Instapark® NEW All Black 5W High-Efficiency Mono-Crystalline Solar Panel

a good panel. Be Careful, no diode installed. Needs a diode, if not used it will run backard at night to discharge battery.

June 2011 I was worried initially about the packing. I purchased two of these and they arrived in light packing material. Both appeared to be in good working condition and so far I have had no problems. The previous reviewer is correct about the lack of a diode, but that is easily rectified with a trip to Radio Shack. Note this product does not come with suitable mounting equipment.

Inexpensive, solid durability, no brainer. I put 2 together to charge my iPhone. Works on a so-so cloudy Seattle day! Really a good unit to experiment with to learn solar. I used 2 of them to power a remote video camera, drive some fans, built a solar powered refrigerator out of a coleman cooler, heat sink and a small fan....that turned out really well. I could buy dozens of these!

I purchased this panel (as well as a controller, 12V battery, and accessory plug) for recharging electronics during extended kayak trips. I haven't taken it on a long trip so far, but did test it for several hours in my shady back yard. Even lying flat (as it will be on the kayak) in a relatively shady area, it still provided plenty of charge for my devices. The smaller dimensions make it easy to secure with bungees on deck or stow when not in use. I'll probably add a bead of silicone around all of the exposed joints for peace of mind, but otherwise the panel is exactly what I needed. It provided me with a very cost-effective way to keep everything charged out on the water.

I picked up this solar panel for a rediculously low price. I am using it on an electric slide gate and I have had it for about a few months now. I wish they would have included a mounting bracket, but I was able to make my own relatively quick. It is super great not to have to run wires and dig trenches.
