I’ll start with the conclusion first so that you don’t have to read the whole review. I like the panel, I’m glad I bought it, and I would buy it again.
About 2 years ago I bought a Yeti 400 lithium and a nomad 20 to use primarily for camping, and as a home emergency power supply.
Last year, during a week long camping trip, this setup worked great, the 20 watt panel producing enough power to keep the battery charged for camp lighting, cellphones and the odd toys, like drones and rc airplanes.
During a week long power outage last year, I used the battery to watch the evening News, and to recharge lights and things, and with the 20 watt panel I was loosing about 10-20 % battery charge per day. So I decided to upgrade to the 100 watt panel.
I ran the battery down to 40%, and plugged in the panel just after sunrise. One interesting thing was the time to full charge indicator on the battery wasn’t even close! At noon, I saw the panel producing between 70 to 75 watts, which is pretty good considering I don’t live in a laboratory.
In the end, the panel charged the battery to 99% in about 5 hours of full March sunshine up near the Canadian boarder.

Der Artikel ist viel zu teuer. Das ist wohl doch unseriös.

This panel rocks! The most I’ve seen it output is 64w, but I haven’t paid much attention, yet. I like it’s foldability. Weight is nice also.

I wasn’t expecting a pre-owned set of panels to come in such great condition, especially considering the state the box was in after shipping. Yet I opened it up to find a nearly flawless set of panels for $100 under the MSRP. Likerally took 20 mins in direct sun to charce my Yeti 200 power bank from 90 to 100%. Goal Zero is also a reliable brand in my exp. I have a first gen Nomad that’s over a decade old, Its been sun bleached light grey, survived rain and dust storms, and even been run over by a 4×4 yet still works well enough to charge my phone as fast as the newest models I read about in other reviews. I could not be happier or more willing to recommend a product or seller.

It does what it promises. However, at such a premium price, one would expect premium features.
For instance, there is no carrying handle. Not a big deal, but a handle is a very nice convenience.
Competing models have a built in stand. Usually nothing fancy, just something to hold the panel at a good angle for catching the sun. With the Nomad 100, you can use a bucket, a boulder. or something else to prop it up.
Competing models have both USB-A and 45W USB-C outputs. Strictly speaking these really aren’t necessary, however with a 45W USB-C output, you don’t need any else in order to charge your laptop.
Competing models are half the price, and rated for 120W. As real world conditions generally result in at most 65% of the rated output (assuming you have found something to prop up the panel to the ideal angle), the extra 20% is nice.
Competeing models have water resistant pouches on the back, the Nomad 100 has net pouches. The water resistant pouches are nice if there is a light rain.
It’s not that the Nomad 100 is a bad choice. It’s actually a fine choice. It’s just that at a price that’s double what some competitors charge, you expect the convienince features that the lower priced options provide.

Sehen wirklich schön aus aber mehr gutes fällt mir leider nix dazu ein
Der scc ist meine Meinung nach zu niedrig und zu schwer und zu teuer
Und ich kann mir gut vorstellen das der Dreck oder Staub auch dran hängen bleibt
Da gibt’s was besseres etwas billige, leichter, ip7, und mehr Power
Sorry goal zero

It is an official Goal Zero product!!! That says high quality, rugged, sturdy, intelligently designed, reasonably priced and the most current and up to date technology available!
I own the Sherpa100 System as well as a couple of the original Extreme150 watt, (3) Guide 10 Solar Systems. And (2)Boulder 30 solar panels, (4) Rockout speakers and a Torch 250. And about all the lights, gadgets and accessories that Goal Zero sells. I have been a happy Goal Zero customer for years and never had a problem with the products. I bought the Nomad 100 solar panels for camping as they are compact and easy to pack and carry and are super powerful for the size.

Easy to transport and deploy, the Nomad 100 makes it easy to keep my solar battery charged and performing for extended periods. The ease of use makes extended camping powered by my solar battery a reality without great expense or effort. Thanks Goal Zero for exceeding my expectations.

Eigentlich zu teuer, selbst für die unbestritten gute Qualität der Goal Zero Produkte.
Das Panel hat einen proprietären Stecker und das Anschlusskabel ist recht kurz. Verlängerungskabel sind jedoch erhältlich.
Ich habe das Panel im Warehouse für einen moderaten Preis erstanden.
Die Verpackung war vorher geöffnet worden und wieder neu verpackt. Das Produkt jedoch war unbenutzt, sogar die Schutzfolie war noch auf den Panels.
Getestet im Dezember gegen 10:00. Bringt bei tief stehender Sonne im Dezember noch 15-20 Watt.
Das ist, unter solchen suboptimalen Bedingungen, ein sehr guter Wert, meiner Meinung nach, selbst wenn das Panel als 100 Watt Panel ausgewiesen ist.

Utilisé pour un camping car sur le toit ou a travers le pare-brise. Recharge en quelques heures a 100% la batterie sherpa 100 lithium. Permet par exemple de mettre le cc a l’ombre et le chargeur + batterie au soleil a côté d’une table etc… En total autonomie pour une tablette un tel une lampe etc…

On average, on a sunny day in Colorado, with the panels facing the sun as accurately as you can, you are unlikely to see your battery receiving more than 50-55 Watts. I’m usually in the mid-30s in fact.
When you read the manual (which is clearly and honestly written) they clearly indicate that the 100 Watt rating is from a very controlled, laboratory environment, you will get less. You’d never guess THIS much less AND, the marketing team would have been much more customer-oriented to then name the product “Nomad 50” because it is a VERY steep price to get these solar cells AND the battery you need once you realize you will be lucky to get even half of what they promise. I would NOT have paid for it.
That being said, I suspect (don’t know), that other suppliers do something similar. If you, like me, want the ability to get solar energy off-grid… and you don’t want anything larger than these panels, then I’d like to think that the efficiency of other suppliers panels aren’t any better. Just wish I knew that for sure. This is very inappropriately advertised as 100 Watts.

Awesome piece of equipment. I bought this model because it is rugged, foldable and easily transportable on your camping trips. Charges around 60 watts with full CA sunlight, not bad at all for solar.
