Summary

Typical efficiency, bare box and short warranty

What it is: a 200 W four-section MC4 folding panel rated IP67, sold without a station cable
The trade-off: slightly better module efficiency than most folding panels at a low price, but one year of cover and no output guarantee
Not checked: the temperature coefficient, front material, stand and bypass diodes; Pecron publishes none for this panel
Look elsewhere for: a built-in stand, a cable in the box or a longer warranty

Strengths

Above-typical module efficiency for a folding panel
Waterproof junction and panel rating
MC4 leads work with many stations
Low price for its output
Two can run in parallel
