is to charge an ebike on power stations on solar (**assuming we ignore the obvious cost of solar & equipment just to avoid a cheap outlet direct)An interesting philosophical question and only 2 days in, if the panel can handle the load, these are the numbers: solar 84w of 100w vs USB-C 53 of 60 vs both simultaneously = 96w @ only 10am slight high haze, zone 4 in the US.**If you want the depressing math on this, you will have to recharge an ebike about 2,500 times to save versus power grid electricity. More the the Lithium bike will last and likely more then the power station itself. Assuming the panel with electronics handle the load it probably is the cheapest most cost effective bit of the experiment. Somewhere far from civilization it's light to pack and pairs pretty nicely.

Broken? Slow charging. Beat out by tiny panel.
Something is wrong. It’s a super slow charger. My $10 6W elcheapo solar panel with no name was able to put out more wattage than this.I set up both side by side and the tiny guy was pumping out just about 5V/1.1A to a near empty battery pack. This solar panel with it wide open in the same sun and angle was doing 4.75V at 700mA. I tried a different cable and my other usb current measuring tool and got the same results. Tests were done in full mid-day FL sun with no clouds.Build quality is ok, not great, and being so long it really should have kickstands.Returning.

Cool design - great concept - issues with output
I really was excited to test out this panel array as it's exceptionally portable design was instantly attractive to me. I am not sure if I just got a bum unit or if it's a common issue but I ran a bunch of tests with my multimeter and I calculated the wattage output from the volt and amp readings and it was within expected range for my location, sun intensity and time of year, etc. - between 25 and 45 watts. Not an issue. However, whenever I tested the unit by connecting to a receiving source -- it could not push any charge through. I tested the cables that came with it and they all tested fine with no faulting or issue and so it was the cords. I'm not experienced in solar systems and so I can't say with confidence what the issue was but definitely something on the board controls of the array which just wasn't pushing the current out that it was actually generating. Housing around the plugs and board at the base of the unit was also quite flimsy and obviously very not water proof and so just not as well constructed as I was hoping for. It clearly is more of a budget unit so none of this was shocking and maybe it was just a defect in that unit but I didn't want to bother digging into the internals when I just don't have enough knowledge on those types of setups. So I did a return and not an exchange sadly. Maybe other peoples experiences will differ and again this review might be biased based on a simple defect which might not be endemic to the product. But still ---

Work perfectly:)
I’ve had this solar panel for several days now and every day it has given me 60 watts. I use it to charge my EcoFlow river 3+ and it works like a dream. I’ve never had a solar panel put out exactly what it’s rated for. This 60watt panel gives me 60watts. :):):):). Love it. Thank you flexpanel
