SOLPERK Solar Panel Kit 50W 12V, Waterproof Solar Battery Trickle Charger Maintainer + Waterproof Controller + Adjustable Mount Bracket for Boat Car RV Motorcycle(Without Mounting Bracket)

Works great. I have the 30 watt and the 50 watt solar panel packages. Quality components and construction. This is a pic of the 30 watt set up. (I mainly got it for back up emergency communications here in hurricane land) It powers all of my batteries and my ham radios. Even chilling outside with a laptop and tunes (sat radio) works just fine. Would recommend.

Good price, delivered on time, easy to set up and working as we speak. I’m using it outdoors to maintain 5 , 12 volt batteries. I definitely would buy another one. I love it.

Installed on a shed roof Saturday. I had to buy a seperat mounting kit that I screwed into the roof. It is now soaking sunlight and pushing it into a battery and lights. The SCC integrated all parts easily into existing battery and lights. I'll let it run a week. If no fires or murdered battery, I'll remain very satisfied. No more manually recharging battery every couple of weeks.

First off, I never intended to use just one of these panels to charge my 12V lead acid car battery with the included PWM charge controller and attached wiring harness. Rather, I intend to buy multiple examples of these panels and configure them with a more comprehensive MPPT controller, LiFePO4 battery and inverter in a carry-in-car and set-up-quickly portable application. The 23.1" (541mm) square footprint is ideal for the portability I need and the price is certainly right. Fortunately, the fit and finish of the panel itself is very good. This sort of thing would have easily cost twice as much just a few short years ago. There are a few rough edges on the corners of the aluminum framing, but that's a minor point. The individual cells look to be very cleanly assembled, topped with a nice piece of glass and the caulking sealant job along the interior of the frame is very clean. I knew from the Amazon listing, however, that the panel would come with a 6' long piece of spindly zip cord terminated with a 2-pin trailer connector. The good news is that the junction box termination on the back of the panel is of the conventional type with a water-proof seal. It's going to be relatively easy to solder in better cabling with standard MC-4 connectors. As it turns out, the attached cable (basically 14 gauge red/black lamp cord) had a short . . . zero voltage and amp readings on the multimeter at the connector end! Readings off the tabs inside the junction box (easy to pry off the back cover with a flat blade screwdriver) indicates, though, that the panel outputs 23.6V and 2.5A on my quickly-assembled back yard test rig (picture attached.) That's very good. I tested at Noon with reasonably perpendicular panel/Sun angling on a cloudless day. Ambient temperature was approximately 70° F / 21° C Next, I trimmed/stripped the 14 gauge wires to within about 1 foot of the junction box and got similarly good readings. Subsequently, I found out that the short was in the remaining (now detached) ~5 feet of cable somewhere along the black/negative wire. I did not test the included PWM charge controller. If it was just for the panel itself, I'd give the Solperk SK-M50W a solid 5 stars. I'm knocking it down to 4 stars because the wiring harness is terrible and, in my case, non-functioning out of the box. I will be buying more of these panels for my above-described application, knowing that the other included bits will be going into the waste can and I'll need to solder in suitable 10 gauge wires at the junction box end, terminated at the other end with real MC-4 connectors. The additional attached photo here shows the back of the panel (junction box cover removed) with labeling.

Keeps the batter fully charged when we’re off grid camping

Great product, use it to keep my batteries charge in my 30 ft boat that we have in Puerto Rico. Starts right up after months between visits.

Purchased and installed this solar panel on two different sailboats. Product comes with all necessary things for full installation, very easy. I needed additional metal structure and bracket assembly to mount on the push pit of the boat. It has been several months and it charges the battery effectively.

The controller shown in all photos is a 12V/24V version, but a 12V controller is provided. Granted it does state 12V in title, it is very misleading to use a different controller than provided in all pictures. Unable to use this kit without purchasing seperate controller. There is no bundle option for dual controller.
