Topsolar 100W 12V Solar Panel Trickle Charger Battery Maintainer Kits

I bought this panel to charge my Jackery 500. The Jackery 100 w SolarSaga panel is $300. This panel was only $75. Do the math. Granted, the SolarSaga folds in half to 22″ x 24″ and that is great if you are short on space, but if you have the room and want to save yourself about $225, then get an aftermarket panel. Btw…the image of this product is misleading. The actual product is not as “square” as this image depicts, but in fact the product is more rectangular in shape (22″ x 46 1/2″). I have had more expensive panels, meaning $110-$130 panels, and this $75 panel seems to work just as well. Granted, the more expensive panels seem to have better workmanship. I think you are getting what you pay for as far as “looks” are concerned, but as far as functionality, again, it seems to work just as well as it’s more expensive brethren. Obviously, you should check your specs beforehand…I settled on this panel because the specs were the closest to the Jackery SolarSaga, which apparently didn’t need to by, but helped to settle my own piece of mind. Also, you will only get about 50-70w, not a full 100w, of solar for the Jackery 500 anyway, so the quality of diminishing returns is not a factor here. If I were going to use these panels full time, meaning on a daily basis, I would probably opt for the Renogy panels, which seem to be the go-to panels. But since I am only using these once in a great while, this $75 panel is a fantastic buy.

This is a solid, well-made product, and a very good value for the dollars spent. I bought this and another 100w panel from Harbor Freight to provide backup power for my Civil W
Air Patrol’s communications room. HF usually has very competitive prices for decent products. But in this case, Amazon beat them silly.

I ordered this panel to install on my camper to keep the batteries charged so I didn’t have to run my generator. They worked perfectly!

I had one problem with one the mounting brackets missing but didn’t downgrade my review because the shipping box was torn open on one end and I think it was lost during shipping.

Not great- the solar controller doesn’t work at all- it doesn’t charge the battery and The load side cuts out after just a few minutes. I bought a new controller from another manufacturer and it all works fine. The solar panel it’s self works well but not much good if the controller doesn’t work! Contacted the supplier but they have not replied to me.

Definitely do not recommend, cheap and to expensive for what you get
