ECO-WORTHY 150Watt 12Volt Solar Panels with Black Design, High Efficiency Monocrystalline Cells PV Module Power Charger for RV Cabin Marine Farm Rooftop Battery Off-Grid Applications

I purchased the 150s because they fit perfectly in an open space on my toy hauler. Wired in series, I never got more than 100w, just ridiculous for 300w of panel. I was too late to warranty and just brought them to recycle today. Waste of money. I have LG, QCell, Hightec, and Newpowa panels, which all perform close to the rated output. I have some 10 year old LGs that are 94% of the rated power! I replaced these 150s with some 70s, and the output is as expected. Don’t waste your money with Ecoworthy, for smaller panels, I recommend Hightec (USA) or Newpowa.

Update to my original 1 star review. Updated to 5 based on support from ECO-WORTHYSep 4 - 2023After a phone call to Eco-Worthy USA support where I did get to talk to a real person quickly (Dalton) and explain my issue they put me in touch with their Amazon support team. I got an email from Oliver the next day who was able to arrange a replacement panel as soon as I provided my AMAZON receipt. So the issue appears to be getting resolved thru the warranty process as a replacement panel is on the way.As to why the panel failed I did some more investigation and confirmed the VOC is 20V but the ISC is only at abut 6.5 vs the 9.5 rating on a cold panel. The panel seemed to make my MPP go crazy so it would seem the VMP is off but I cannot measure that as it only provides 30W. I did a close inspection of the panel for any damage/cracks and I even tested tested/removed the bypass diodes to make sure they were OK. I did see this in the pictures which may explain the issue - a possible trace on front of panel looks damage. In future I plan to test ISC on all new panels since I normally went by VOC only.===============================================ORIGINAL REVIEW:I ordered the panel in March 2023 and by August 2023 it only outputs 30W when connected to my Victron 75/15. I hade a string of 3 panels and noticed output dropping. After taking time to connect each one individually this was the problem panel. Cables and connectors are good and no damage to panel noted.It did work well for a few months but something must have degraded . I called Eco-Worthy for support and seem to be getting the run around since they told me to contact Amazon. I will update if anything changes. Beware of your warranty period when buying through Amazon. It may not be the same as the manufacturer.

I have three of these in series and have yet to even see above 250 Watts out of 450 Watts possible. I bought them because of the 20 VOC so I would be able to run three in series at 60 volts. I own 3 power stations with that max input. My other array is 4 x 100 W panels from EcoFlow which I’ve already seen 400 watts coming in. It is set up 2 series - 2 parallel configuration. Both arrays are at same angle and direction to the sun.

These panels seem well constructed with good wiring. At 90F/32C mine put out 80% of the rated power on a clear day. However, that drops quickly as the panels heat up. At 105F/40C degree ambient temperature the panels and black framing will get up to 175/79C in direct sun - far too hot to touch. They lose another 35% with that heat, bringing the DC amp output to about the half rated power.I'll have to wait for winter to see what type of power output I can get on a cooler day.

These 150w panels do not meet nameplate specification. Bought 6 panels. Poor quality. Frame loose around glass. Ripples on the glass. VOC varies between identical panels. Average is only 17VDC . Amperage is also well below specifications. These panels are in a series wired ground mount. High noon, perfect angle, cold 40F day they only provide around 500 watts out of a theoretical nameplate of 900 watts. Series wired VOC should be around 120vdc. They make a measly 104 VDC open circuit. ((Our other PV arrays Hanwha Q Cell produce more than rated under same conditions)) Amperage on the string is 5.5 amps x 91 VMP through a Midnite solar charge control. I have other 100 watt panels from other manufacturers that provide way more power than the Ecoworthy 150watt panels. Buyer beware. Find another panel.

Purchased to install on a sailboat. After a lot of research I decided to give Eco-Worthy a try. Five Stars. Well made panels with solid glass matrix for solar cells, strong aluminum frame, quality, compact junction boxes and stout cables with connectors. Yielded over 18 amps in a driveway test out of the box on a cloudless day at noon, oriented 90% to solar angle. See photos. These replace two 28 year-old 120 watt Kyocera panels. These 150 watt Eco-Worthy panels provide 25% more power, 25% lower profile (shorter) at half the weight of the old panels. When installed aboard, long cable runs didn't take away more amps than expected. And acheived good performance even on days with light, hazy cloud cover. The packaging was damaged in shipping with cosmetic dings to a couple of corners of the panels. As compensatuon, Lark at customer service agreed to send me 32 feet of free cable with connectors at no extra charge. And the jet black panel color is kind of cool. I plan to add several more solar panels and related gear to the boat in coming months and I will go with Eco-Worthy products when I do. Good job you guys.

Power output is less than 30% of rated power in full sun.

Looks amazing completely back you can barely tell it's a solar panel, however it really struggles in efficiency so assume this is a 120 watt panel when comparing it to others.
