Instapark® 15W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel With a 12V solar charge controller

Item arrived in seven days which is faster than promised. I found panel quality to be fine for the price paid of 72 dollars which includes the controller and free shipping. It was very easy to hook up and works great. I use the solar panel to keep a 12v deep cycle battery charged for my electric bear fence. I used to have to charge the battery every two or three weeks to be sure it was up to par. With the solar panel hooked up I get a stronger shock all the time because battery remains fully charged which give me peace of mind, and should extend the battery life. I will be buying one of these for every bee yard I have.

Nice!! Even has a USB charging port. I used it to charge my phone and my digital camera just to try it out. Even though the sticker says it will not charge an iPhone, it works fine with mine! I bought this for my hurricane kit. I am also thinking of using it to power a small 12v fan to keep the humidity low in my boat that I keep covered at my house. I have 5 of these fans and it makes them run so fast, one of them actually took off like a helicopter and broke!!

I would have given it 5 stars if they included easier mounting holes. I don't know why their aren't holes all the way through, and I am afriad I might break it if I drill some myself.

This puts out the specified power. What I don't like is the general cheap feel of the units. The frame seems a little flimsy and there is no bypass diode in the junction box on the back.

Overall, it's OK, but next time I would buy a unit from Osprey-Talon

I use this on top of my horse trailer to keep a battery charged. I use a marine battery to power the hydraulic ramp on my horse trailer and this solar panel does a fine job of keeping the battery juiced up.

This has been something that has moved from camping projects to automotive use and shown itself to be versatile and reliable.

Originally, we hooked this up to a 12VDC motorcycle battery for camping use. The built-in 5VDC USB charger will operate off the battery as well as the solar panel, giving us a charger for mobile phones, and the battery recharged (under tree cover/partial shade) each day enough to operate LED lighting all night.

Since then, it's been used in a few unscientific electrical experimentation rigs, and adapted to provide a battery tender for a Geo Metro with a slightly weak alternator, and has been flawless in any application. (It's no replacement for a 120VAC-type battery charger, but it's enough to keep the car "startable" when its alternator wasn't *quite* pushing enough charge.) We've hooked this up to LED lighting, electric fans, and a number of other things.

On the (negligible) downside: the non-removable cable from the solar panel to the controller pack is quite long, but a little awkward in some applications (simply by virtue of being non-removeable), and the alligator clips are not the best, but are easily supplemented or replaced. (Driving a steel bolt through the existing clips provides a more permanent screw-on terminal once their springs wear out, without severely altering the device.)
