If panels are only used for 1 week a year....it's a 3 week review lol

The rated power is if you're on the equator in the middle of the day with the sun directly above and the panels flat on the ground.

i have four of the 300 watt veson for camping and other misc. about three years ago i bought three of them and did some tests. i found that with the best sun, the best angle, and the best temps using my mppt controller, not that one that comes with it, i could get a max of 225watts. its still worth it.

as a test, i also rewired one of them so instead of 20ocv x 17amp, it was 80ocv x 4.25. since i was usng 100foot solar rated 10 awg wire, since i was using good wire it didnt matter much maybe gained about 5%, but i really dont remember.

oh and i left one in my back yard as a test, i wasnt even using it, it was just laying flat not plugged in and its performance dropped significantly, i think one of the found panels failed completly on top of other degradation.

despite not outputing their claimed spec, its still kinda worth it if you only use them for emergencies imo. all these non glass panels just dont last, hopefully that will change one day

Informative video, thanks for your time.

thinking of one cheap panel close to 100 real watts/// looking for the 160w one for my delta 2 to have spare when car is turned off... .
. will it last ?
or make a rigid 3x 50 watts aluminium my self.. cost is the same and goes to 30 volts . a bit heavier but bulletproof!!!

I would like a brand that simply divulges the truth about the power of its panels.

What kind of batteries are you using? What kind of appliances are you using?

Tanks for great review. Did it really get that faded after just about three weeks in sun? And does it seem it could effekt the material in to a failure if it were used for example four four or eight weeks a year?

[vadadofthr]

Do you have a video or a report on the renogy also? Dont see one in your videos. Would be nice to know for comparison to the dokio how they perform.

14.1V seem too low. What is the voltage/amps when solar panel is connected to MPPT controller with short cable? I am guessing that low voltage could be because of 100 foot cable.

Jeah these Dokio Panels are the last shit on earth. My 100W had never more than 50W output. Throwed it in the bin. My new Ecoflow 160w did 135w on flat ground in the first run....
So Dokio sucks...

It’s a 3 week review! Not a 3 year review! Some click bait going on here 👎🏻

Cant really give a review on a week a year ffs
