Recommendation on good foldable solar panel.

[Hegear]

Hey guys.

hoping someone has a good recommendation for a 200watt portable solar panel. I’ll plugging into a redarc 50amp dc/dc with solar input.

I only use this when I need some extra power as I have 460watt on my roof.

I have only tried bluetti panels before, but after having 3 of them stop working after light use, I’m looking for something longer lasting and generally more reliable.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've had a Powerfilm 60W foldable panel for years. Never a problem with it.

Watching. I have this Dokio and seldom see more than 80 watts.

I recently started running it through a Victron controller so will see if I get better results this season.

Dokio 200W folding glass/aluminum, ~$150 on amazon.

If it's on a separate MPPT I'd recommend wiring it for 24V (actually ~32V) by putting them in series. You can have a long run of not ridiculously fat wires then, which is nice if there are trees, or you just want to park in the shade.

I use 2 of these in series. Maximum flexibility. Can run 1 or both together, depending on circumstances. They also make a 200W panel but I prefer 2 smaller panels for ease of handling and smaller footprint, less susceptible to getting blown over when not laying flat on the ground.

It might be tempting to believe there is sorcery going on at Merlin Solar, given how rugged and efficient the SolarHawk Rover Portable Solar Panels are. But in fact, these heavy duty portable solar panels are the product of good, old-fashioned American research & development. SolarHawk Rover...
