ZOUPW Foldgo 200W Portable Solar Panel

Works great!. It's $400 cheaper than my original solar panels I got with my generator. Easy to install. Have it on my roof with the other panels.I just braced them with plywood and a 2 by 4 behind it to keep it from bowing in.( See picture) Would and will by others just like it.

Was able to get a peak of 172 watts (86% of advertised power) out of this 200 watt panel around 11:20am in late January. Definitely picking up a second one soon!

I have 2 Jackery Solar Saga 200 watt solar panels and 2 of these solar panels. These work just as well--they draw a similar wattage to the Jackery brand ones. But they are half the price!I wish I had known that before buying the Jackery ones. These are better because they are water resistant, unlike the Jackery panels. Also they have a kickstand on EACH of the 4 panels which makes it easier to prop them up. The Jackery panels only have 2 kickstands and they are cumbersome to get set up as they keep falling down.

I reviewed and returned this product when it appeared not to work with my Jackery Explorer 2000+. I presumed the problem was with these panels, but it turned out to be the Explorer. I had to return my Explorer after it turned out that nothing at ALL would charge it. ?it and returned it to me, and I bought the Jackery Solar Saga solar panels. (Again, zero watts input in full sunlight. I regret ever buying anything from Jackery.)Meanwhile, Zoupw contacted me and sent me a new set of these solar panels, and when I plugged it into the same Explorer 2000+, on December 31 in Vermont with the Sun barely over the treetops, I immediately got 140 watts of input.I wish Zoupw made a battery system! I never buy another Jackery product though.

I was sent this panel for review and I really like it. Straight out of the box i had unfolded it and deployed the kick stand in just a few minutes. There is a zipper compartment on the rear of one of the solar panels that contains usb ports and your MC4 connectors. I plugged in both my phone and tablet to the panel USB ports and both started charging immediately which was nice to see. I like that usb charging is built in because it gives you the option of bringing the panels without the need for a charge controller, and batteries etc ... If you want to charge a 12v battery then the MC4 cables give you the flexibility to do that. Folding these panels for storage took less time than it did to unfold them, and the magnets and handle make it easy to close and transport. I am keeping this in the back of my car for possible emergencies or if i know ill be somewhere where i may need the power.

This foldable solar panel is a high quality product. What are my likes and dislikes?Likes:- it is a 200W panel- it uses MC4 cables- an MC4 extension cable with 4 adapters on the other end is provided- a 10 piece adapter set is also included- the stitching job on the panels is very good- the solar cells seem to be high quality- a VOC of 23V compared to the 24.3V in the specs was achieved in my tests with partly cloudy sky conditions at 89 degrees temperature- an IMP of 10.66A compared to the 9.92A in the specs was achieved in my tests in the same conditions as specified for the voltage- the attached legs are wide and very sturdy- the elastic material used to attach the legs to the panels is high quality and the attachment is very secure- the Velcro used to secure the legs to the panels for storage is excellent and they attach very securely- there is a carrying handle built in and the closure is magnetic- there is a controller on the panels with a USB-C and 2 USB-A ports- devices may be connected directly to the USB ports Dislikes:- it is not that easy to get the panels at the correct angle to the sun when using the legs- in a horizontal position the panels take up a lot of space- setting up the panels may be cumbersome for some people, especially if it is windy- the attached MC4 cable is only about 3'I like this product especially since it is 200W. The cable and attachment accessories will allow for connecting many different devices. I am very glad that I ordered it and it will serve me well.

Whether you are at the campsite and want to charge up a battery system or you are at home and want to power a backup system, this is a great solar panel setup that covers all of your needs.This 200w panel comes as a folded 4 panel system that makes the whole thing easy to store in a compact place. What I also liked about the fold up system is that the handles have magnets that gently hold the two handles together, yet they are easy to pull apart.When in use, these panels lean over to capture the most sun with their feet that velcro in place, and can then expand out to hold each panel upright. The weight of the panel keeps the panel on the ground even in a decent wind.The product has an output panel on the back side, with two 5v USBA and 1 USBC port. I charged my rechargeable batteries up in no time! (picture included.)It also comes with a standard connector that you can hook up to the supplied cable that also has a wide range of connectors to meet your charging needs. All the cables and connectors store nice and neat in the pocket.Overall - great value for the money. Often other panels do not include as many cable connections or adapters. I love it!

Bottom line up front: I love the power output and obvious durability. It is a bit heavy.Power output is significantly better than my 150w portable panel, but then it is 200w :-) Very easy to transport, folds up quickly and doesn take up that much space. To be clear, this is not a backpacker panel, too big, too heavy. It perfect for camping though. It charged my 230Wh Noovoo in 9 hours; my smaller panel generally takes 12-14hrs.Bottom line is I like it and it a good value.

This is a very nice folding solar panel. It appears to be made of quality material. I tested it on a hazy, partly cloudy day and got around 130 watts output, which seems about right. It comes with many adapters so it should work with the majority of solar generators. Note outputs around 21 volts, so this panel is designed for small to medium sized solar generators. Very large solar generators typically require a higher voltage (see what you require by looking at your solar generator's manual). There are also USB outlets so you can connect these panels directly to a phone or a phone battery bank. Set up was easy, kickstands worked well. There are even grommets available to hang the panels is that is what you choose. All all, very nice.

I sat this out as pictured and plugged a jump start battery into the USB C port on the solar panel. In under a half an hour it had the battery up 11% to 89% charged. It would go no faster plugged into AC.Although it is hard to see, there is a light that comes on in the power ports. This is nice as you will be sure you are getting power in the position you set it up.I greatly appreciate the two USB A and one USB C ports on the unit. I only needed a cord and I was up and charging as soon as the sun started hitting the panels.The panels do have a bit of weight to them so a long distance carry to use hiking would be possible however it would most likely be more cumbersome than its overall value unless you were going to be away from civilization for more than a day or two. This coupled with a battery like I have hooked to the unit would supply direct power in the day and batteries could be used in the evening.When stored the panels are held firmly together with velcro patches at the bottom. The supports velcro in place for storage which has the added advantage of keeping the supports from flapping loosely when trying to setup or put away. This could also aid in preventing damage to the supports.The panels come with a great supply of adapters. One actually fits a larger jump start battery I have. I will do some more reading before I try to charge it directly from the panels. We are in the market for a solar power station and even if the one we get has solar panels, this may be the route we take and if possible run them in tandem.The pouch that conceals the attached cables and port is large enough to hold the longer cable, adapters and the manual if you so choose to keep it with the panels.We are truly impressed with the panels. I believe they could be used in so many ways. They are definitely giftable especially for any outdoor enthusiast that needs portable power.

I ordered this solar panel because I like to go camping and needed a solid and easily portable panel that could recharge a variety of devices such as small power banks, laptop, phone, GPS receiver, camping lantern, etc. This panel is 200W which produces about a 10A of current. Depending on the season and latitude you're using the panels at, it should be able to produce between 60-100Ah of electricity per day. This makes it a pretty good match for the standard LiFePo4 100Ah batteries that are widely available. Assuming you don't completely discharge them, this solar panel should be able to top them off on a sunny day. Of course it would also work well with most any power bank, or with a combination of devices as I plan to use it.It features several outputs including a standard MC4 10A solar connector for use with a solar charge controller or power bank with built-in solar charge controller. It also has 3 USB ports where you can charge devices and batteries directly from the panel. It has a regular USB-A port, a USB C port, and a port that has the old USB A style plug but in addition to the USB A standard of 5V/3A, it also outputs more current like a USB C port...9V/2A or 15V/1.5A. These 4 outputs should cover most any device you'd need to charge.The solar panel is heavier than I anticipated at nearly 20 lbs but this does give it stability when breezes come along. It features 4 supports on the back that you can use to adjust the angle of the solar panel in the sun. Just unfold it, pop the supports out, and set it up at your preferred angle. Because there are 4 supports to adjust this isn't as easy as I'd prefer. Also, for optimal performance I'd want to adjust the angle a couple times during the day and coordinating the angle on the 4 supports can be tricky. But of course you always have the option of just leaning it up against a couple big rocks or something in camp too.The panel folds up easily and there are a couple magnets on the handle that help it keep closed. These are much weaker magnets than I'd prefer and it doesn't so much hold the handle closed as encourage it to be closed if it's sitting against the wall folded up or something. I really appreciated the variety of cords and connectors included with this panel. Chances are very good it will work with whatever battery or power bank you have.Overall I really like this solar panel and think I'll get a lot of use out of it while camping.

This is a foldable portable 200 Watt solar panel. It is superb! It is perfect for us as we have several solar generators and are trying to match them up with solar panels that will work efficiently. This solar panel is remarkable, it comes with a charger and all of the cables to match up any solar power station that you want or need. The quality is excellent, it has reinforced handles, a double zippered pouch for your cords, two stand up tabs in the back, and it is very portable. It is a bit heavy because I am used to the 100 watt panels. It is waterproof except for the charge controller in the back. I would not leave it out in the rain in any case because I think too much of this product and it's not going to charge in the rain anyway. I am seriously considering getting a clear heavy duty tarp to throw over my solar panels in case of sudden inclement weather. This is mostly because my choice of a solar array consists of portable solar generators and portable solar panels. I am ecstatic to have this excellent solar panel!

This thing is great! It's not a light-weight "toss in your pack & go" kit, but it's a serious "need real power where there is none" kit. Rated 200 Watts, I just planted it on the ground pointing relatively at the sun and saw on my solar power meter 168 Watts being produced. If you know anything about solar panels and the exacting solar angles required to achieve the actual rated power, this isn't bad at all. I literally collect portable panels like this, I have from 12 Watts to 60 Watts, and now this 200 Watt system. You could use this to charge a 20 Ah or 50 Ah battery and run some real loads, or keep your laptop or scientific equipment going for many hours after sundown, or bridge power over cloudy days. Great form factor and comes with cables to connect to a charge controller for charging batteries like LiFePO4, or use the other connectors to provide direct power or charge "solar generators". This unit is glorious. It's pricey, but if you need power in the field - real power - this is a great item to have.

First class product. Like the many connection options

Best value out there for 200 watt panels. Includes cables.

It took me a while to decide on perfect solar panel. There are a lot of choices but nearly every other one was lacking something from of the list of qualities I was looking for.I wanted monocrystalline as opposed to polycrystalline ... (check!)I needed to get as close to 200 watt as I could for my budget ... (check!)I wanted an ETEF coating as I was concerned with windy weather and it getting scratched ... (check!)I wanted an MC-4 connector, which I believe is more water repellant ... (check)I wanted water resistance of at least IP65, this has IP67 ... (double check!)I hoped for magnetic handles to make it less cumbersome to open and close ... (check!)I hoped for USB C port ... (check!)I hoped for additional adapters ... (check)I almost settled for a name brand panel that matched my power bank but it only offered half the wattage for approx the same price and I didn't like fussing with one sided handle they provided and only 3 stands for a 4 panel unit. I know these issues might seem trivial but I'm showing my age lately and with this option I simply didn't have to settle for the omitted things that the other brand should have included for the price they were charging.The cherry on top was the fantastic customer support I received. Can't put a price on that these days.This review is on my own accord. It wasn't a free vine gift or any promotional offer or request. I just spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best products to put together an alternative power source for the upcoming hurricane season and wanted to share my experience. If you've ever had the experience of a cat 4 or 5 hurricane and power outage for nearly 2 weeks, I'm sure you'd understand.Five stars, all the way around. Thank you!Update Oct 12th after hurricane Milton. This really did the job for me. We were fortunate to have clear weather but no power after the storm. This charged my PowerBar up in a decent amount of time. Still five ,Reviewed in the United States on July 5

The panels are efficient and came with an array of adapters. My Jackery 2000 charged in about 4 hours (from 75%)
