5.0 out of 5 stars High-Quality Product, March 27, 2008

I was looking for a few-watt solar panel for my little home project. The idea was to run a couple of ventilation fans in my house's crawl space, using solar power. Both decent price and thorough technical specs of CDT panel have attracted me. And this product really satisfied my expectations! Panel produces current/voltage as specified. It is sturdy, easy to mount. Thanks to its sealed design, it has survived all kinds of weather during the winter - snow, ice, cold, etc. And right at this moment, it is running those fans! Highly recommended!

This review is from: 5 watt Solar Panel

I have an automatic gate openner which runs on 12V battery which is charged by solar power. I was having trouble with the battery losing its charge because of trees in the area which were blocking the sun. I went to the people who installed my system and they wanted $120 just for another panel. So I began looking on the internet and found these panels. At first I was skeptical because the price seemed too low. Any way I decided to give the company a chance and my battery charging problems are solved without cutting down any trees. I just connected the new panel in parallel with the old. These are definitely high quality panels. Terry

This is simply the best 5W panel you will find - anywhere. Very rugged build quality w/ an aluminum frame and epoxy sealed tempered glass (this thing is *NEVER* coming apart!). The power output also tested better than rated. Compared to other plastic 5W products (which I've also owned while they worked), this is a far superior product. My next project will be much larger and I will definitely be ordering from CDT again. This was one of the better amazon.com purchases I've made.
