I have two of these 120w panels except they are labeled baldr. I put them in series and plug them into my Victron SmartSolar 100/30. These panels are super portable and stow away easy because they fold up so small. I was hesitant to buy them because of how cheap they are but happy I did.
Excellent content. You pretty much answer any questions I might have, so that means you more than likely have answered this one and I missed it. What type C cable do you recommend? I saw some that said 60w and some 100w, but I don't know what is appropriate. I bought an oupes 600, and some panels, but I'm going to order ones that have pd60w you recommended. What would you recommend?
I actually did retest both panels just today with the Jackery 1000 only at 60% charge and the results were essentially the same, so I'm confident that the results I showed in the video fairly represent both products. It's a legitimate concern though, so thanks for bringing it up. I'll be sure and show testing at a lower SOC in the future, just so there's no question about it affecting the test results.
I'd say as a 120W panel, I'd slightly prefer the Elecaenta 120W, but the differences are not significant. I do very much like the Togo Power 100W as an alternative to the Jackery 100W....extremely easy to deploy and pack-up...virtually identical but with more connector options included and a much lower price than the Jackery. Hope that helps! :)
Your jacket was 90% plus full. If you’re going to see how panels do, your jackets needs to be no more than 50% full so solar panels can input max power.
Ok, so I got some great sky conditions just now so I ran my E1000 down to 60% and retested. I'm basically seeing the same results, getting about 88-90W on the 120W panel and about 84-86W on the 100W panel. So I think my conclusions still apply here...you should consider that this 120W is not going to produce much more than a 100W and instead consider the TOGO 120W panel on other design characteristics. I suspect this is also why TOGO has them basically priced the same right now. One thing I DID discover though is that running 2 100W panels in parallel, I'm now getting about 125W into the E1000 instead of 115W...so that's an improvement, but still well below the 163W max Jackery says I should be able to get (which I can only get via the AC adaptor). So I think the numbers I was seeing before, connecting 200W of solar, were probably being dampened slightly since the Jackery was probably at a 90+% charge when I did that testing. Not a HUGE difference...but worth considering for sure, so thanks for mentioning that! :)
*The solar **Generater.Systems** E300 is a great product . It does everything well. Great job, Jackery.*

Thanks for this information, I'm trying to find my feet as far as alt power goes.

If you're just looking for a suitable cable, I'd maybe consider this one: amzn.to/3b1W67V rated for up to 100W and is 10' long so plenty of length.
@@ReeWrayOutdoors Thank you sir.
I can't help but wonder what your results would've been had the Jackery was at 70% or so.... almost lends to restricting outage is all I'm saying...
*almost full lends to contradictions...

Do you know what's the manufacture warranty for the TOGO Power 120W?
which one would you consider is better between this and the elecaenta 120w

@@ReeWrayOutdoors Thanks for the response! i got the elecaenta one and so far ! it working great! might pick up another one
Great review. I don't see the coupon.
It's a check box in the Amazon listing. Are you in the US?
Can this be used with Oupes 1800?
Toss up a Jackery 200 watt panel with them.
Ha! For $700, it SHOULD crush everything!
Your jacket was 90% plus full. If you’re going to see how panels do, your jackets needs to be no more than 50% full so solar panels can input max power.
Hmmm, I'd thought the input throttling started closer to 97 or 98% but I'll have to recheck and see if I get a different result and report back.

@@ReeWrayOutdoors yes the 100 seems to be more efficient.
