HQST50W 12V Polycrystalline Solar Panel High Efficiency Module Off Grid PV Power for Battery Charging, Boat, Caravan, RV and Any Other Off Grid Applications

I purchased four 50 watt panels and the necessary connectors to build a solar charger for our golf cart. Everything arrived promptly and in excellent condition. The project went smoothly and now our golf cart stays fully charged, most of the time without ever having to plug it in. I expect we will see much better battery life now, since lead acid batteries really benefit from being kept in a fully charged state as much as possible. Even on cloudy days, these panels are providing way more than a trickle charge current ... usually at least 1-2 amps at 36 volts, which equates to almost a quarter of their 200 watt full sun capacity. I'm happy!

Right out of the box, I was impressed at the build quality. The output is actually a little bit better than the specifications. I'm using it with the Beaudens 166WH power station and its working great. Gets the pack charged in 4 to 5 hours or so. A real Cracker-Jack product. Love it!It has ample places to mount in any way you decide. Lots of aluminum to work with. Construction is robust and clean. Back in the day, I had a 50 Watt panel from Kyocera (I think that's how it's spelled) that was much larger. Of course back them, we didn't have the efficiencies we have to day.Now I am considering a top of pole mount to complete the setup.

I purchased two of these 50w panels in Feb. of 2022. One of the panels failed after a year. I contacted the seller and they offered a refund.

I've ordered several HQST panels of different wattage and one charge controller. They all produce the amps they list and the controller has worked well with some nice features, like amps in. One panel is for our automatic gate, and the HQST was considerably less expensive than the Brand's panel.FYI, this panel DOES come with MC-4 connectors. I like these for simplicity and I have to somewhat often disconnect and reconnect the panel from the little battery bank I put together to run LED 12 V lights.Packaging is solid and no damage was observed when delivered. It took longer than expected but I suppose the supply chain issue affects just about everything.

nice paneleasy to install
