G'day big fella, Had a 200 watt shingled Atem power panel on for 12 months. It developed snail trails and broken bus bars. Went with the Kings after your review. Off the top of my head, was rated to a max of 10.2 amps. Seen over 12 with my 20 amp Renogy Rover MPPT six months in. Happy as a dog with two dicks. Thanks for the review mate. Luke

Cheers mate these panels go hard when paired with quality controllers am still using this panel nearly 4 years on still going strong as the day I bought it

Thanks for doing a long term review. I am sceptical about the longevity of cheap 4WD Supa Centre gear, but it's pretty hard to mess up a solar panel..

@AverageBlokeAdventures Год назад

ive had mine up for coming up to 3 years now and it is still going strong

I bought a kings portable 250watt solar panel and the mppt controller was dead out of the box. I ditched the controller and run it through an Anderson plug into my dcdc charger.

Yeah thier mppt controllers are basically pre packed landfill

Thanks for that. What wa sthe doohicky that allowed you to see the data of the panel output & amount over the time period you'd had it setup? Cheers

@shutthegate8232 Год назад

think I may have found it. Went back to one of your early videos: Victron 50/150 solar controller?

@AverageBlokeAdventures Год назад

@@shutthegate8232 thats correct mate the victron solar controller conects to the victron app and can give you both live and historical data so you can monitor the performance of your setup

In our experience the Kings solid mountable panels are fine but their solar blankets are complete rubbish.

@AverageBlokeAdventures Год назад

Yeah I have a blanket as while I've not really had many issues I don't see myself buying another one any time soon

@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen Год назад

@@AverageBlokeAdventures Ours died after a pretty short time and I have seen others on YT showing the same problem. The 200w fixed panel we have seems good though and we have other Kings stuff the works ok.

A year late but a tip. Made a collapsible aluminium frame that holds the panel at 35 degrees, weighs nothing and packs away small. Pop a few microfibre cloths in before you fold it up after a clean. Stops scratching. Input and longevity has been amazing. Coming up 3 years, still getting 8 amps full sun. Keep em off the ground or windshield, like a semi flexible panel. Heat kills them.
