Oh my gosh !! I am totally pleased with my 200 w semi flexible solar panel ! I bought a eco-flow foldable solar panel, and I thought wow this is pretty good, so I bought a second ecoflow solar panel. And then a month or so later I seen that all powers had a 200 watt foldable solar panel on sale. And I thought well I should try that. I am totally glad I did all powers foldable solar panel blew me away ! It totally charged up my three Eco flow power Banks really fast ! And after that happened I decided to buy the 200 watt all powers semi-flexible solar panel. I am not disappointed, ! Wow it collect so much wattage and charges my power Banks so fast ! I will never buy another ecoflow solar panel And all powers solar panel also connects to all my ecoflow products I have the wave to air conditioner heater, I have the ecoflow river 2 I have the ecoflow Delta 2 and I have the ecoflow Delta Max . No more chasing the Sun I just put that semi flexible solar panel on my windshield and it takes care of the charging. Did I mention I live full-time in Northwest Montana in my Ram Sprinter oh and I'm 63 years old🎉
Oh man, yes you could easily store 5 of these. Also easy to transport, and deploy. Also for people in apartments, I could see these being deployed on balconies. Thanks!
Nice price point on this for what it is. Would of been interesting to see if a different brand power station would have given you better or worse results. Down here in Florida in summer my 400 w q cells will give me like 325 w in the heat. However in winter they will go slightly over the 400w. Not sure what the heat is like were you are but it plays a big part in production for sure. Sometimes I pray for one of our infamous 10 minute thunder boomer events gets those panels cooled off very quickly. Lol
I'm in Texas, so kind of similar heat but less moisture :) I've totally experienced those thunder boomer events you mention in Florida. 30mins sunny beautiful day, 10mins hammering down water balloons in a cycle throughout the day LOL. Yeah I actually want to make another video with these using a discreet system, probably a Victron MPPT, some battery, and inverter. Thanks!
They look pretty good to me. Did you try improving the performance by angling towards the sun more directly. Would be interesting to see if it makes any difference.
Hey Brad, just curious... Have you tried them with the unit's batteries more depleted? Wondering if charging was throttled down with the higher battery percentage.🤷 Sorry if that's a dumb thing to ask, I'm only into this solar thing for a little over a year. Love your content brother. Be safe all.🙏
I have not had a chance to do anything else with them. I will say I thought they did pretty decent. I pretty much consider 75% - 80% of rated not bad. It's not easy to get 100% because they rate solar panels at STC (Standard Test Conditions) Look up STC for solar panels. Thanks, and glad you enjoy the content!
could it be the SO,GEN is more efficient taking in higher- voltage low- amp, than it is with higher- amp lower- voltage, even at the same panel wattage.? 🤔
Very nice video. Can u make a video on a simple solar tracker. My understanding tracker should not be complex. Sun rises from east , on the top at noon, and sets in the west. 3 simple directions/ settings
The power station likely doesn't draw more than 8 amps until the input exceeds 32V. The Bluetti AC70, rated for 12-58V at 10A, tops out at 8.5A with a 20V Vmp panel. This design likely prevents blowing fuses when charging from 24V vehicle outlets. It's unclear why this limit isn't adjustable via the app. A clamp meter or inline power meter could confirm the limit.
You may be right. I have ran into this with many power stations. Many do indeed try to detect car charging (and limit current) to prevent overloading the lighter jack. Sadly that function interferes with PV in some configurations. I do like your idea of having an app config option for this. Thanks!
At least angle the panels to get the best result. Even if it look like it's directly above, at least use a piece of block or something to make sure it is angle directly at the sun.

$220 is not a bad price. A stash of 5 of these would store so easily. Nice tech!

so what are the pro and con on these flexible panels ? -- I don't see it ....

The sun was pretty much directly overhead. I probably could have gotten a slightly better angle, but it was already close. Thanks

Curious that series vs parallel wiring affects so dramatically the wattage intake on these panels. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome.
Higher voltage = less line losses
Thank you :)
You're welcome :)

Angel, length of cord, and thinnest, heat, and do the station handel volt better then amps input6

I've already made such a video enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/e5Y2ZYkQBAQ/v-deo.html

All comes down to price.
But they are not cigs
