Will you sell the one you shot holes in?
@@ThePrinceOfParaphernalia😂😂😂
If you really think about it this perfect for teardrop RVs!
Shooting and off grid power: I think your audience will like this content.
Bravo CIGS 'Bullet Proof' solar panels!! Also loved your real-world campsite test facility.
you can make a Vest out of them ! lol
bullet proof baby@@monteself6826
I have the 100 watt Yuma on my Toyota Sequoia! Had it for close to a year. Very happy.
Still puts out power even in the shade.
Doctor Hobo ( assuming you have an advanced degree) Love the review. I have 600 watts of Yuma on my camper roof. Fit perfectly, glued right down. All for around 20 lbs. So these are are perfect for weight conscious slide in campers! I walk on them only when I have to, so far no probem. I wouldnt have had solar on my camper except for these panels. Screwing into fiberglass top and and all the extra weight, wind resistance, make glass not useable for me.
Correction, it's Professor Hobo... 😆
What amazing technology for a flex panel. I know exactly what flex panels I'm going to put on my camper now. Thanks for doing all the thorough testing for us!
By far the most thorough solar panel review I've watched 😄. Awesome!👍 This an excellent channel. Thanks!
Cool! These should work for the F-35 I found in my back yard.
Best solar panel torture test video ever!!
Efficiency esmishency, 165 and 170 whatever watts is great laying down flat when the sun is at a tilt. 60 to 85 w is what my 100-watt glass panels make during prime hours on any of my systems. I have a 100 watt portable panel that makes 65 at the most, so this is pretty damn good.
Super helpful video and discount code! I still have my Renogy glass panel going strong on my roof from following your installation instructions from years ago. But I want this new panel! You rock. Thank you for the science.
My understanding is that the materials for a CIGS actually costs less than a typical mono/glass panel, but they just haven't gotten the same efficiencies of scale through mass production because it's not a widely used and adopted technology yet on the market. My hope is once the demand ramps up on these things and more venders come into the market with similar technology, we can start getting some efficiencies of scale and drive down the price.
Finally a solar panel for my submarine
This was a impressive video, I bought a Montek Waterproof Solar Generator a few years ago on your recommendation when you put it thru a torture test, and I think I'm going to buy a Yuma CIGS to pair up with it. Thanks Hobotech.
I own two of the 100 watt flexible adhesive backed BougeRV Solar Panels. One is glued on top of the cab of my Roadtrek 200 Class B+, GM 3500 series. It works well, stays in place, very light weight and strong. I am budgeting to buy more. Worth every cent. Have removed standard hard frame solar panels and installed a roof A/C for stays at places with shore power. My goal is too get more BougeRV sticky back solar and put as many as I can on the roof of my Roadtrek. Using Ecoflow Wave-2 as a boondocking A/C at night and so far things are good. Many Thanks to HoboTech for all the very informative presentations.
been watching your channel since I think at least 5 years gotta say this ranks right up there
Pretty good one Hobo 👍
ive been using CIGS panels like those daily for 4 years - Very Good - Rugged - had cows walk on them several times - zero problem
I joke below partially through your video......but.....THATS AN OUTSTANDING PANEL !!!! For me a camp panel in the woods getting small limbs and leaves falling on it. On my boat, I live in snow country......this is really more versatile and easy install. I really like it !!!!!
As mentioned earlier, I'd like to see if the CIGS panel takes a water-resistance hit if it goes through the gravel drag and foot tread tests presented in the video. Bullet holes are optional :)
I vote for a graphic of HOBO blastin' & draggin' a helpless panel.
This design sounds great. Even suited to true winter conditions where you might have to scrape/chip ice off of them
This is the content we need.
I've been wondering about this panel... Fantastic review... Thank you! 👍😁
Fantastic product. Wow! Once the industry adapts this technology and the price drops, it’s going to be the go-to foldable panel for consumers.
You did an OVER-THE-TOP testing presentation ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡😎☕☕
Love it😁1,000%
I have a 160 watt CIGS mounted to the roof of my Prius for years. I has never generated 160w! But working fine.
So glad I came across this video. I have a beautiful 2007 Apache popup camper and my original plan was to install 400 watts of solar. I have 2 x 200 watt regular panels at 27 lbs each. My camper uses a Heco crank system so added weight puts a strain on that system and makes it harder to raise my roof. I have struggled with what to do and these panels are the perfect solution! I'll sell the other panels and use your discount code to get 2 of the 200 watt panels with adhesive. I'm so freakin excited right now to know I've found a lightweight and even better solution than the original panels. Thanks Hobo! 👍
Professor Hobo. Professional review as always. Awesome! :D
Thanks! I ordered 2 200w cig yuma panels from bougerv using your code and got an additional $261.79 off their sale price 😀. Then I won the money back on a slot machine the same day (my birthday lol.)
28% dang!!!! Thanks Professor, you are simply the most fun. Keeping rockin in the free world dude
Still loving the intro comeback. No one else has such a cool intro! 😎👍
You did a really great review of a great product!
I have two 100w on my truck roof, they're awesome!
Just what Ive been looking for! I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on walkable solar panels for my ProMaster to complement a 400 Watts already installed. Now, I can have a bullet proof deck to enjoy.
Great review.
I agree with it all, and just installed this panel on my Toy micro-mini. It replaced a 90w German adhesive panel that lasted 8 years. I did not want to put holes in my 30 yo roof, nor add the weight and wind resistance to the struggling 3.0l engine!
CAUTION! BoughRV has many pics and figures showing this panel being bent inwards and outwards, yet, hidden in their manual, is a warning to only bend with the cells on the outside! I would tell them, but I have given up trying to communicate with their Customer Support. I finally told myself to never buy another product from them, however, this panel is the absolute best out there. Renogy makes one, but it is lower wattage, and costs even more.
BUY THEM BEFORE THE PRICE GOES UP! THEY DON'T HAVE COMPETITION!
very nice... ordered me one .. thanks Hobo!
Now I wish I had not purchased the EcoFlow Bifacial panels during Prime time sale, not that they don't perform but for the first time I love the Yuma more than any other panels I own. As always great info and video.
Awesome Review, just bought 2 of these for my roof top tent, can’t wait to install
I've been eyeing these for months!
EXCELLENT review and test as usual!
Ahh- just what I was looking for! Thank you.
Guns & Solar! My 2 favorite things ever! Love ❤️ it!
I pulled the trigger and bought one. Thank you professor
that is a cool graphic!!
love these panels!! can't believe there's really no competition yet!
After watching dozens of your videos and always learning, I can finally give you some advice. Dont jam the trigger on your beretta 92. Look for the sear reset then gently pull the trigger. it will improve your shooting a lot.
I had to ditch my 92FS.. That double/single action trigger was something I couldn't get used to. I need consistent trigger pull weight.
I could Velcro or put snaps on rig. Be portable with them and attach when needed. That way I can use them on multiple vehicles to go. I’m thinking about the utility of these since they are not fragile.
I feel like the "crazy experiments" skipped a few levels. I totally approve!
Incredible. Thanks for the video! 👍
Very much welcomed new solar technology. I think I figured out where all the gun shots were coming from.
These panels continue to impress, when doing my shade tests against renogy panels I was blown away. Now will they last will see in my update soon
Can't wait to see the results... the more testing from the testing communtiy, the better!
Awesome! Great report. I want some for my new rig!
I love the Cigs panels from BougeRV. I have the folding version and love it. I never did know how much abuse it could take until this video. Thank you for a great video. I loved that you shot it. Haha.
Sweet! This will be awesome on the roof of my Casita!
Thank you Professor.
Great video! Never knew about cigs panels
Well someone knows how to recover from a poorly trending video...lol. GREAT testing HOBO!
I love cigs specifically for the bypass diodes, I've thought of updating some other panels to do this to allow for shade tolerance.
Thanks Hobo, because of you I bought me a couple.
I really like this review, I wish you had ran some water on it after you walked on it to see if the five watts returned. I enjoy all your videos.
Also wish he would have wiped the dust off (from his foot prints) to see of that recovered any watts!?
900 watts of Cigs on my 7x14 utility trailer with an DP as the controller.. 3S setup with a 100C and 200L in parallel.. just got it going.. they do pretty well on cloudy days.. the DP/Cigs is a piggy back power system for my smalll motor home and hauls toys too
thanks for the review..
Super cool. It would have been an interesting event if the bullet split that main lead. heheh. Driving over it and watching it still work... that was amazing.
Removal should be exactly like removing a car badge. Use a fishing line along with alcohol or heat and pass it under the glue surface. Any YT video on badge removal will show you how!
I bought two CIGS about 5 months ago and it fixed a problem that could not be solved by any other type of panel. I have a very tall fiberglass roof on my Class B RV and I just did not want to mount glass panels on it due to it being already way to tall/high, fiberglass construction, round shaped, and very hard to get up there. Typical flexible panels just could not cut it due to their poor output and heat sensitivity. The 2 CIGS panels are amazing, produce WAY more than a flexible panel (I think more than glass too but not sure), they weigh very little, and add almost nothing to my van's height. And they were super easy to install.
I don't know when I have laughed as hard as I did when you pulled your gun out. Hilarious!
sweet panels ,thank you professor ,clinky from MN
Love this video, Tom! Good job! Pew pew pew !
I ran over one with a truck and posted a video about it and here we are a year later it still works
You are my go to source for testing. I have watched the amateurs and usually mention you're more in depth tests. LOL.
Welcome to Texas - Love it !
I love your videos. Very informative and you’re a funny guy.
Probably one of the best demonstrations I have seen for ANY solar panel. About the price. Yes, the cost is important, but not more important than the VALUE. When they say, get the best you can afford, THIS is what they are talking about. That was a lot of abuse that solar panel took, and still worked almost like new. Add in the very long warranty, it's value for the money you are spending. If you can't afford THIS today, it is something I would personally save up for. One other way to look at it. If it lasts HALF its warranty time, 5 years, what is your REAL monthly cost? I am rarely impressed by a product, but dang, Hobo really put some hurting on those panels, and they just shrugged it off. Amazing.
I couldn't have said it better myself...
We used to always say when vendors claimed it was idiot proof or unbreakable, let’s give it to some Army or Marine Privates for a couple hours and require them to use it, move it and set it up and break it down…..it will be broken pretty quick HAHA! That being said, these things sound awesome! It would be amazing to be able to order these by specific dimensions. I would love a solid one piece panel to cover my RV roof
Just put in the order. I needed another 200W for my Bluetti 200 max, and I'm sure I will be happy
Awesome video !
Good video and that's a great panel.
Holy cow! What a panel.
Thanks HOBOTECH For the info on CIGS. I purchased a 200 w one for my RV on your say so. Now I have to figure out how to hook it up. Are the BougeRV Mppt controllers any good ?
Amazing tech, very cool stuff, expensive but expected for what you get.
Ordering just for the cap. That graphic is sick 😍😂
That’s insane hobo unbelievable
Always amazed how much energy sunlight has.
Thank you for the video.
Nice testing😊
You weren’t messing around
Hobo throwing lead down range like a boss.
I bought 2 of the 100 watt compact CIGS panels for my RTT install. I am going to be using them to charge a AC180 Bluetti. I found I could easily install 3 of these on the top of the tent but if I wire them in series I would exceed the allowed input voltage or if I wired 3 in parallel I would exceed allowed amperage. I guess 2 will be fine. I wish Bouge RV would sell a kit for the adhesive tape so you could add it to panels that have the grommets. I ordered my panels with grommets and found now I would rather just use the adhesive method so I bought some 3M VHB tape to add to the panels. I got this Idea from Hobotech after watching his previous install on his solar panels using this.
Hi pretty much says it all, great video. 👍🐝🌞
This is my first time watching you and its a very nice video plus you are funny. I'm here for good.
Love the lab coat with shorts!
That is some impressive durability!!
I bet this video was super fun! Thanks for the 'extreme' testing! Haha (I wonder how it would handle a 12 gauge!? Haha)
When you say test, you mean TEST. Awesome stuff.
Im liking the direction solar panels are going. As manufacturing processes evolve efficiency will increase and prices should reduce.
If Consumer Rpts and Myth Busters got mashed together in an alternate universe: Viola! Love the Bo-Tech revues!
Thanks for your info vids. Are you going to do a review of the new bourge 2000 gen ? Im seriously thinking about getting one. Thanks 👍
Great intro sfx!!
second time I watch this video will have to save up for this its awesome 🙂
Dude! I totally want these!
Thanks for the review! I didn't know that CIGS existed! I'd be glad to take the shot up panels off your hands if you don't need them. :) I bought a 100W glass panel that only gives me 45W with max sun. I'm hoping that it wasn't shipped defective. :(
Best test ever
Wonder about heat buildup with no space or air under the panel.
The CIGS panels are also extremely heat tolerant, so you don't need to use an insulation layer underneath them like you need to do with silicon monochrystaline flex panels. The manufacturer also says it is unnecessary to put the insulation layer between the panel and the roof. I have two 100 watt CIGS panels and I haven't found any issues with heat affecting them. I really love mine and have been very impressed by their performance, especially in low/diffuse light and partially shaded situations. I've had days of solid heavy rain and clouds and still generated a fair amount of power.
Nice job thanks
Thus video just made you my FAVORITE UA-camr! 🔫🌞⚡
