Excellent product and fast shipping communication is great needed help a couple times got all my problems worked out very quickly then got a personal call from a representative checking to see if everything worked out properly and also got a number for tech support what more could I ask for thanks again to every one who helped to solve my issues and the fast shipping for the great products from Eco-worthy.

I'm a dyslexic seventysomething woman who is trying to set up a DIY off-grid solar system by myself. I am a lousy carpenter, too. I was attracted to this four-panel solar array and mount because it's one package, it's what I want to start with, and I think I can get it together without calling in help. This review may evolve, but right off the bat, I want to address two things I've seen mentioned here. First, the panels I received ARE bifacial panels. Second, because of my experience building the mount, I can say that there is an answer for anyone who has that wobble problem. I read all the reviews first, so I knew what to look for.What I did not realize until I had the two base pieces (the "feet") completely assembled is that I shouldn't have tried to follow the instructions. Let me explain. I am planning to build Brad Cagle's DIY Solar Ground Mount on Wheels, and he uses 4x4 lumber to mount the feet to. Look at my photos.If you do steps 1 and 2 by the manual, you wind up with the feet longways (foreground of the "feet" photo) across the 4x4, meaning you cannot drill and screw the feet into the lumber; it's too wide. And the posts wobble, as others have stated. In my bummed-out but will-there's-a-way way, I tried turning the feet sideways and just screwing the short poles in through the holes in the middle of the U. Not only did it work just fine, it was rock-solid with no wobble. I think once everything is put together, it should be plenty strong enough.Eco-Worthy does us a favor by pre-assembling the triangular pieces of the vertical rods (that affix to the feet), but they are assembled with each triangle all the way to the end of the rod (in the last hole on either end). When assembled, this gives you a 25 degree angle, so if that's what you need, leave the triangles where they are. Each movement of one hole adjusts the angle by 5 degrees, and I started to just move the triangle into a different hole in the long feet, but then I saw in the manual that the short feet should have the triangles screwed in at the second hole. I took the time to move the two lower triangles on the rods to the second hole, and I left the long-rod triangles in the last hole as they came assembled. The manual says this will give you 30 degrees tilt, and it does.It's not clear from the instructions if it matters which way the U on each foot faces or which way the nuts and bolts should be screwed in, but I opted to make them mirror images of each other, the left side the bottom of the U facing left, the right side the bottom of the U facing right. I made the mistake of tightening everything down with the lovely tools Eco-Worthy provides (see how I made a handy assembly helper using the three-pronged wrench?), but I should not have done that. Don't tighten anything down so much that you don't have some play until after you get your base totally squared and built.After I finished steps 1 and 2, I quit until I can pick up my lumber tomorrow and build my frame with caster wheels. Once that's done and all squared up, then I will mount the feet with vertical rods and make sure everything is just right before I try to put on the horizontal rods and mount the panels. I'll use my Optimal Tilt app and inclinometer to check everything where the mobile mount will be placed most of the time, then tighten those nuts and bolts.And so my solar journey continues. So much to learn. So much you can screw up! Hang in there, noobs, and keep reading. It starts to sink in after a while. Thanks to Eco-Worthy for making this for us.

Great product and quality

The product itself is fine, other than the directions being terrible. But its been weeks and I'm still missing two solar panels. If you live in one of the states where they have to send it in three parts just beware you many not get your things before the return window ends.

Pricey, poor packaging

Got on EB, GREAT DEAL, BEST cust. Service. Any broken panels replaced in days. Each panel 8a /23vAfter 3 purchases, assembling the supports actually is FUN!Well designed.

You'll need your own cables, controllers, and connectors. Comes with easy Bracketing assembly instructions however since I was mounting them to the roof of my van I have a lot of left over parts. I've been down the freeway at 80 mph and everything is secure so far (been installed a week since Sept 1st 2024). (This project took me about 3 days and a lot of going up and down a ladder) I mounted / bolted the long rails directly to my roof rack cross bars, there was a bit of a sag and bouncing which I cured using some closed cell foam glued and wedged about halfway. Total length for the 4 panels (with rails) was 110 inches from my skylight and hangs ever so slightly over the rear doors and the width fit between the rails of my roof rack.The amperage from the panels is more than the 30 amps that my battery charger puts out and is keeping my 4 batteries charged up ok so far. (I run my TV all night). I'm using 2 cheap charge controllers at 30Amp each($12.00ea)My cables are a similar gauge as a lamp cord wires(already run from the original system that I spliced into) and seems to be handling the voltages just fine but I'm also only 10 feet from my batteries, Bigger gauge would be needed for greater distances so you don't suffer electrical loss and other problems.Using and soldering those special terminals takes a bit of practice so it's best to order extra connectors to help with your education, I think I wasted 2 of them before I figured them out, but I have other experience with different connectors so I didn't waste too many. Make sure you use solder on all your connections and shrink tubing also helps.My original solar system was a 150.00 Harbor freight 100W,,4 panel system than needed to be upgraded. The old system would only charge my 3 batteries(at that time) about 0.3 of a charge all day and it was only a 6.7 amp system.
