    Rate the quality of this panel? All black Single fold Eco-worthy 100w

    Weird. Link works for me. Maybe check out the US link? I live in Southern Spain. I have a bluetti eb3a. It takes 8 amps max from solar, and VOC is like 28/27 volts. Could I get two of these eco worthy foldables and connect them together for extra juice? Thanks

    I kind of like this unit. Im thinking of having two of these. Anything simple i could do to waterproof them? I plan to take them off at night anyways and have them on the roof with heavy duty magnets

    Thanks for your opinion. A comment said it is not waterproof?? The description says it is. How can I make sure what's correct? Cheers

    https://amzn.eu/d/fgjz22A 100w foltable eco-worthy solar panel. I like it because its compact and only has one fold. I think it checks all the requirements for a decent quality / price? Thoughts? Big thanks

    Thanks! Now I' consider investing in a battery isolator since I plan on owning some kind of home on wheels for the rest of my life. I didn't think of it as an long time investment before.

    EASIEST SIMPLEST CHEAPEST WAY to have power in van. Using starter battery?

    I thought about using a simple usb voltimeter. I think that + me being careful should be enough. Also, It's okay to use an AGM as a cranking battery? Could there be any issues? ( my van is a 1998 VW T4 2.4D ) Last thing. Is there a specific maximum capacity for the battery i'm allowed to use...

    EASIEST SIMPLEST CHEAPEST WAY to have power in van. Using starter battery?

    I thought about that but ive seen a video that says having a lead acid cranking battery charging an agm isnt healthy for the alternator and the batteries. Would i need both to be agm, or as long as there i use the isolator its fine?

    HI! I wanted to share an idea with y'all electrical masterminds. I want to keep my electrical system as low cost and little component and simple as possible : All I want is to charge my laptop, phone and maybe power bank. Could I theoretically simply have one huge 200 AH AGM battery that I...
