    I thought this panel came with other connectors?

    It could be the MPPT controller on the different units. The Bluetti's are known to have one of the best controllers on the market. So I can understand why it does a better job of squeezing the most amount of watts out of the solar panels. Do you know the open circuit voltage and Amps from the solar panels?

    WAY too short and long. I'm definitely going with Renogy suitcase panels instead.

    Well done Julian best no nonsense review I have seen so far.

    great video – helped answer my question of max input of the small unit

    Ignoring the ethics of is it sponsored or not, I saw what seemed to be a fair and unbiased test with measured figures. It's a shame that you didn't have a decent mppt charge controller and battery instead of the poor solar charge ability of the battery packs.

    These are an odd product to me because of the size and price Vs performance compared to a normal glass panel. I suppose if you have a battery pack for your vehicle but no space for a glass panel it's useful. But then I still don't see the draw of the battery packs either. High cost and badly limited charging ability on seemingly all of them.

    Anyhoo, cheers for the vid 🙂👍

    They are not measures of power from the panel, that are a measure of power delivered to the battery. Yes, they can be different/ The difference is due to the MPPT chosen.

    hi, can the Poweroak SB150 be used to power devices while being charged from solar panels? I can't seem to find reference to being able or not to simultaneously powering and being charged. Thanks

    Friend of mine just got some panels. Comparing price/watt at $400 US per panel, they were cheaper than most options available. Nothing special, I don't remember the exact model of his panels but they were just modern Panasonic brand. Rather large in size but damn the output per dollar make them cheaper than harbor freight crap. Know what you are buying folks…..

    No giveaway? bad luck for us .. .. :-(( You could do one away, right? ? ?

    I'm sure this isn't the first time anyone's said this, but you look absolutely nothing like you sound..
