4 Stars Solar Generator
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.

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.

4 Stars THIS IS A MISPRINT !! ACTUALLY MORE WATTS
This Coleman unit is rated at 600ma and a total power of 9 Watts. Buyers will be pleasantly surprised. The fair price for weatherproof solar panels is $10/watt…so this one qualifies although has been discontinued. My lack of a full five stars is because Coleman seems to overrate their panels by about 20%…or else they take it down to the equator to measure the power.

The unit is more or less what I expected and appears to be working well for my application as a trickle charger for my deep-cycle marine battery operating an ornamental iorn entry gate. This unit DOES NOT work with the Sunsei Solar Grip bracket which is listed as working with the Coleman Solar Panels (both are ICP Solar products); the bracket extexsions are not long enough. I was able to frabricate a simple clamp for the panel which did work with the bracket however.
