Finally someone made a video comparison of the 400 portables. Thank you!

Probably the best review from portable solar panels I ever seen.

[lloydprunier]

Thanks! I wish I had seen this before I ordered the Ecoflow panels. Also found out the cables don't come with them and had to order twice to get the cables with the XT60I connector. Sure a lot to be desired in advertising and sales sites from them. The charge cables are only shown and have a price listed. When you order them they then put P/N on the invoice and no description except cables. Customer support told me I ordered the plain XT60 connection and I could order the other one. Really a lot of support! I like others think the cables should come with the panels for the price they are charging (no pun intended) live and learn.

I have the 400 watt EcoFlow panel. I agree the stand is worthless. But it’s pretty easy to set them up by leaning the panel against two aluminum lawn chairs. That’s what I do now and it works well.

Thank you for taking the time to do this

I have 2x 200W Eenour panels, and combined I see around the same 330W peak. I use them to charge my P2001. An interesting thing about the 200W model is 18V/36V (19.5V/39V on the new version) switchable voltage, for use in series. The older version also has USB A(18W) and C(60W) ports.

GREAT, GREAT, comparison video. As always looking at your channel always insures that when I make a purchase of anything solar related it is always an informed decision. Great job!

what I found messing with these is the Ease of setting them up factors in when we are almost all near a comparable level.. I find myself just laying them flat alot or propped up against the vehicle.. being lazy.. vs chasing watts.. I have the ecoflow units. but that was an uneducated purchase back when.. however they are heavy for sure as you say.. thank you.. this is good info.. there is 2 or 3 top tier ports Durability is also a factor, for repeated use.. then the question of 400 vs 2x200 or 220BF..etc comes into play.. I actually choose to carry 2x220BFs with me most of the time in the MH with 8000 WH battery. fwiw.. thank you again.. excellent reviews.. Your reviews have saved me alot of money..

Love your in depth analysis! Glad to see both folded and deployed dimensions, as well as your evaluation of the kick stands.

It might be subjective, but I would also like to find out how susceptible the panels are to being blown around by the wind, or how easily they could be anchored down to prevent damage from happening.

Thanks for your thorough evaluation!

I have the Bluetti 420 and it's worked well. I routinely get over 420 watts at solar noon. My complaint with it is the kickstands only go as low as 35 degrees tilt and in Michigan in the summer I need 18 degrees. That being said I built a PVC frame with adjustable legs to support it. Frame comes apart for easy transport.

Nice review. I got the Bluetti PV420 when they 1st came out. Haven't used them much, as I got them for use in my 5th wheel and as a backup power supply (I also bought the AC500 with 2 batteries). Figured I could use the AC500 in UPS mode at my house and then take the setup with me when I'm in the 5th wheel. It was refreshing to see the Bluetti did as well as it did, and I got it at a pre release price so even better.

[JayRSwan]

These reviews are so great! I have a 10amp max rating so seeing what panel puts out the most at 10 amps. Ecoflow looks to win for this.

[OnusBones]

Nice one. I'm not in the market, having shot my load on the first new vehicle in ten years, but some of these look nice. If I were buying, I would consider some trust issues as well, and would probably choose Anker or Bluetti, with Allpowers in the basement. That Ecoflow looked like a chore to set up.

[dannydivine]

Excellent comparison video, I really hate that these are all so darn expensive, but they definitely would travel well and setup quick compared with less expensive conventional ridged panels!
Great Video!!!!

[patrickwong]

Thankyou for the video .. exactly what I needed to see .. the Anker is expensive but it is my choice ..

i found putting the ecoflow case down below the panel is slightly better setup than having it hang from the edge of the bag, slightly above the panel. doing in grass makes it more possible to get a flatter setup rather than using the bottom clips of the case.

[greensavant]

1) I have the Eco Flow 110w which uses the case for the stand also, and agree with you 100%...AWKWARD!
2) I was really hoping to see the Montek 400w panel in here. As I noted in a previous comment, it is only 20 pounds. I had contacted the CEO, Monte, and sent him your last review. He said he would contact you, but thought that 2pcs of his 200W foldable panels would be better (more sturdy), and they are 11.5lbs each. Hoping for next time.

[twloughlin]

Amazingly thorough - thank you. I'm not in the market, but the Eenour would be my choice if I were. One variable I think would have been hard to account for would have been the angle of the panels. They all looked pretty even, so we'll call it good 😁

I appreciate you busting your ass doing this review in the heat

Reading through some tests on overlanding websites were hilarious. The money they were willing to spend on substandard panels. I tested two Newpowa 100 watt, $100 flexible panels in series and they at times put out OVER 200 watts.
