@HOBOTECH - hey man.... guess what??
*_IT’S HOOOUUUUBOOOOOUUU TECHNOOUUUS!!!_* _without the_ *BHHANG BHHANG*
Dude... I wish I understood this to the extent where I could be confident enough to take the leap.
As I’m sure you’re beginning to realize (by the laugh you just had 😂), I watch EVERY VIDEO OF YOURS... But as I’m also sure you realize, your content is primarily crafted to appeal to the end user who’s already “taken the leap,” knows the fundamentals (or more), and are looking to UPGRADE or start a 2nd/3rd/10th solar project... sadly, no matter how many vids I’ve watched thus far, that’s just not where I’m at.
What also puts me at a disadvantage is I live in Bergen County NJ (suburban) and DONT know a single person who has any clue about lithium cells or solar set ups, so I’m literally the equivalent of a toddler being tossed out on the highway by his parents in order to learn to walk for the first time. Spoiler Alert: The toddler doesn’t make it....
I have LOTS of assorted lithium cells here and even a BRAND NEW FULL BLOWN SMART FORTWO EV UNDERCARRIAGE BATTERY that a friend from Mercedes gifted to me because of how enthusiastic Ive been about LEARNING, finally “GOING SOLAR,” and becoming the next Dr. Hobo (except mixed 50/50 w/ someone like Jehu Garcia where I’m turning my 99 VW Eurovan, house, Jeep, bicycles, etc, into full DIY lithium solar companions )... the SMART module sits in my driveway in a $700 crate (Mercedes has exquisite taste) & the lithium’s I’ve been grabbing as they become affordable sit in their happy place while fear and frustration preside over them.
since I’m “only” 41 but living on a fixed disabled retired cop monthly income that barely gets me by like your average senior on SS benefits, i don’t have the cash to just BUY UP anything i need or pay for the education i need.... so I’m wondering if there’s any type of “lessons” you offer or a one in one communication option with certain contributions? I learn ultra fast... one and done for sure.. so i know an hour or so with the right person and I’m on my way. If there’s any way you can assist me, please shoot me an email at - my YT handle (the way it’s spelled here )- AT - protonmail - D0t - c0M - or tell me what email i can use
Although you don’t focus on DIY battery creations, the general knowledge of DC & battery cell technology is the same across genres so any help is huge.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL - LOVE YOUR HUSTLE - LOVE GETTING YOUR NOTIFICATIONS
Thanks alot sir.maybe if I have extra money.
Thx Hobotech for informative and entertaining video, FWIW I ordered with Hobotech code the 180w pv pnl, 40w mppt controller and mntg brkts last week from BougeRV got a confirmation of order but no shipment info almost a week out still no shipping info getting nervous are these guys reputable sellers? What are normal order fulfillment you've received from them. Do you have a contact person I can use, where are these items shipped from China? Thanks Hobotech for your assitance with this order.
Thank you HOBOTECH just saved $41.79 on the solar panel. Now I have to install it!!!
I put three 170's in series n got EO17( not executive order haha), put in just two got 235w. Tod 1300 one pm, full sun upright tall section at 70° tp earth. Tried another panel same. Heres one: four in serious pair of el sic made -300W but three in series 485w. If IF IF tilted to thirty degrees. If to upright its EO17, over voltage. But its calif. its expected.
Got the 53 qt eb240 too. Stuffs great. Suggest 100' long leads in hilly regions. Hard to get full sun in winters shadows
I cannot watch your videos anymore, anytime I do, I end up buying something, from the ICECO fridge, and then the Bluetti SoGen, and again this solar panel. I run out of lies to tell my wife.
I'm single and I'm running out of excuses to tell myself!
I've been living off grid for 10 years and I find this guy's reviews and information quite valuable and always worth a watch. Thanks HOBOTECH!
Thanx SO much! Just ordered 2 of them to go with my Bluetti 1500, I'm stoked! 🤗
I love watching your product reviews always puts a smile on my face!
Your reviews are ALWAYS outstanding and the products shown exceptional. Also, happy to see Thor (love him) at the end of the video!
Nice to see you kept him so that Odin has a companion. Hope that you and Billy are having good times and looking forward to anything you share from time to time.
Hope you had a happy Turkey day and have a safe and healthy holiday season.
I so love that you add the Canadian links also, wish more people did that. All I ever see from Amazon is not available to you because you are Canadian. Thanks again.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Thank you. I learn so much from you , and It's only been a short time since I found you. I love the fact that you get right down to what's important, and not go on and on like some sites do. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the notification and discount code. I ordered 6 and saved a lot!
I needed one of these tools so badly, and guess what??...I got it just now FOR FREE ! 😁 Thank you, Professor, for introducing this entire product.👏🏽👍🏽 That bundle is a good deal!
I had ordered four 170 watt ones way back in the beginning of summer with your discount. It took so long, they actually sent me 180 watt panels and I love them. I will try the series parallel method.
Perfect timing, just enjoyed a 22% discount on my entire order.
Am a solar noob. Learned a lot from you (and posts) today: price per watt, wattage and voltage limits, efficiency, wiring (series and 'parallel'), adapters, etc. Thankyou!
This guy is a star.
Great sense of humor and informative.
Laugh and learn.
Unbeatable combination.
You’re my “Go to Guy” for information on everything “Solar”. I’m a seasoned gentleman and have lived off grid a good bit of my life. But I’m not tech savvy at all and I’m just now getting into setting up solar generators for my cabin on my small homestead in the Ozark Mountains. I’ve either done without most modern conveniences or ran gasoline powered generators.
I live on a minuscule income and just can’t afford to continue running gasoline powered generators on a regular basis. So I’ve been researching solar power setups on UA-cam and found your videos. I just ordered a Bluetti AC180 to run a small 12 volt refrigerator and some lights.
Thanks for the videos!!!
I finally got the BougeRV 170v panel that was on backorder(8 weeks), and yes they upgraded to the 180. I placed it on my roof 2 days after the scheduled power shut off from PG&E which didn't happen and never had to use it. I have the same setup to eb240 and a 180v panel(using your links) running a 30 foot mc4 cable, because of the Sun position I get 133w in the afternoon. Can't wait to test it in the summer.
Thank you for the review and the discount codes. Thanks BougeRV for the free connector tool, and the discounts on your products. Happy holidays! ODIN!!! THOR!!!
I just bought a BougeRV 100w 9bb panel and like it a lot, I recently also bought an Acopower 100w panel. I like the look of the Acopower all black panel, but like the Performance of the BougeRV much better. Where the BougeRV still gets some power in cloudy or shady conditions my Acopower drops to zero in shady or cloudy conditions. In full sun they both perform great
This 2yr old video still helped me, a newbie 😜🙏!
Thanks for the great reviews that you do. I really enjoy watching them! Stay safe & God Bless!
Professor, I bought the MC4 connector kit & Jackery 1000 via ur link. When I hv a permanent place to live, Bluettie AC200P will b next. By then newer models perhaps. Thx u for all u do to educate me. 🤗
So nice to listen to an expert!
Towards the end of their last production run on the 170w panels I ordered 3 panels and there was a lengthy delay. I was pleasantly surprised when 3 180w panels showed up! They even sent an item of my choice on a $20 credit for the lengthy delay. Anyway, I ordered another panel once my AC200 arrive so I could get as lose to 700w in series and it arrived in days. Great company to deal with, great communications on the delay with an offer to cancel or wait + $20 store credit.
just bought a pair of these and a 40amp solar charger and saved $60 withyour code, thank you sir!
Thank you so much ,I'm trying to get setup an you have been such a blessing to me .Much love
Thanks again for all your great work and information for us. Happy holidays
Testing environment, dirt, broken chair, propane tank in a crate, check!
Gotta simulate proper camping environments!
I have an eb240 and the new AC200 first Indiegogo Edition. I put four 200w Newpowa solar panels on my van. I tried to run all four in series but it tripped the over-voltage on the eb240. So now I split three of those off together charging the eb240 and I left the fourth panel up there as a backup charger for the AC 200 or my other smaller solar chargers. Right now in November maxing I'm pulling 320 Watts I expect to get more in the summer. But hopefully not the Max so it doesn't over-voltage.
Absolutely love it! Just what I've been looking for. Glad to know you can put 2 in series. Don't think I'll need more than two. Thanks! Checking out below to see if I can possibly win!!!
JUST ORDERED A PANEL AND ALL THE CABLES AND OTHER FIXENS FOR A PRACTICE 2014 CHEVY EXPRESS BUILD OUT. ORDERED A 40 AMP MPPT THAT I WILL USE ALONG WITH OTHER PANELS THAT I WILL ORDER LATER FOR MY NEW 2020 CHEVY EXPRESS RV BUILD OUT FOR ME. THANKS FOR THE DISCOUNT.
You are just a Funny Hobotech Man.. I think they are great !! Just getting ready for my Full-time RV Life!! All this helps a lot!! Thank youuuuuuu!! 😉😅
Guess what I will be buying! Thank you for sharing! 👍🤗
This a great deal !!
I need flexi but i might buy few these for next year. Set up at summer cabin
Nomad scientist in shorts, sandals and a lab coat. Love it. Cheers!!!
No longer nomadic
I saw your video on bestek 300 watt inverter. And bought one thank you.
I was the early bird at your camp in 2023, and I got a so-gen from ya! Thanks. WalkINBeauty
Excellent video, I am looking for a van like yours, not too big, not too small, I love that van, and they are well designed
Thanks for your reviews of the products. It helps me decide which things I need as I collect the things we need for vanlife.
Same here!
Thanks for the freebie and the great info.
I just got the Bluetti solar panels and they are very compact and well built. They store nicely!
However the price and wattage of these Bouge are tempting. My house is tiny so will have to figure out a way to connect two of them suitcase style.
HOBOTECH, just say the name. (ok, I typed it). Saved me over $40, which was twice the other discount. Installing one panel (on my Land Cruiser) will be better than 2, and it looks like the same wattage produced. Free ship too! Thanks Professor!
I really enjoy your video,just started watching your videos and trying to learn about these 👍 I’m live over by sherman Tx
Picked up 2 or these panels..good deal.. now my camp looks like a Hobotech garage sale: Jackery 300, Bluetti eb150, iceco vl60 dual, all working great more than satisfied
fyI Got an email from BougeRV stating their shipment was cancelled due to covid and wont be shipping panels out until February
Thank you score 2 panels , tool kit sold out, but found and alternative
Entertaining, informative and saves me money, how can you beat that, with the intro, that tops it all,lol
With the discount code they're the same price as 2x 100W HQST panels. So a little less watts but you would save a fair amount of space
Yay. I always love watching your videos!!
Professor if your up near Flagstaff at about 7,000 ft elevation you'll probably find your solar panels perform a little better, something I have noticed with my panels is they do a little better at higher elevation.
Just found your channel enjoying it. Thank you
Another awesome video.. love your videos they are so informative and not full of all the BS.. have to say I watch to the very end every time just to hear.. “and clean my litterbox” makes me laugh every time..
Thank you Tom, 'The Solar Man!! Unbelievable..!! After your review of the AC50S and me pulling the trigger (arriving in 1-2 days) , I have been searching for a solar charging solution and thought that one of these might be a better choice than a similar output suitcase model or two of lesser specs in series. I also like the idea of powering cargo trailer a/c... Besides the cabling for rig/dwelling use, would you kindly recommend cabling from your site to direct connect to the AC50S as BRV does not display any..?? Yes, I have pulled the trigger for the complete BRV solution.
AC50S comes with a MC4 adapter? That's all you need.
I ordered this panel from BougeRV. A huge defective massage chair was delivered to my house ~ apparently it was a return to the same warehouse. Submitted a ticket today ~ let’s see how the customer service is 🤞
Hello Professor
Cut the trees down on that Mountain. Good Video. Happy Holidays
Cool! I got the free tool. Thanks!
Thanks Professor HoBo!
Picked up 3 of these on Amazon for 145 CAD each a few days ago.
BOUGERV15 !
Nice panels too. Wish I had seen this last week...still may do it and send the HQST back!
Could use that tool as a spanner wrench as well😁
Look!! Up in the sky!! Here comes Solarman and his faithful friend, Sogen, to save the day!!!!♥️♥️♥️
I just watched one of your older videos when you were packing solar panels on the luggage rack that was on the back of the luggage rack that was on the back of your van. Hahahahaha. How did you drive that? Massive tail swing!
COULD YOU RUN THOSE ON A VAN IN A 4 PANEL SERIES LIKE YOU SAID IN THE OPENING OF THIS VIDEO. GREAT JOB YOUNG MAN. WOW WHAT A DEAL
Of course you can.
Dang HoBo, you da man! Good info for us lay people. Did you get those solar pants yet?😁
Do u have a video of your Solar Panels holders. Do the move? How?
Hello HOBOTECH
Great videos, I like the 4 panel set up either MPPT , wires, & LCD display for 788. Is that a “Ship to Canada” deal only?
I followed your link, & thats what I saw. I’d love that package here in Michigan, thanks
Yeah, those tools are really helpful with the MC4 connectors. I can't separate the male and female without them.
@Jake Songster That would work but then it would be a wasted zip tie. Tools are reusable.
@Jake Songster I just find it easier to use my $10 set of metal tools. They'll last a long time. I don't have a lot of zip ties sitting around.
@Jake Songster I'm using them on portable folding panels that I do need to disconnect from sometimes. It's a great idea you have but it's too late for me and doesn't apply since I'm not building a solar system. I'm using portable generators. I already bought the tools last year when I bought my panels so it's a mute point for me. But thanks for the information.
@Jake Songster Yep, thanks. It's a good alternative. 👍
Hi I brought a 250 watt panel and it only puts out 80 watts.
Here are the features. That’s the most I can get out of it on a sunny clear day in Australia in summer time
Features
Maximum Power: 250W
Cell Efficiency: 23.5%
Temperature Range: ﹣25℃ to 85℃
Power Tolerance: 0-3%
Standard Test Conditions: AM=1.5,E=1000W/㎡, TC=25℃
Solar Cell: Motech
Total Weight: 3.1kg
IP Rating: IP65
Cable Length: 2.5 square(90cm)
Great content! You said the AC200P's voltage range is 35v-150v. Does that mean I would need at least 2 panels to get above 35V?
The cat at the end! SUBSCRIBED!
Hello, very informative videos. Which of your other videos might answer these questions for me? I have an RV & trailer, room for 3 solar panels 42x62, of which one would be mounted on the trailer, for which I’d like to get the maximum wattages out of i.e close to 600 to 1000+. They will then be used to charge a solar generators i.e. a Jackery or the like. I want to mount the panels permanently and keep the solar generator portable, but make it so that it can power up all my RV outlets while being charged by the solar panels or even the RV alternator while driving and house batteries. Which long life solar panels would you suggest I consider and which solar generator would be able to handle the power from 3 high watt solar panels you may suggest?
Thanks for the videos! I bought the Bluetti ac200p and 4 of these 180W Bougerv panels. I'm in Southern California with no clouds. The most I've seen coming in at the peak of the day is about 350W incoming. Does that seem right to you? If not, do you have any suggestions?
Sir Hobo❤...I need your help..The bouge rv and renogy 9bb 100 watt panels are on Black Friday sale...which ones should I buy a.s.a.p? 🙏⚖️🤯Thank you for all your Awesome reviews 💯
Wow, so cool. It's hard to find 12 volt solar panels over 120 watts
I miss the vlogs man, please bring them back.
This has been a review channel since 2019. I explain my reasons in the "history of hobo" video. I am considering a 2nd channel for vlogs after I hit 100k subs.
Was there a Black Friday sale I missed and did the HOBOTECH code reduce the price even further?
If so...does anybody think they will be on sale Boxing Day? Also how long does the HOBOTECH promotion code last...weeks...months? And I would like to say thanks for not forgetting the viewers in Canada and offering us a code and link as well!
You missed the whole thing. Gotta subscribe to be notified!
I got mine with your link and discount code... I'm a little anxious that the company name was entirely in Chinese Script that I couldn't read when it charged me, but hopefully it all works out...
I received my panel last Friday. Great deal! Only $149. Only one problem. It was smashed to smithereens when I opened it. I did receive immediate response from BougeRV and they indicate another will be shipped by end of Month (today?). They did say I could keep the smashed panel. I live in Massachusetts, I tested the panel yesterday as it was quite sunny. The panel easily reached the maximum wattage I could pump into my Jackery Explorer 160. The real surprise came when I plugged it into my new Audew 300Wh SoGen ($217 with hobocode). The unit had only 3 bars of 5 when I started. It completely charged in 1.5 hours (noon to 1:30) with an early winter Northeast sun situation. I can't wait to see how the new panel will perform.
still worked even smashed?
@@johnnybravo5625 - yes. The glass is honeycomb smashed but still covers the cells. I've seen hobotech use his smashed panel before. I figured I'd plug it in and see if it has any value. I doubt it would last very long if it were exposed to any type of moisture. I'll send a photo if you want to see.
A broken panel will still work for about a third to half of its rated power depending on how bad it is. The cracks actually cause shading hence the drop in performance. You just have to watch getting it wet.
@@HOBOTECH I wonder if there is some form of weather proofing film or something I could apply to protect it without compromising the effectiveness even more. Dragging this large panel in when it looks like rain could get annoying.
@@matthewforsyth2469 I know from working in the construction business that there's a clear film used to cover carpeted stairwells (comes in a wide roll) which has a sticky side. It should work perfectly.
Pallbearer gloves, interesting? Did you use to handle radiographic film... correctly? If so, you can probably handle a paper punch as well. You look very familiar?
hmmmm wonder if i can get 2 of these on my truck? it works on paper, but ill have to get one and see.
Another good product review!
I am a newbie. I just bought a Rockpal 350. Q. I have to phyically hit the button ro get it working by type. If I want to run solar cameras (dont have yet) when I am out of town. Can I use my rockpal unattended.
I do have a AGM battery. Should I use that instead.
I have a bit of a dumb question. Can I use the solar charging into the battery @ 24 volts while at the same time using the 12 volt going out? Great vid by the way. A bit cheesy but very iformative. ;)
Is there a way to mount two of these on the roof rack of a minivan? The distance between the roof rails is approximately 45"
Just ordered one panel - about $148.20 after HOBOTECH code👍
Is that with free shipping ?
Tax ??
Return shipping if they come broken ?
Are shipped immediately? I tried ordering October not available
(17.5amps vs. 13amps per Ecoflow solar generator. Will controller only take in up to 13amps
i have a Bluetti AC200 and one of their SP120 120W Solar Panels. Can the BougeRV be hooked up alongside the Bluetti panels and how many would i need ? thanks so much
Great video, as usual. Thanks. Do you know if they have stopped making flexible panels?
Yes, well over a year ago.
HOBOTECH Thank you for your quick response. AND huge bummer. I have been waiting for them to come back in stock. I guess the wait is over. I liked them because they used the Sunpower cells and were thicker than average, so hopefully they would last longer. I keep hearing that flexible panels do not last and quickly drop in the amount of power they output. I think Will Powers said it. Do you have a recommendation for a durable flexible panel?
Hi. I purchased two of these panels and used them on a Bluetti EB70. I have since updated my solar gen to a Bluetti AC300. Are these panels compatible??
Nice review. Would you recommend running 6 panels on a house and could you suggest (bang for buck)what I should be looking at for a battery bank and solar controller for an emergency backup setup? I want to be able to run essentials such as a chest freezer, full size fridge, led lights and a electric heater if possible. I know absolutely nothing but suppose I should be looking at amp draw for each appliance to determine needs.
Watch my EP500 and Delta Pro reviews.
I am custom building a camper top for my truck and ordered two of these panels which will not be shipped until February. Does anyone have the dimensions for the hole spacing on the back of the panels where the mounting brackets get fastened? I want to make sure the camper framework is correct for secure mounting of the panels.
Cold out there, good solar, what you think of EFPT ?
Thanks for sharing.
great man-did you read a book to learn how to do all this stuff/thanks much
Little of topic but what cheap battery would be good for recharging only by running the engine on a class b van. Would 2 6v batteries be better? Also in a cold climate.
What kind of mounts are you using for the panels at the 10:12 mark?
HI Prof Hobo, just bought my Bluetti AC200P for home and looking for solar panels. Does these BougeRV panels have apropriate connectors to hook into AC200P or do we have to change them . Secondly I tried and your code doesnt seem to be working any longer. Any suggestions please? TIA
Please put a link to find that little white box that you used to test the wattage out put , thanks
Hobotech.tv/Amazon under tools
Hobo tech dude, I know this is a older video but can I use a bougerv 200 watt solar panel to charge my jackery 1000 with Anderson adapter since the jackery has a charge controller?
Great video thanks
I ordered the day this vid came out Nov 30. After I finally got ahold of someone at BougeRV they told me they are backlogged until February.
Update: They stated inventory may be available through Amazon but that the 180w panel is unavailable via their website until February. They initiated a refund. I doubt the 2.99 cross border fee will be reimbursed so I'm out $3. Bummer that Hobo lost this commission
Thanks for sharing
