I barbell deadlift 184 pounds for 60 reps, 264 pounds for three reps, and dumbbell deadlift 122 pounds (each hand) for 6 reps, and at 5'9" tall and 145 pounds, this is still sort of awkward to carry from the inside my house, through a cluttered garage and to the backyard. If I were 6 feet tall or had really short arms, I could comfortably carry this with my arm straight, but since I'm not, I have to keep my arm bent like I'm carrying heavy luggage through an airport. The other option is keeping my arm straight, but penguin-walking the whole way. Also, setting this up is a bit of a pain, and it really needs a third stand. There are only three stands per section, so one of the middle sections always droops or sags because it doesn't have a support. Aside from these criticisms, it charges my Anker C1000X power station really fast, especially in the winter where I get very close to 400W. Starting from around 30 percent, I'll reach 100 percent in about 2-3 hours on a sunny day and fair temps. In 50-70 degree temps, I get around 250-350W depending on the conditions. Surprisingly, even though the cloud cover can appear unfavorable, I will sometimes get around 150-200W, so I've learned to leave the panel out even if my eyes say otherwise. The app is really useful for deciding whether it's time to bring the panels and power station back inside. For those using this panel with the C1000x, I recommend pairing via bluetooth instead of wifi because it doesn't do well if there are micro dropouts in wifi connnection. With this being my first solar panel, I'm still happy with my purchase because I definitely would have been impatient using a 200W panel. I'm actually planning on buying more power stations because I always reach 100 percent so fast. If I'm able to update this review, I'll let everyone know this panel works with the Bluetti AC180.

Bought these on sale using some of my points. They are a sturdy design & work well. Pair well with our Anker SOLIX F3800. They are pretty heavy for something considered to be “portable”, but as such are likely to survive better in the long term. One thing to note, they are almost always “On Sale”... so be sure to buy them then, and not during the brief periods when they are full price.
