EcoFlow 100W Rigid Panel - Unboxing and First Impressions

I ordered this ‪@EcoFlowTech‬ 100W Rigid Panel and it arrived before the spot I chose for it was ready. It was a nice sunny day out so I decided to head to the park to test it out. I'm truly impressed with the panel. Out of the box I got 96W of input from the solar panel into the EcoFlow River 2 Pro power station. The panel weighs less than 14 pounds so it was easy to maneuver and angle it towards the sun.
I have another 100W panel from a different manufacturer and I have never gotten more than 70W input to any of my power stations - no matter how sunny or clear the sky was. This one hits it out of the park with how much power it is capturing. The universal MC4 connectors mean that the panel can be connected to just about any power setup with the right cables or adapters. Very plug-and-play friendly. I used the MC4 to XT60i cable that came with my EcoFlow 220W bifacial portable panel and it worked perfectly.
I was using the power station to keep my phone and tablet charged and both combined were using less than 20W of power. This is great since I would be able to work all day using the solar panel to keep the power station fully charged while at the same time keeping my devices powered. No need to worry about the batteries in my devices dying.
Reminder: If you don't already have one, you will need to also purchase an MC4 to XT60 cable to connect the panel to an EcoFlow Power Station. While you're at it, also get the EcoFlow solar angle finder to accurately line up the panel with the sum and maximize the amount of solar power that is being captured.

Very good review, I am impressed with this solar panel model because it seems to be very efficient. 95w is impressive compared to otehr models. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks. I agree… it’s impressive - I certainly wasn’t expecting 95W. Now I’m thinking it’s time to replace the Renogy that’s mounted to my cargo carrier.
