## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you please verify that you have panels with these dimensions? I ordered 4 and got 26x36. Sent back. Would reorder with verification.**
A: I know this is a older post but after looking some people may not realize this company has at least 3 different models of 100w solar panels on Amazon and they are different shapes,sizes. So be sure to check the size on the one you order.
Also looks like questions,answers and reviews are all mixed, joined from the different panels, not just for this one. 
I don't know why Amazon does this because it's very confusing

**Q: Which is correct Title says 12V,  but description and data indicate 24.6 Voc .**
A: 24.6 volts open circuit nothing connected to it. your charge controller will level it out to a usable voltage

**Q: can you connect the panel to a marine battery or do you need to go through a regulator?**
A: Power should go through a charge controller. In full sun, my panel generated nearly 20 vDC.  A 12v battery probably wouldn’t like that. Optimal ‘charge’ voltage for 12v batteries is closer to 14v.

**Q: Can I run two of these solar panels together in series to charge a 24 volt battery?**
A: You would do best with an MPPT charger and at least 3 12-volt solar panels for a 24-volt battery. An MPPT charger takes a higher voltage and down-converts it to the needed battery voltage. In bright noonday sun...the amperage to the batteries is higher than in early/late day or cloudy skies--but you can still get off-peak power to the batteries. The more solar panels you use (up to the max input voltage of your MPPT charger), the more power you'll get from marginal conditions. I use 4 12V panels in my 24V MPPT system.

UPDATE: First purchase was 11/22/24: Today is 01/06/25: I've been using two of these panels for about 4-6 weeks. Normally, they keep my Acemo topped off, but the last two days were cloudy, and I discovered this morning that I had a bad wire connecting to the panels. It is currently 4:30PM and the sun is well over the other side of the apartment leaving the panels in the shade pointed away from the sun. You can see the reflection of the sun in the clouds. If I backed up, the sun would be just below the clouds on the right. Even in the shade, the two panels are charging the Acemo at 25 watts, now that I replaced the wires. I often get 30-35 watts in the shade, but I'm not getting much reflection today. During the morning when the sun is shining on the panels, I get up to 135-140 watts. When I mount them on the roof below them, they will get more light while the sun is overhead, and during the summer, they will get a whole lot more sun, for several more hours a day. The online calculator for this area says the best I can hope for is 60-65% of the panel's ratings, so 50% is the most I had hoped for and I'm over that mark. I currently only power a few things on the Acemo to keep it exercised. It's primary purpose is to provide power when the grid goes down. With 4 panels, I hope to remove my computer station and lights entirely from the grid. I have them, I may as well use them. My original plan was to hinge two of these panels together for a portable array, but they are really too heavy to port around easily, so I'm going to leave them mounted to the low roof and power my apartment as much as they can. I've seen complaints that someone received different panels when he ordered at different times. I ordered one single, later one pair, and most recently, one more single. I can't tell the difference between any of the panels. so I have not had that issue. The input to my Acemo is just shy of allowing me to use two panels in series. That's ashamed, because I would love to pair them up instead of running all of them parallel. The bathroom scale says that each panel weighs 14.4 pounds. Original Review: I now have 3 of these panels. The first one is in the window and the two new ones are #1 and #2 in the first picture. I was getting 83 watts of charging into my power station compared to 30 watts from 50w panel #3 and 70w from 100w panel #4. They weigh 14.2 pounds by my scale, but the other panels did not reach the minimum measurable weight on my personal scale. The two yard sticks are in the pictures for anyone wanting to compare sizes. For this time of year, 83w is about the most one would expect to get at this latitude this time of year. It probably helps a bit that the temperature outside was only 32 degrees when I got that reading. The wall you see the panel laying against is facing east. In the afternoon to evening, it is in the shade. During mid-afternoon, it was still charging at 25-30%. Of course, when the power station hit 100%, it quit charging. I read some of the negative reviews and they complain about low power and a weak frame. It's hard to know why someone had low power. There are a lot of factors to consider. As for the weak frame, these panels do seem heavy for such a thin aluminum frame. Panels 3 and 4 have the same frame material thickness as this one does. This one seems much heavier. Right now, I am satisfied with my purchase and I am especially happy with the price.
