Admittedly, I accidentally pulled them too hard while moving the panels so it's my own fault but I believe the cables could be reinforced better at the connectors to prevent these issues. The only con I have found is that the outer insulation pulls away from the connector, the pins can come out of the connectors and one of the connectors has broken (part of the plastic surrounding the pin) but is still usable and the pins can be reseated into the plastic connectors. This product is working as well as the previous 2 and I'm very happy with the performance. Because it's getting cloudier, and wanting a shorting charging time, I purchased this 3rd 100W solar panel. I used these products for 6 months to power my 100W widescreen TV and my computer (75W average) which has brought me from paying more than a similar home in my area as reported by my electricity provider to paying $7 less ($7.50 less monthly on average than last year and even with a hotter summer this year with a higher air conditioner usage). So, I purchased Lion's Emergency Preparedness Kit in the Spring which included the Safari LT solar generator and a 100W solar panel to which I added a 2nd 100W solar panel, a 25' extension cable and Safari UT 700 battery. I'm on disability income and can't afford expensive energy bills. You can never put a price on peace of mind!! The 2 new panels from Lion will definitely help to maximize our access to power if it ever comes to that. This material is called a semiconductor the semi means its electrical conductivity is less than that of a metal but more than an insulator’s. If we run out of gas, the solar becomes primary. Solar cells contain a material that conducts electricity only when energy is providedby sunlight, in this case. I have a 10,000 watt gas generator to handle the big stuff like the friges and freezers and window AC units with a boatload of stored treated gasoline that i rotate out every year. The solar genny is a household secondary unit for mostly indoor things like computers and accessories to work from home, Keurig coffee maker, oil filled radiator heaters, nebulizer unit, cable box, tv, DVD player, portable cooking burners, etc. Next purchase from Lion will be 2 more Anderson cords to extend the distance from panels to genny. These extra 2 panels will both speed up recharge on my solar generator AND make it drain considerably slower when operated with panels active. I got a feeling that rolling blackouts and power outages are going to become an issue here in America soon with these current bozos at the helm. Delayed 2 days in final delivery because of weather but no bigggy.Ĭame in sturdy outer cartons and i really like the included storage bags they came in. I ordered two 100 watt solar panels to augment my array. Firstoff, the prices are very reasonable compared to most!
