Hi Everyone.

I don't see this question posted previously.

I'm looking for flexible solar panels and I see these on Amazon that are 300 watts x2?

600 watts in two panels?

These are legit?
 
I get more power out of my regular 100w panel than my 3 x 100w flexible panels. But as others commented these should be 300 total but I would not even expect half of that from them.
 
No, the panels have only 36 cells. They are claiming 150W for each panel, and even that is probably a significantly inflated figure. Bad reviews, too. I would not buy them.
Another tell-tale of these scammers is the surface area of the panel:
1180*540mm panel with maybe 1140*500mm active area= 0,57m2

With 1000w/m2 standard test conditions that would be 0.57*1000*0.20 =117W for a panel with 20% efficiency
