Good: The solar panels were surprisingly light weight. The cords were long, estimate around 8 foot long. I will end up cutting them down since I don’t need all that wire, but nice to have if need it.
BAD: They and definitely not water/weather proof… two large mounting holes in back of the panels go direct to the wires and solder joints. Water will get in and likely pop the panel open when the water freezes. The housing is thin plastic that snaps together, and some have a slight bow causing them to spread open so not sure how will hold up to direct sun and harsh weather. The voltage from all 5 panels, measured one after the next in the same sunlight, varied by 0.8V. All were above 6V but one just barely. This may change in more /less sunlight but gives a general idea of what to expect. NO BLOCKING DIODE…checked them all and no diodes. I had to get some and solder them in myself (see picture as received and then after me adding one). Overall, cheaply made panel, not water resistant. Might work for some people but not me… they will require more work to make useful. Buy a Zealife 1W or Moultrie solar panel instead, costs more but is already weather tight and has a diode installed.
