Keeps battery topped up
Panel works well in most condutions. Even when cloudy it still charges the battery. Using this panel to keep a 12v 9amp battery topped up. The battery is used via a timer to power a 12v 2bar water pump that irrigates my allotment via a soaker hose system.
Good quality product at a reasonable price
Really pleased with this. Seems really good quality and works really well. My only minor complaint is that the crocodile clip leads are far too short. They are in a nicely insulated lead until they separate out a few inches from the end. They are not even long enough to reach the poles on a standard leisure battery which is surely what most people will be connecting it to. I had to cut back the insulation to make them longer which is a shame. They could also do with being larger as they don’t open wide enough to fit round the battery poles. Other than that it’s a great product.
Very good produc
I found the 25W solar kit so good I bought it twice. The service and communication were exceptional, with next day delivery.
When I need another solar panel I would not hesitate to buy from Eco Worthy.
This is a great little kit to dip your toe into Solar.
I currently have this setup on my daughter’s Wendy house with an 8ah LifePo battery.
Running various bits through the charge controller I have lights and a 12v USB socket to charge tablets etc.
So far I haven’t been able to get my battery below the 50% led indicator and it will recharge with in an April cloudy day in the UK quite easily. Sub 100 you can get a nice little kit to run some basic off grid stuff, ideal if your looking for a alloment Shed, Garage or other garden building.
Ideal for the purpose
This is the third of these I have bought and they are good for the job, they may not be the cheapest but looking at comments for others they seem to be better value for the money. All three panels are doing the job required of them.
Used as a means of charging a battery for sensor lights and an inverter in a workshop. Nice to have a bracket to adjust for solar angle for the time of year and the pre installed wires with connectors are nice to use. BUT in common with other controllers they advise a fuse on the battery supply cable for safety that you have to buy and install yourself. WHY not fit a simple blade fuse holder at the factory?
Otherwise I am happy so far.
Decent budget solar power.
I bought this for my allotment shed to keep a leisure battery charged. Fairly robust panel and whilst the charge controller is pretty cheaply made there is nothing wrong with it at all. It does a great job in direct sunlight and by the end of any bright day I’m hitting 13v no problem. On overcast days it doesn’t do such a great job but I live in South Wales and it has kept two 3w lights going for 4-5 hours a day through all of December without any issues. So I’m happy. Would recommend for sure.
Nice panel but the charge
Got 3 of these panels now, they all work great, the charger however is not so good, My batteries were at 15.2 volts with this and the output is the same , surely it should regulate the output to 12v ish. Was going to buy another to replace my blue cheap Chinese ones but this seems worse
I bought this solar panel and controller kit along with a 12v LED strip light to have in my shed, and so far it is doing the job very well and as intended. I am actually on my second solar panel/kit as the first one arrived with the glass of the solar panel smashed, but Amazon sorted this out without any hassle and I had another one arrive a few days later. I have hooked the controller up to a sealed lead acid motorbike battery I was not using and in the couple of weeks it has been up and running I have not had any problems. Having run a multimeter across the solar panel’s terminals a few times out of curiosity, it generates decent voltage in direct sunlight (25v and up) which the controller then does the job it needs to step that down to something the battery can handle. Even on cloudy days the panel generates decent enough voltage to charge the battery. My only slight criticism of the controller is that the ‘Load’ and ‘PV’ lights on it are very bright (green), which unless the controller is tucked away somewhere could be annoying/distracting – but in my application it does not bother me. All in all, would recommend this kit.
Cheap and cheerful
Charging up boat batteries very effectively, about 12 watts being seen on a sunny day from behind the windscreen and not perfectly aligned to the sun according to the battery monitor.
Quite a decent 10W solar panel and a charge controller. I bought it to see if it can charge or at least keep my car battery topped up while not driving it for an extended period of time.
I had the solar panel (10W) at ~15:00 April UK (south Wales) under full sunshine and the panel was producing 21.1V and 0.61amps. My simple calculatations (voltage x amps) suggest that this panel exceeds its 10W and was producing ~12.9W. Of course this is short circuit with a mutimeter and not under load, but it is rated as 0.61amps (short circuit) and I was getting this in April. Under somewhat cloudy weather it was producing ~0.4amps, quite good considering the clouds and that it is April in the UK. I have not yet fully tested it, as it draws a bit of current while the solar panel does not get sunshine, but at ~32mA standby current for 10h during a night it would draw 320mA, which is nothing.
The charge controller works as expected, but remember to connect the battery first and then the solar panel. Pretty simple to setup up with a sealed lead acid car battery. The default of the charge controller is sealed lead acid battery, but if that needs changing, simply hold the on/off button for 5s and 3 settings can be selected, sealed, gel and flooded.
Overall more than happy with this purchase of a 10W solar panel and charger controller kit for 26.
One slightly negative thing is that the PV and Load led lights are a bit too bright, they could have toned them down a bit. Also, there is no way to change the load light coming on (or load being on) when the device is disconnected. For the price these are really minor things.
Edit: After a bit of testing it is pretty good solar panel. Even in April (South Wales), 11am, behind a double-glazed window my power meter was showing 4.5W and 300mA (see photo of the 4.5W produced under load). It is unevitable that the double-glazed window will reduce the power output, so pretty happy with this purchase. In addition, the charge controller will go into a float mode of ~13.7V after the bulk charge of 14.4V. Thus, it will not over-charge your car battery. I also put the solar panel outside (end of April south Wales; 13h) and my wattage meter was showing 8W and 584mA generated under load (12V car battery). So, the specs are spot on.
Brought this as our new to us caravan this time round doesn’t have a solar panel and we are reluctant to start drilling holes in the roof while it’s under warranty. We wanted something to keep the battery topped up and alarm activated whilst in storage. We have been using it for a month now and it is doing what we need it to keeping the leisure battery topped up to between 12v and 12.5v. Easy to connect and we run the cable through the window (see pic) as we don’t have access to the battery box in the caravan and I balance the solar panel in the lounge skylight by slightly pulling over the blind and flyscreen so it gets any sun rather than having to wait for it to move around to the front of the caravan.
Im Prinzip toll
leider hat der Controller nicht sehr lange gehalten.
Aber die Kommunikation mit ECO-WORTHY EU und hoffentlich letztendliche Abwicklung der Ersatzlieferung ist sehr gut gelaufen.
Hoffe ich mal auf einen Ausnahmefehler und auf einen erfolgreichen Betrieb mit dem Ersatzgert.
Da ich mit dem Auto teilweise nur alle ein paar Wochen fahre, benuze ich dieses Set um die Autobatterie vor einer Tiefentladung zu schtzen. Dies Funktioniert auch (prinzipiell) sehr gut. Daher wrde ich solch ein Set unbedingt weiterempfehlen.
Die Abwicklung der Ersatzlieferung ist innerhalb von quasi Stunden erfolgt. Ein absolut dickes Plus an den Verkufer.
Does the job perfectly.
I’ve installed on my boat to keep the cranking battery charged up. I have a Chargemetrix device installed so can remotely monitor the battery condition, and I can see the effect of the solar panel straight away. Superb bit of kit.
me permet de rester garer 8 heures au soleil et faire de la radio amateur en tirant sur la batterie de mon vhicule tout en complmentant une partie des pertes , j ‘ai une conso de 70 ampres/heure avec mon installation , mais aucun problmes la voiture dmarre le soi
Bought to trickle charge a battery running LED ‘puck lights’ in a summerhouse. Overall very pleased with it and especially the USB port on this model as an added bonus. Wasn’t sure before buying about fixing brackets – suggested ones didn’t look as though they’d work so I made my own – very easy using some 12mm aluminium strip if you’re handy with DIY and have basic tools. Fixing to brackets is fidly but I used short nuts and bolts. All in about 30 minutes work. PV panel instructions a bit complicated and incomplete but DO read the controller instructions fully. Used a mains DP switch as an isolator as much cheaper than 12v equivalents. 12v fuse already available to connect to. Overall it took me about 3 hours overall to do allthe worong and power it up and immediately it started charging. Next day was sunny and even in November it topped up the battery fully.
10 watts at 12v = 833 mA, the most I got was 280 mA, equivalent to 3.4 watts but this was from a low winter sun in November at about latitude 53 Deg North, which seems fair enough to me. It will be interesting to see how it performs in summer.
The charge light came on a 07:36 on cold damp morning, but taking measurements I found that in fact the battery was discharging at 3.7mA, with the PV panel switched off the discharge reduced to 2.4mA. This means 1) the charge LED only indicates that there is a voltage generated by the PV panel and does not necessarily mean the battery is actually charging, and 2) the battery will lose charge overnight or in overcast conditions if left connected to the controller.
Connecting the panel to the battery via a Schottky diode on an overcast day generated about 10mA in the morning, increasing towards midday and then back down again in the evening. Much better on a sunny day as you’d expect.
The implication is that if you leave the controller permanently connect to a battery during the winter, you could end up with a flat battery. To keep a battery in condition over winter I would go for a panel with crocodile clips and no controller.
EDIT – from experiments it would appear that this unit does NOT have a blocking diode, bear this in mind if you want to connect it directly to a battery or in parallel with other panels.
Ottimo
Ho aspettato un po per recensire perch volevo assicurarmi delle prestazioni del prodotto!
Iniziamo col dire che un prodotto ben fatto, se posizionato in un punto di massima resa eroga 19v in uscita dai cavi, il regolatore di carica montato da mesi in una scatola impermeabile all’esterno e carica una batteria moto 7ah 12v egregiamente!
Ci mando avanti un’impiantino domotico da cancello esterno e tutto fila liscio!
Consigliato!
The solar panel is fully functional and outputs a 14v even when overcast. Unfortunately the solar controller does not work. I’ve checked polarity of the preferred cables, and the voltage at the input terminals, but the unit does not power up. No output voltage is seen at the charging output.
Edit – swift response from seller, the controller needs to be connected to a Charged battery initially, which I didn’t find in the manual.
I’ve never fitted a solar panel before so the lack of fixings or instruction set me back 10 minutes. Once I’d worked out I could use mirror fixings it was full steam ahead. Unit installed and connected to a battery, all working and charging fine. Looks good and works well. My shed now has light and power.
Prodotto Buono
Il prodotto un prodotto buono, unica pecca qualche residuo di silicone intorno alla cornice e la pinza del positivo ha il metallo un po’ piu’ corto rispetto alla plastica esterna, quindi a volte pensi di aver preso nel morsetto il contatto invece ha preso solamente la plastica.
Panneau fix sur une caisse en bois pose sur un kayak de mer. Ce panneau recharge gentiment une batterie pour un moteur lectrique 12v. Semble assez solide. Fils juste assez long pour mon usage.
Habe bereits diese Panele zum zweiten Mal gekauft. Die beiden haben mittlerweile den Einsatz in Gartenhtten gefunden, angeschlossen an eine 17AH Batterie. Um damit je 2 LED Scheinwerfer mit je 27Watt zu speisen. Die Lampen hngen an am Ladereglerabgang hinter einem Bewegungsmelder. Dieser regelt zuverlssig die Abschaltung bei zu niedriger Spannung.
Dafr ist diese Insellsung spitze.
Aber um mit der Ladeleistung tglich eine Applewatch und ein Iphone zu laden, reicht die Produktion aber nicht aus, selbst bei optimalen Wetterbedingungen. (Bin dort auf eine 20ziger Panele umgestiegen, damit klappt 🙂
