GOLABS SF60 Solar Panel 60W Foldable Portable

Initially bought for charging my Jackery 500. They’re not too heavy and come with many different connectors. The in built controller allows charging of multiple USB products, ie power bank and mobile phone.

In ideal sunlight, this 60w panel was charging my Jackery at 27-29w.

These 60W GOLABS SF60 solar panels are super easy to set up and lightweight enough to carry around, making them incredibly handy if you already have a portable power station/battery bank and you’re either the type to go on adventures where you also want a non-grid power source, or you’re simply preparing for the inevitable apocalypse and want something lightweight and portable.

The solar panels kit is super easy to set up, basically just unfold it and pull out the support/stand to angle the panels towards the sun. The weight is around 5kg and combined with the carry handle, the kit is lightweight and comfortable to carry around. We use our panels connected directly to a GOLABS power station/bank, and connecting the two together is so incredibly easy that it is basically just ‘plug and play’, and together we can power/charge a variety of devices without having to connect to the grid!

Amazing quality Fold up nicely very compact for storage if aren’t using ITmaterial seems high graded and very convinent especially for on the go travel . Easy to carry around and works like a charm . Would definitely recommend . However slightly annoyed at the time or purchase the price then was almost higher than it is now .

Only use one time on October. 2022
Used for powering my shed have had hooked up to lesiure battery and have been using it to charge lots of stuff . Work fine.

I’m using it with a POWEROAK 400Wh power station and it charges that when it gets full sunlight. I’m using it inside so behind a window and probably not at the optimimum angle for the November sun. The PowerOak has registered a maximum charging rate of 35w when it gets full sun across all panels. More typical rate is 15-20w and if the sun goes behind a cloud it drops to 0w. I’m hopeful I will get better figures in summer and outside. Works fine for charging smaller items like phones directly though.

I already purchased the Golabs power pack which is a
superb bit of kit with many uses. I planned to use it to power awning lights and also TV in awning via the 3 pin plug socket. Site electric is now being billed separately and quickly racks up so it’s been good to have a completely independent source of power that bar the outlay of initial purchase means future power is effectively free. The panels kept the powerpack charged up perfectly. Connected together using the lead that came with the powerpack. Unzipping the case on the rear of the panels it contains USB ports (USB A & C) and a long flex with the connectors to plug into the powerpack. Open the panel, use the pegs to secure them down and stop them blowing away and it just worked. Pack starts charging and keeps you in power for as long as you have light. It wasn’t particularly sunny during our week away but it still worked perfectly. Such a neat solution and one I am sure we’ll use the most. It may even encourage us to go off-grid caravanning. I would recommend buying the same brand panels and powerpack as you know they’ll work together. It also comes with crocodile clips to connect directly to a leisure battery and a whole host of smaller connectors. It’ll literally connect to anything to charge or power. The handy zipped bag keeps all the leads together to prevent them getting lost.

I finally got round to getting these solar panels to go with my 120W power station. I know it is a bit late in the year I know but at least I will be fully prepared for next year. However, the panels do work well even in the autumn sun. I would recommend buying the power station and solar panels separately as I think you will save one to two hundred pounds doing it that way rather than buying a combined setup. The panels connects to the power station with no issues. I opted for 60W but I could upgrade in the future if required. At present it should provide more than enough power for 2 of us in our campervan or camping. With the price of electricity nowadays, living off the grid feels amazing.

Easy to use and comes with all wires and adaptors. Heavier than it looks but it’s not an issue. I use this every chance I get to charge my power bank.

Awesome solar panels, easy to set up ( great for a complete novice like me !) , portable purchased with Golabs R150 – wish I had purchased these ages ago..

I bought this with the matching charging bank / unit. I had to send the bank back but that’s another review.
The panel however is super useful. Yes you do need a fair bit of sunshine to get the best out of it. Get yourself a 3m iPhone lead sit back and relax. It’ll charge the phone more than you will drain.
Very pleased with i

Really great quality, has all the ports and cables you need, however i never get more than 40W at best case

If you have a portable battery like myself that you use in beach days or when camping then you really should have a solar panel to match it.

We have a 600W battery with this connected to it which trickles through enough power to keep it topped up even when using it all day as long as its not too cloudy.

Surprisingly a little bit of cloud doesn’t do too much and you can still get 10-20kwh from it even on a bad day, although 50+ is normal in Nice blue skies.

Using it simple, unfold it and plug it in, as it comes with loads of connector ends its easy to make sure you have the one you need too.

Chuffed to bits with this. Had a long think about spending 200+ on a portable solar setup and did a lot of research. We needed something that worked straight out of the box and wasn’t complicated! It had to be well made as it will be used a lot and moved / carried / packed up etc. This looked really smart with sturdy carry handles and 100w was ideal for our needs. When I looked into the spec I liked the multiple cables that were included in the price as well as 4 output ports so we can charge multiple items at the same time. This simply explained works immediatelysoon as it’s in sunlight it’s producing power. As I have shown even at 7.45ish PM is still charges my iPad! It can be used to charge multiple talents and 12v appliances / batteries. I will be charging my powerbanks using this so I can have 24/7 power. We do a LOT of camping and may be starting a summer job on a campsite and this will easily power a 12v fan, charge my mobile, iPad and when needed my laptop. It’s 5.2 kgs which seemed heavy but it’s actually not that bad. It’s robust which was more important I know it will be thrown around the car when we travel or in our caravan so a delicate panels not going to last. It’s waterproof which with British weather will be useful because if I’m working I can leave it up outside the caravan and not worry. Really happy we took the plunge. Solar is the way forward and this is FREE energy so worth every penny as an investment. Will def consider buying one of the portable power stations that can be used with this and if our needs change we can also buy more panels and simply plug them into this one to create a bigger string. If you look at the start of my video I did a close up of the panel and the handles/finish. It’s really well made. Attention to detail etc. Love it. Brill. EDIT : postage said it would be 2 wks but it arrived in 3 days.

This solar panel is easy to use but the output it not super-high. The array of outputs on the back (USB etc.) is handy but the panels only work well in direct sunlight — and output is only about 80W.

The unit is sturdy, charges devices quickly and worth the sale price but the zipper on the pouch that protects/stores cables and PMS does not seal. Too bad the poorly designed zipper spoils a perfect score.

I bring this for our camping trips, can easily charge all my electronic device, this panel is very nicely portable much nicer for transportation, it also come with many different interchangeable plugs into whatever equipment you might have.i would definitely recommend this solar panel.

Very pleased with the panel. Got an impressive 56-58 watts as long as the clouds didn’t screw things up, that’s mother nature for you. Light clouds still got me a wavering 38-41 watts, not bad at all. I’m using it to charge a Golabs i200 power station among other things and the combination of the two seems to be a perfect match.

Super easy to setup and fairly compact. On a super sunny day I was able to see up to 40w of charging but haven’t seen any higher. I am pretty happy with my purchase!

Das Solarpanel funktioniert prima. Ich konnte eine groe Powerbank laden. Durch das zusammen falten lsst es sich gut verstauen.

As it is getting warmer and sunnier outside I have many photo shootings in the open space and this solar panels are helping me to charge my batteries. Before, I used to carry 7-8 batteries to ensure that my cameras will work properly and now I have no worries at all. I am using the solar panels to charge my phone, my power bank and my 6 batteries for my camera and for my outdoor lights.
So far I had no problems at all, the panels are very handy and easy to use, they come in a small, lightweight and easy folding design that allows to set up in just under 1 minute.
I have tested it in different type of weather and it is definitely waterproof which gives me the confidence that during my photo shootings I will have enough power to charge my batteries (mind to protect the pouch though because is not waterproof)
Functionality wise is very convenient, it has MC4 cable and controller included with 10 different attachments which is convenient for different types of devices.
Overall, a very good experience so far, recommend it.

easy to use and out put about 30w to 50w,
only problem is the charging cable is not suitable for their Brand power station, power station use the 55*1.7 jet but cable is 55*25 need conve

Bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, aktuell im Mrz wird mit maximal 40 Watt geladen… meistens aber nur 20-30 Watt. Die 60 Watt sind vermutlich nur am Papier.

Ich bin jetzt kein Solarprofi, aber ich hatte mir zumindest ein wenig Ladevorgang erwartet, wenn selbst der Himmel etwas bedeckt ist, aber da kommen dann nur 0-1 Watt raus trotz direkter Ausrichtung gegen die Sonne.

Update 1 – Mitte Mai 2022: Bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung an einem wolkenlosen Tag ldt das Panel nur mehr mit maximal 25 Watt anstatt zuvor im Mrz mit bis zu 42 Watt. Das sollte nicht so schnell defekt werden. Nach kurzem Test und “beschatten” der einzelnen Panelteile muss ich feststellen, dass scheinbar der mittlere Teil defekt ist, der liefert nicht mal 50% der Leistung der anderen. 25 Watt Gesamtleistung ist leider nicht mal die Hlfte der beworbenen 60 Watt – mit 42 Watt wre ich zufrieden gewesen im Mrz, das wr im Sommer jetzt sicher etwas mehr gwesen, wenn auch keine 60 Watt. Schade.

Update 2: GOLABS hat mir dankenswerterweise ein Ersatzpanel (zwar eine Rcksendung) geschickt, welches anstandslos funktioniert und mit 45-50 Watt ldt. Danke!

Rezension und erste Eindrcke zum 60W Panel: recht wertige Verarbeitung und berzeugend in der Leistung. Heute Mittag, 12.00 Uhr in der Sonne Ende Februar: das Panel liefert echte 44Watt an die Golabs Powerstation (204 Wh)! Damit wre diese in weniger als 5h komplett aufgeladen. Und das einfach nur als erster Versuch: Panel nur auf eine vorhandene Kissenbox im Garten aufgestellt, bei blauem Himmel natrlich. Die wirksame Flche betrgt ca. 1/3 m2, das finde ich schon ganz ok fr so ein tragbares Panel. Wobei man von der Gre und Gewicht ggf. etwas berrascht wird: auf Wanderschaft wrde ich damit nicht gehen, aber im Kofferraum ist dafr locker Platz.
