And yes, I ordered one. I think I can connect my other non-portable panel in parallel with this panel to get 200 watts.

I watched a vid on other foldable panels, and they are flexible, or semi-flexible, where this one just seems to be two non-flexible rigid frame panels in a case. That's ok for me, for now. I would use these with an RV/etc., or somewhere that I want to be able to move the panels around. Indeed, I saw one vid where the flexible panels didn't seem as convenient to setup because they flexed too much.

I will report on how well these work when they are delivered (hopefully next week). I have two trucks I keep on battery tenders, and one would be a good candidate for this. I also have a spare battery in the shop that would be a good candidate for this too.

@The Heretic Thanks! I was looking for something like this. Promo code worked, great price for what it is. Appreciate it!

Yes, I am also keeping my eyes open for such things.

I just ordered a Starlink dish kit (RV service) and I think that will quite possibly be a good off-grid comms channel (besides greatly improving my current internet access). I would like to be able to run it, at least periodically (several hours a day at least), on solar & battery power. I am given to understand that the new dish kit will run at 40-50 watts average, up to 100 watts peak (especially if it is cold - it contains a heater to keep ice/snow off it).

Beyond that, I want to be able to charge various vehicle batteries from an almost dead state (11-12 volts) within a day or two.

Then there is also being able to charge radio batteries, run radios, charge phones, etc. - and I have a UPS for computers/etc.
