– Mesuvida 60W Portable Solar Panels with PD3.0 PD45W USB-C QC3.0 USB-A 18V DC MC4 Outputs Foldable Solar Panel for Camping RV Trip Fast Charging for Small Power Station Generator Cell Phone Power Bank

I'm new to all this equipment to capture solar energy, and purchased 2 portable power stations that charge up via mc4 and this solar panel. Chose the 60W due to it's compact size, so takes up less storage room, and the fact that it has mc4. The solar panel was delivered yesterday, but due to the weather I wasn't able to test it out until today. The sun today has been intermittent and kept disappearing behind the clouds. When the sun did pop out, my power station registered highest at 52 and fluctuated at various levels all the way down to zero when the sun went behind the clouds. For the short time that the solar panel was in operation, my power station increased by 4% so I thought that was respectable Tomorrow is supposed to be better weather, so I will test the solar panel for a longer period. I've no idea how to obtain multimeter readings etc., but maybe in time I will. An ideal place in my garden for the solar panel is to hang it from the washing line in landscape orientation. However, when I tried this using a carabiner in the two top corners, the solar panel kept folding inwards, so I had to place it on the lawn. Will have to see if I can think of how I can securely fasten each corner of the solar panel onto the washing line. For the test today, I only attached the short mc4 cable that was supplied with my power station. Will be interesting to see what power the solar panel will generate using the longer mc4 cable that I have........this will save me having to carry the heaviest power station in and out of the house. Very pleased with the compact dinky size and the light weight of the solar panel. Appears to be well made and good value. Very happy so far with my purchase.

In strong sunshine, this panel really pumps out the power, charging multiple items at once. In cloudy conditions it still generates, but don't expect anything rapid. On a cloudy day, it took my 27000mah battery from 76% to 100% in about 5 hours. I was away from the tent much of time so can't be sure of exactly how long it took. It kept 4 iPhones and an Amazon tablet fully powered for over 4 nights camping. Good points: the pouch on the back, which houses the power regulator, is big enough to hold cables and small battery packs. This means you can leave it with no trailing cables while charging, and it's very quick to pick up move round as the sun's direction changes. My battery back does not take a fast charge and doesn't get hot on charging; a faster charging pack may get too hot for this confined space. Folds up nicely for transporting. Cons: having the power regulator fixed to the unit means lots of cables trailing into the tent (if the devices can't go in the pouch). It also means there is a greater risk to the electronics getting wet: while shielded behind the panel, the electronics are only in a zipped pouch. It survived light rain without issue. Strong gusts of wind can blow it over.

Works perfectly

Pleased to report that the solar panel actually works really well. Had previously bought a 30w panel(not from this seller), which was dreadful. Definitely recommended

It does what I brought it for, brought it to charge my phone / run my laptop and keep my power station charged up

I am doing experiment of various portable solar panels for different purpose. This one works very well and is really versatile. Even the producer recommends not to use it behind glass, I test it anyway and see that it still working effectively, charging my power station. It is quite easy to carry around, adjust the angle to face the sun. It has all the connectors one need to device charging and power station. I am really satisfied.

TLDR: it’s a great product so long as it doesn’t arrive damaged. I bought the 60W version (the more expensive version). It came well packaged and feels like a quality product. Sadly after opening it up there were two scratches, one on each panel. Solar panels can be sensitive to this kind of thing so I obviously wasn’t happy. I tried to get in touch with the company before leaving this review but unfortunately they insist I deal with Amazon. Amazon gave me very basic options to resolve the issue “return it or don’t”. The thing is I’d have been happy with a partial refund or a replacement at the same time the original panel is collected. Well, not an option. Amazon doesn’t care about the customer, sadly this company has shown it doesn’t either by leaving it to Amazon. Would not buy from this company again, which actually was the plan as the panels can be linked.

I purchased the Mesuvida 60 watt solar panel in Oct.24 and wasn't expecting too much but it's exceeded my expectations. I only charge one item at a time and from behind my living room window so obviously it's behind glass but it still charges everything I need from small items like my watches and phone up to my Jackery 240.

Looks and feels like a quality item, only tried the QC 3.0 USB-c so far but that delivers what is promised in the description.
