  • Marketed: cell efficiency of 23 percent or more on the page and in the manual; a 2022 manual said 20 and the Amazon listing says up to 23.4
  • Weight: the manual gives 9 kg net; the product page gives 18.48 lb (8.4 kg)
  • Range: rated to operate from -4 to 185 °F (-20 to 85 °C)

Station adapters in the box, short warranty

  • What it is: a 240 W folding ETFE panel with kickstands and a station adapter cable in the box
  • The trade-off: a touch better than typical folding-panel efficiency and broad station fit, but one year of cover and no output guarantee
  • Not checked: the temperature coefficient and bypass diodes; OUPES publishes neither for this panel
  • Look elsewhere for: an output guarantee, a longer warranty or a higher waterproof rating

Strengths

  • Station adapter cable in the box
  • Kickstands set the angle
  • ETFE front resists weather and wear
  • Dust and splash rated
  • Slightly better than typical module efficiency for a folding panel

Drawbacks

  • No power-output warranty
  • Short workmanship warranty
  • Weight differs between the manual and the product page
  • No temperature coefficient published
  • Maker advises against use in rain
