Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panels

This solar panels kit was bigger and heavier than I expected, even after looking at the dimensions in the product details, and it being so big it is a challenge to unravel out into a line. The supports don't have a cross brace so the panels themselves bow quite badly. I set it up for testing in a sheltered area with no wind and it was still a challenge to ge the line of panels to hold position without one or more of the kickstands folding back in and collapsing.

Worked very well in full sun, quite heavy so best for vehicle camping.

Firstly - I don't normally mention packaging in reviews; but when buying something of this size/value I think it's always a consideration - will it arrive intact?! I'm very pleased to open this and see it's double-boxed, with good, thick card boxing, and has foam pieces inside also, so it's well protected in transit.

The only real problem is the struts as they are not designed to hold the panels up in moderate wind so placement is key. Best against the van so they have extra support rather than in open space as they do blow over. Cables tuck away neatly too.

These panels are heavy - but given the size it is to be expected. Taking care when folding them and setting the supports out makes life easier and after some practice it can be done single handed. They also have worked well for me seeing impressive input to my solar charger.
