SUNGOLDPOWER 10PCS 500 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel UL61730 11BB Grade A Cell,Black,IP68, for 12V/24V/48Vdc RV,Home,Farms,Parking Lot,Marine,on/Off-Grid System(5000W)

As advertised. Not quite 5000 watts but close. 4889 watts in full solar high sun which is 1:42pm here. . Start producing 30 watts just as sun breaks horizon at 6:47 am this time of year. Real solar production starts around 7:20am, as I said... this time of year and breaks around 300 watts. and no yet hitting panels and also, just a few min after sun set still producing 90 watts for a few minutes before dropping to 0. The winter will tell me all so I'm hoping these work well as I only need to make about 1800 watts an hour to stay above battery full level till sunset.

I waited a long time for just the right PV panel to come to market. The Sungold Power 500 watt PV panels checked all my boxes.The panels arrived in a timely manner and very well packaged. When I uncrated them I found they were as described. These panels are large, 44"x84", but weigh just 57lbs each.I have a small 21' travel trailer I live and travel in full-time. I'm primarily off-grid and needed enough PV wattage to keep up with my 48 volt system. Most RVers install multiple smaller (by watt and size) PV panels, but my situation was there wasn't enough room to mount enough solar panels to achieve 1000 watts. That is until I came across these Sungold Power PV panels.I mounted the panels myself using unistruts as the base. It was an uncomplicated installation. The only inconvenient part of this install was that the negative and positive diodes are not situated next to each other. Rather, they are mounted opposite each other and the wires are not very long. This was a minor inconvenience (hence the 4 stars). I wired these panels in series and the output is consistently about 84 volts that feeds a 3000 watt hybrid inverter.I have traveled nearly a thousand miles and am enjoying an off-grid adventure in the middle of nowhere. These panels are performing as described. I'm thrilled with purchase and would highly recommend this product.Update: I found that the panels absorb the heat that would otherwise turn the inside of my trailer into an oven. I've not read this realization from any others. So, I'm delighted to share that a side benefit of roof-mounted panelsis a cooler interior.

Update : after 3 weeks panels arrived by Enterprise truck.3 Star because if the SHIPPING CEVA. very horrible service.2 the connectors are very very short, budget buying extra cables.Now CEVA - They are horrible. It's almost a month, I have not received my solar panels. Every day out for delivery, but never gets delivered.Msg Amazon, worst thing ever, they cancel my order and order a replacement order. Since the original order date, Still don't have my panels.

Gotta say, prettayyyy prettttayyyy goodCame well packaged no damage, works great.They look nice all black too. About the size of a sheet of plywood, similar weight as well.First experience with solar and happy.

These panels have been outstanding thus far. They operate at 85% on a sunny day which is awesome!

I liked the size and wattage of the panels.The price was another reason.I used them for powering my hybrid battery/solar system for house backup.On a sunny day the panels generated 4.5kW of solar input from 5kW of panels. Outstanding!

These are absolutely worth every penny. I bought 10 at first and just purchased an additional 6. I have these working with an EcoFlow system with two inverters both inputting about 4000 watts (8 panels in each array). They look great, work well, and so far are working as expected.

The solar panels are well packaged, and the overall black exterior design looks better, with a strong sense of technology, which goes well with the black roof of my house. In terms of actual performance, the performance of each solar panel varies, but basically all of them are able to maintain an output of around 400-440W, which may be affected by factors such as the angle of the light. All in all, I would buy again when I need to expand my existing system. Looking forward to years of cheap power from these solar panels!
