I have set this solar panel behind a skylight window in my attic and connected it to a deep cycle battery in my basement. Everything has been working fine, but the solar panel doesn’t have the wattage to do a complete recharge in 1 day. This was a good starter project to learn about creating a solar generator for a small investment. The panel is producing 18 watts as stated. 11/23/07 update: This panel is still working, but I was noticing discharge on the battery after the charge indicator went off, I did research and found even though the connected devices were either turned off or not pluged in a drain could occur and the recommended solution was to add a switch. I used an electric switch for my solution. Now I have changed the hookup of all devices connected except for the controller to be attached via one connection which has a switch on the positive wire, by using the switch to shut off the attach devices I have impoved the charging of the battery. Since changing the configuration this setup has gotten better and I have achived a max charge via the charge controller indicator lights, 14.2 volts.

Very very good panel I am new to solar energy but i am using this panel for almost a month and it is working good. I am using it to charge a 1000 amp deep cycle battery. It is not much to charge such a battery if i were to really use the battery regularly but for now it is a backup system. I however purchased 3 more of these to charge my battery so i can use it more.
5 Stars Coleman 18 Watt Solar Panel
It performs as advertised. It came when they said it would come and worked flawlesly. It is best to lay it flat outside to get direct sun. It has been outside in a storm and came through fine. I also like the pretty blue indicator light on it that shows that it is working.
2 Stars It stopped charging
After a few weeks, the blue light on the unit showing that it was producing power was out and the battery that was attached through a controller wasn’t being charged. I didn’t mount it or moved it around. I ordered a replacement but it is weeks away from arriving. I guess Amazon wants it to deliver after the 30 day return policy expires.

The SE-4000 Sunsei solar 65-Watt 16.5-Volt charger is a powerful solar panel, providing reliable, renewable energy as an alternative to noisy and expensive diesel, propane and gas generators. It replaces the daily power consumption of 12-Volt lighting systems and appliances. The weatherproof solar charger provides immediate trickle-charge when exposed to daylight, even on cloudy days. It is ideal for use in your boat, cabin or RV and it can also be used for charging small backup power systems; this unit charges multiple batteries at once and works with your vehicle or cabin’s electrical system. Its “Plug-n-Play” features allows connection of multiple panels in seconds without tools or rewiring and its blinking indicator shows when the panel is charging. This weatherproof solar panel features an aerodynamic design specially engineered to reduce drag and withstand high-vibration in mobile applications. It comes with connector wires and 4-mounting brackets. This solar panel requires a charge controller (Sunsei model No.CC10000, CC25000 or CC2000D) which is sold separately. This unit is 32-Inch by 28.3-Inch by 1.4-Inch in size and weighs 15-Pound. It is covered by a 20-year warranty. This is the perfect size panel as the core of a mini home or mobile solar system! About as heavy as a couple of laptops, this panel puts out enough power to charge larger batteries or run small DC appliances and AC inverters
