Thank you
Comment from : @fnk101

For me it looks like the Bluetti was the clear winner overall
Comment from : @christophermorris2635

Very good testing thank you 👍👍👍
Comment from : @MagikBuilder

Great video 👍 I have the ecoflow one and it's freakin heavy
Comment from : @juhs

can't beat renogy
Comment from : @kevinwilde

Very thorough, helpful test Thanks!
Comment from : @joshm3342

What about regular solar panels ?
Comment from : @Not_Sure_

The EENOUR 400W Portable Solar Panels are no longer available
Comment from : @LarryRichelli

Maybe I missed it but I did not see any information on longevity My understanding is solar panels can degrade over time Do you have a comparision of the brands tested on which ones still provide the most output over time?
Comment from : @stanleykasper9309

Great video I would like to see same test on an overcast day
Comment from : @eliinthewolverinestate6729

if you’re setting up portable solar panels, your time is worth nothing so who cares how long it takes
Comment from : @explor794

Thanks for the info I just changed my mind about buying EcoFlow 400-watt panels lol
Comment from : @KeithOutWest

Good job my man, loved your content, learned alot
Comment from : @dutchindoe

It's not just the price that changes all the time, so does the quality Many of these brands don't actually make the cells, they just buy whatever they manage to get the best deal on that week, so even the same model from the same brand can vary quite a bit More established brands are more likely to enforce minimum specs (because they have more to lose), but don't count on it
Comment from : @RFC3514

I actually bought 2 x ALLPOWERS 400W panels But you also need to buy converter cables and extra cables to reach out to your yard, if you want the power bank in your house I also bought a 200W ALLPOWERS, but when we moved I sold that one on Ebay quite easily I have 3 Anker batteries including a 767 with an expansion battery

Haze, looked clear as a bell to me
Comment from : @mahfl22

I'm in Australia and I have had 425w coming out of mine! One happy customer I've only used it a few times
Comment from : @brettschleter8023

Świetny film 👍 w końcu obejrzałem na świecie porównanie tych paneli- przydało by się byś nagrał również przenośnych 1000v,1500,2000
Comment from : @rafalinio0

Nice breakdown of panels Thank you for great info
Comment from : @armourofgod7588

Great video I can't find the link to the results spreadsheet and graphs, nor can I find a new tab in the power stations data page Please help Thanks
Comment from : @JohnBurkhart-q2k

Really wish I'd seen this before buying the Ecoflow 400 panels - not are they just so heavy but that stand makes it so frustrating Total waste of money as I'm buying other panels now which I can actually use The website is so confusing and misleading regarding these
Comment from : @karabroadbent570

VTOMan is becoming a very popular brand Can you work a VTOman 400 watt foldup solar panel kit into your comparison?
Comment from : @brasspolisher2848

As an outsider in the whole solar business it's rather disappointing that not one was able to reach their rated power even as a peak Makes it really hard to not be scammed based on advertised performance So I guess you always have to overshoot your solar goals by almost 40 to actually reach it Very costly and very sad
Comment from : @88Spint

Excellent review, and the spreadsheet with all the data in one easy to see chart is much appreciated
Comment from : @Dang_Near_Fed_Up

Solar panels are crap I bought a 200 watt solar panel from bougrv This piece of crap has never given me more than 108 Watts of input from the Sun They're taking a 100 watt panel calling in a 200 watt panel so they can charge double the price All of these companies do this Something has got to be done If anything you should get more input than the rating I have yet to see a solar panel company put out a panel that gets the solar input it claims I will never buy another solar panel My next purchase will be a gas-powered 2000 Watt generator Solar is a great form of energy but the solar companies are screwing us on the price If people would just quit buying this crap we could get the price to come down
Comment from : @CharlieDontSurf1006

HI, do you have video on solar blankets? thanks
Comment from : @ceciliabryane5894

What were they thinking over at Ecoflow?
Comment from : @kevtop351

What about the VTOMAN 400 watt solar panel?
Comment from : @jameslucas8159

thank you for making this video it helping me decide which pannel to conider buying
Comment from : @DerejeAysheshim-xm8vz

Wish prices and dates were mentioned
Comment from : @sealermantn

Hello how are these panels connected, via high voltage? Does 400W of the 400W actually arrive?
Comment from : @Raubgraeber

This is a spot on review with lots of great information I ended up going with the Anker PS400 and I got it half price on Amazon during the Oct 9-10 sale I also got the Anker SOLIX C1000 with it as a bundle half price
Comment from : @haldent

Just give me a honda 2000 inverter, the only way to charge a battery pack in hours not days😂
Comment from : @nedsackmann2215

Superb scientific experiment - brilliant! Personally the AllPowers with IP67 rating and highest shaded output overall at an amazing price was the clear winner to me
Comment from : @chrisyates399

Thank you This helps a lot Do they modify these units very often? Is an update worthwhile?
Comment from : @simonthebroken9691

Really great content Was going to go with the EcoFlow panel to go with my EcoFlow Delta Pro system but that PITA case/stand is no bueno Bluetti looks solid Very well-made comparison video and not overly technical
Comment from : @adventuresinwoodworking3814

Hi, txs for the fantastic comparison I’m curious about your solar power, can Anker F2000 charge a Tesla 3 ? Thank you
Comment from : @andrelinz7429

Thank you for your detailed testing None of these solar panels will stand the wind I have when I need these panels and all require a DIY external frame to hold them upright in a wind
Comment from : @Keith80027

so is voc end all be all meaning if voc showing 49v can you do 3 in series and rest assured you wont hit > 150v?
Comment from : @MarcusDavis-h8p

Thanks for doing my homework for me :)
Comment from : @JohnDoe-df2zz

Why didnt you include renogy?
Comment from : @jwbrenna

I have two of the Anker PS400 panels with the Anker Solix F3800 power station I plug one each into the xt60 ports on the F3800, but I have yet to see more than 200 watts from each panel I've experimented with angle and direction, but just getting around 200w per panel max How to determine if they are defective, or if its me?
Comment from : @kcvearner

Just a comment on watering the solar panels Not only are the panels being cooled but I believe the water droplets intensify the sun it receives temporarilybrI had a sun shower that last about 35 min and it happened just after 6pm in late September, when there is normally very little production During that sun shower, my solar produced about 15 kwh On a sunny day without rain, it produced about 6 kwh at that same time of day during the few days before and after
Comment from : @frommatorav1

It’s invaluable Can’t thank you enough Bluetti’s sold out, and expensive, even on sale Many are unwieldy Are two 200Ws better, maybe? Connecting to a F2000 is a last question
Comment from : @Maineuser

Bigblue is currently £254 in the prime day event couldn't resist even though it was one of the lower performers the price per watt was lower than some of the budget 200w panels
Comment from : @matthewhobson2157

20c a day is at least a hobby that is net profitable
Comment from : @NickWindham

Great review Perfect information if you need a light and portable panel I prefer the much heavier and way less expensive hard panels Keep in mind that I leave them up for months at a time in extremely windy conditions Keep up the good reviews
Comment from : @joeo7257

The wind would quickly destroy all of the panels surely this is a demo they would have to be really anchor Ed to be practical
Comment from : @ArnoldStafford

Thanks for making this video
Comment from : @TycerGreigh

Thank you for comparing different portable 400W panel brands connected to the Anker Solix F2000 Still going to learn how to calculate solar input ratings
Comment from : @chris-zu6sf

I am super impressed with your video and love the excel work at the end!!!
Comment from : @spdfreakls1

If they give only 307 watts max (normal) why are they called 400 watt panels?
Comment from : @johnjanuary2958

Thanks for doing an in depth, concise, mindful presentation I would lean towards the EEnour panel
Comment from : @nascar427

I've got the Ampura 400w, it has a 3 bracket stands for the 4-panel
Comment from : @brianabarca1048

Thank you!!
Comment from : @firdosvohra4315

You should have set them all up at the same time for accurate power output
Comment from : @brianrunyon6831

The only fair way to test these panels is to do them all simultaneously Solar conditions can fluctuate by a large margin even minute to minute
Comment from : @matthewtaylor3301

what do you think about FLEXSOLAR?
Comment from : @-COBRA

I think price per watt is not eveything What about durability? If it for example degrades one year later The cheapest watt may turn out more expensive in the longrun
Comment from : @-Gunnarsson-

Were all the connections the same or did you have to use any adapters?
Comment from : @GaryHunt-pm6ft

I purchased a delta pro they offer a transport warranty, do I need this
Comment from : @MarlinWhite-i5o

woow, that's very hard work, we appreciate your efforts
Comment from : @abdiqaniahmad

I get it Instead of watering the grass use it to lay solar for sustaining energy
Comment from : @SFCaliofUSA

I think anker is good but price is high I will prefer allpower 600w panel and not 400w to get more wattage for little less money
Comment from : @gagzgugu

The Anker Powerstation and panel together 1800$ seems reasonable I expected way more
Comment from : @Likwidfox

It would be nice to have the hour / time of which panel was tested Definitely the sun moved during all that testing
Comment from : @albertomartin70

I bought the Allpowers 600 watts solar panel I only get mostly around 380 watts in full sun As mentioned here durability is very poor Allpowers customer service is bad They will ask you to send videos but in the end they dont back their warranty and product So I now call Allpowers to Lo-POWa
Comment from : @mariojalata5259

Can I use a thunderbult 100w with a 521 anker battery I just don't get it
Comment from : @wextremeart4399

I have the ALLPOWERS and I got it for 340€ so about 350$ it's hands down the best foldable solar panel, it is super robust, I have tested in all conditions and I'm getting more power than in this test (330-350W not cooled)
Comment from : @Turbo999be

I have the anker 2000 with one 200 watt panel My ? is can it be used with any one of the 400 watt panels with that adapter that come with it It can accept 1000watt so that would be a total of 600 if can be done
Comment from : @bernieluczka

Awesome video!! Question: Can I plug those straight from MC4 at the panel and bare wire at my inverter?brI have a 24v / 3000 w PowMr inverter I only use for power failures It has two pv input screw terminals
Comment from : @GmanfromTexas

I have 3 Ecoflow 400W panels I live in Hawaii It is summertime and on a clear day at peak sunI get roughly 265w out of each panel I will try cooling them down with water to see if that helps but I have been very diappointed in them
Comment from : @aconcernedcitizen2991

I got the Anker 400 when I got my Anker c1000 power station Just looking to add another panel since I can take up to 600 watts an wanted to see other options
Comment from : @Elflaco909

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
Comment from : @dru24334

we just hung the all powers 400w suitcase on a fence it gets clear sun all day long here in the high desert in NM so why are we only getting 217 and when i hose it down 275 has been the highest What cannI do to get over 300 ?
Comment from : @gailalbers1430

As far as amperage goes it appeard the panel produces A/C voltage as DC voltage is measured in-line
Comment from : @edgrogan2618

I noticed another tester of solar panels found panels even from the same company had different performance results
Comment from : @rexwine

Hi I have 2x 400 all powers I brought mine on eBay direct from all powers had great discount from them plus eBay was doing £75 off so got mine for £220 each so was a great deal and I use it on a jackery… 1500 proand I can’t complain
Comment from : @paultalbot123

What about a bunch of harbor freight panels together?
Comment from : @BrettsGarage

Great comparison, thank you
Comment from : @TheMonkeOn

what brand would you say won overall adding all factors in?
Comment from : @begoodamerica9793

Great test and table, Thanks! brCan you connect a 200W Anker Panel with an 420W Bluetti Panelle to the PowerHouse 767 via the adapter?
Comment from : @MrKreqq

Would love to see a 1 year comparuisn as well
Comment from : @TIB1973

I would not call your day hazy They all should be held to task regarding wattage claims
Comment from : @sleddy01

Probably the best review from portable solar panels I ever seen
Comment from : @DroneSurf

I’m really confused by the conclusion Seems like Ecoflow is the best given that it’s (1) produced nearly the most energy of all the panels, (2) is over $100 cheaper than Anker, (3) is the third cheapest per watt, (4) is backed by an excellent warranty and is just as good if not better than the completion
Comment from : @MrLocke-bk3om

Blah It would be nice if the Bluetti was in stock right now :
Comment from : @KellicTiger

What a great job man ! Just what I’ve been looking for!
Comment from : @rant-n-rave7816

Now do the small 60 watt portable panels for the little inverters
Comment from : @trevorm7013

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!brGreat Video!!!!
