ACOPOWER HY010-12M Mono Solar Panel for 12V Battery Charging RV Boat, Off Grid, 10W

This 10W panel does indeed produce 10 Watts in full sun. Produces about 200mA in weak morning sun. Wires are a bit short. No mounting bracket is included. There is a blocking diode installed inside the small black cover. Works well with my small charge controller. Good value at $18. -Chris

Longer version: First; the diode all the other reviewers are debating. No it doesn't have one and that's a good thing. While you certainly can, you really shouldn't be just connecting this to a battery. You should be using a purpose-selected charge controller of a minimal quality that it will almost certainly have it's own. If you're wondering, why not have both; The reason is that each diode drops your voltage by .6 volts. It doesn't sound like a lot but if you're using this in an area that doesn't get a lot of sun, it can make a difference. In my use, I had a seldom used car whose battery died a lot. I combined this with a DIY MPPT controller, purchased here on Amazon for about $13. Also, since the cigarette lighter port on my car only connected when the car was on, I connected to the battery via an “Add a circuit” fuse tap, also purchased here on Amazon for about $7. At first, it didn't work because I had placed it on my dashboard in a way that slanted slightly away from the sun. Once I tiled it as directly at the sun as I could, it worked perfectly.

This panel is very well made. I use it with a "Battery Tender 5-45W Automatic Solar Controller" to keep my vehicle battery charged for it sits for long period of time and it keeps my starter battery fully charged.

Well built, quality product. Buy the mounting hardware though. Almost impossible to mount without special adapters. A 20 minute job turned into 8 hours because of how they place the mounting holes!!!

Have this hooked up to Renogy 10 amp charge controller and LiFePO4 battery to power a cellular game camera. Works perfect and keeps the battery fully charged

I own an iron shop and one of our product lines is the fab. & installation of automatic gate systems with solar panels to charge the batteries. $30 for a 10W panel is an amazing deal. I definitely recommend this product. It does not come with a bracket but I attached a photo of the bracket we made for this installation for reference.

Having no experience in ordering this type of stuff.I wish we would have known,all we have to buy to go with it,to make it functional.

I purchased the 10 watt solar panel, so I could run a small vent fan in my shed, and it works perfectly. Great price for a high quality solar panel.

works like charm great quality for the money

My order came very fast and we installed it on our sailboat to charge the battery. Amazingly it was easy to install and it started to charge right away.

Working great, will report back next season on its condition after leaving it outdoor. Was able to get 1.2A of charge current into a 18650 at Vmpp 17.5V at the input. When shaded, it dropped to 100-120mA, still very usable.
