BUY 160 Watts

LOVE IT AND WORKS GREAT! used it for camping for the week and charged up my Jackery perfectly. I put it on my car in the sun and charged up my Jackery in about 2 hours! took it to the beach and laid it out and charge up again my power station really fast too. comes with multiple connecters and long cord too. It folds up perfectly and easy to carry around

Bought 2 of these and took them on an 8 day boondocking camping trip in my 5th wheel to charge my Goal Zero Yeti 1000 power station. My wife and I use the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 to run our CPAP machines at night. I also used them to charge the 5th wheel batteries. Because of several factors (like clouds and the way I just threw them flat on the ground), I still had to run my gas generator a few times. Here is what I discovered:1. I love these panels and just bought a third one. I also have two heavy Goal Zero 100W briefcase solar panels but they are so heavy I don't like them. Much prefer the DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels. Much easier to store.2. They never produced 160W but my Goal Zero 100W panels never produced 100W either.3. I love the battery management control box that comes FREE with the DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panel. I can hook it directly to my 5th wheel lead acid batteries and charge them to full capacity in a few hours (time varies because of lots of reasons).4. The cheaper DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels don't have a kick stand so I had to lay them against a rock or just lay them flat on the ground. This made them less efficient but I didn't have to keep adjusting them like I had to do on the Goal Zero briefcase 100W ones.5. For the price of one 100W Goal Zero panel I can buy 2 DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels.6. In the morning I lay them flat on the ground, hook them up and don't mess with them until the sungoes down.7. I just bought a third one and hope I won't have to run the gas generator at all (depending on the weather). If three isn't enough I will buy a fourth one and leave the Goal Zero ones at home.Bottom line: If money is no problem the best solution is to have permanent solar panel system installed on the roof of your RV. But if you buy solar panels you can't go wrong with these DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels. Besides while I'm saving up for my home Tesla solar panels and back up batteries, I can use them at home for emergencies. Easy to lift and slim to store in the garage. Highly recommended.

Design & Portability:One of the standout features of this solar panel is its foldable design. It’s incredibly convenient for transport and storage, making it a great option for camping trips, road adventures, or emergency preparedness. The panel folds up neatly, so you can easily stow it in your vehicle or carry it with minimal hassle.Performance:The panel is advertised as a 160W unit, but in my experience, it only maxed out at 75W. This significant discrepancy means you might not get the power output you expect, especially if you’re relying on it for substantial energy needs. For instance, it took around 4.5 hours to charge my Bluetti power station to just 14%. While this could be useful in a pinch, it’s not ideal if you’re looking to rapidly replenish your battery or power larger devices. It could be user error, but I have a 100W non-portable panel that hit 90W in similar conditions.Usefulness:This panel could be handy in situations where you need a portable power source and can afford to wait longer for a charge. It’s fine for small, low-power devices or if you're not in a hurry to get your battery levels up. However, for serious power needs or quicker charging, you might want to consider a higher-wattage or more efficient panel.Conclusion:The foldable 160W portable solar panel offers excellent portability and could be a useful tool if you’re in a tight spot. However, the actual power output falls short of expectations, so keep this in mind if you’re relying on it for significant energy needs. It’s a decent backup option but may not be the best choice for primary power generation.

Very nice set of solar panels just wish they included a set of stands because they are pretty inefficient without putting them on a proper angle to the sun. The company sells the stands separately. The stands they sell are alright but where they weld the rods to breaks easily. I posted a bad review on the stands and the company reached out to me and are sending me another set so they are very receptive to the customers needs. When used at the proper angle these panels deliver. They put out a respectable 8.8amps @ 22.5 volts open circuit. I made this setup more efficient by using a 12gauge SAE extension and a portable MMPT charger as the one they provided is adequate but I need every watt these panels deliver to recharge my Ham Radio battery’s out in the field and and MMPT charger can keep delivering power even on cloudy days . The panels are nice and light so if you have to trek your gear by carrying it a distance this is great and was my main reason for purchasing this brand. They are very thin and folded up are only about 2” thick and about 9 lbs with the controller and cables. They have a nice storage compartment built in. If I can make one suggestion to the company to make this the greatest system. Build stands into the panels backs like a photo frame has so you don’t need a set of stands. It would make these truly light and an even better product. These panels charge a 12.8 volt 20 Ah LIFEPO4 battery from a shut off voltage of 10.1 volts to a full charge in about 2.5hrs in direct sun light. The only gripe that I had was setting the provided PWM charge controller to B4 so it could charge LIFEPO4 batteries. Very confusing but I finally did it. This is one of the reasons I purchased a nice MMPT charger dedicated to charging this type of battery. You can’t go wrong buying these great panels. They also provided a nice set of accessory’s with these panels including a set of alligator clamps and multiple charging plugs. Very well thought out accessories.

Works great for my camping trailer!
