Usability

1.9 out of 10

At 130 W it sits on the 120-149 W rung of the flexible-panel ladder, so it scores 3 on capacity.

Eco-Worthy's Amazon listing markets 25 percent efficiency, but its 130 W from 0.66 m² works out to 19.6 percent module efficiency, so it scores 2 on efficiency.

Eco-Worthy states no power-output warranty for this panel, and its Amazon listing gives the front sheet as PET, which caps a flexible panel at 3, so it scores 1 on lifespan.

Better on lifespanRenogy Black Division 100W FlexibleRenogy's product page. $139.99Scores 3.0

Its junction box is rated IP65 in the manual against IP68 on the product page, and on the lower figure, with a PET front and plain MC4 leads, it earns 1 of 8 feature points, so it scores 2 on features.

No certifier directory (Intertek, UL Product iQ, Certipedia or the CEC PV module list) lists this panel under ECO-WORTHY or Xiamen Eco-Sources, and Eco-Worthy's page and manual name no safety listing, so it scores 2 on verification.

Eco-Worthy's warranty policy covers PV modules for 1 year of materials and workmanship, against the 'Up To 10-Year Warranty' badge on the product page, so it scores 1 on warranty and support.

Warranty and returns

Eco-Worthy's warranty page gives most products 1 year and its 12 and 24 V batteries 3 years, for the original buyer only, against 10 years on its 48 V server-rack and PowerMega batteries and 2 years on its all-in-one inverters, both tiered by age.

Eco-Worthy publishes a temperature coefficient for Voc (-0.38 percent per °C) but none for Pmax, so it is not scored on operating range.

Light and cheap, PET-fronted

The L02AM130W18V is Eco-Worthy's 130 W, 12 V frameless flexible panel, a 960 x 690 x 2.5 mm monocrystalline laminate with a 24.5 V open-circuit voltage.

Verdict

It suits a buyer who wants a cheap, light panel to bond to a curved roof or move between sites, and who will not need an output warranty or a front sheet built for years of UV.

Reddit owners mostly report Eco-Worthy batteries holding their rated capacity and are less sure of its electronics. In an r/SolarDIY thread owners said their 100 Ah batteries tested to capacity and that two 12 V 260 Ah batteries in series stayed balanced for a year (February 2024), a UK owner measured nearly 102 Ah from a 12.8 V 100 Ah battery after a year on standby against 104.3 Ah new (June 2025), and in a Renogy-or-Eco-Worthy thread an owner called its batteries and panels fine and its charge controllers and inverters hit and miss (February 2026).

Complaints
  • Ridges along the main busbar
  • Junction-box sealant looked weak
  • 70 to 75 percent of rating in haze

On DIY Solar Forum an owner of four 130 W panels, framed in wood as a removable array, saw 70 to 75 percent of rating in haze, about matching a glass panel beside them, called the build quality lackluster with ridges along the busbar and doubtful junction-box sealant, and found they survived rain (July 2024).

  • Output probably under 130 W

The One Good Road, which says it got the panel from Eco-Worthy and links it through an affiliate link, measured 22.5 V open circuit in a first-impressions video and judged the 130 W panel probably a bit under its rating but very light and good value (August 2024, about 9,700 views).
