I’ve been looking for one to use on the Bimini of my inflatable kayak to run my electric motor. Thanks Mark

If I ever converted my classic 66 beetle to electric, a smaller panel like that would be something I would consider putting on the top of my car. I could definitely see using this on a tear drop trailer. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

Good review and information Mark, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

Best panel out there Mark! Im sure it will meet your needs👍

Pretty snazzy. That would be an awesome idea for boats too.
I don’t know why solar panels for portable devices aren’t always at least highly resistant to rain. I mean it’s something you always leave outside for extended periods and may not be around to easily put it away in case it rains.

Right on Mark, That should work pretty good for you. Thanks for sharing!

G'day Mark, well it certainly addresses the ingress protection issue, which is the highest priority IMO.
However, I dont see why they coundn't do the same as a rigid flat panel version.
As is, I'm think'n tied to a tent, perhaps tarp or gazebo, roof, with a favorable orientation. Though in fairness, on a vehicle, one could easily adjust the aspect at will.
I wonder if it increases or decreases the temp underneath ? i.e. on the one hand it's black and meant to absorb, but on the other, it would inherently shade whatever surface its attached to. Cheers Duke.

I have the Anker C1000 also and have considered the Yuma CIGS. It’s an amazing panel;however, its open circuit voltage (VOC) is 30.4 +/- 5%. The C1000 has a max of 60V on the charge controller so wiring 2 of these in series exceeds the 60V limitation and could cause damage. I can’t seem to find a workable combination to use more than a single panel.

Mark, I bought my Yuma last October, after I watched a video in which the man started by firing five 9mm shots through the panel. He then proceeded to test (and further abuse) the panel. To test it, I hung my panel from the railing on my deck, facing south. even with the non-ideal alignment with the sun, I was getting just over 160 watts into my Ecoflow Delta 2. For camping, I tied the panel (grommet type) on the roof of may trailer and ran the cable inside to charge the unit. It worked beautifully.

Would it work with your panel to cut two pieces of acrylic or polycarbonate, say 3mm thick, to match the two end peal-and-stick sections, plus 3/4" past each side, and stick them to the ends? You could drill holes in the parts that extend past the panel to add cords or bungees to attach it to your vehicle. This would still allow you to roll up the panel. I made a fabric bag to hold mine when it's not in use.

Hi Mark, are you still drinking chaga, birch polypore, artist conk, turkey tails as a mix? Have you noticed anything with regards to health benefits?
