 solar comment Nov 29, 2011
By mazzopardi
impressed by the quality of the panel and for the price you really can create your own home solar system on a budget. They were shipped very fast and packaged above and beyond to ensure the panel arrives safe.100 percent satisfied I plan on making another purchase of these panels before 2012 arrives to also get a tax credit which lowers the price. start saving the world by going green and cut your electric bills.

 well worth it Jan 21, 2012
By scottks
I've bought three of these panels, but had to send the second one back. With a solar panel, either it works or it doesn't. The two I've kept are working great, even though it's winter right now, and my panels aren't on a tracker. It's cloudy and raining as I write, and they are charging at one third of an amp. When the sun is out, my batteries are back to fully charged in no time. I use my system to listen to Sirius radio, and to watch two to three hours of TV on a 32-inch flat panel LCD screen daily. The price is right, and the quality top notch!

Ramsond 100 watt solar panel Nov 20, 2011
By kim garvin
This panel is well made. Puts out power in low light conditions. It comes with MC-4 connectors attached. At this price it is a very good deal for a 100 watt panel.

 Nice but...Quality Control issues on first two panels ordered Mar 21, 2012
By Bree
I received two initial panels with defects.
1) Shifted cell that almost touches an adjacent cell had the tabbing wire in a bind as well as the tabbing wire being off of the cell buss traces and covering part of the light sensitive area of cell itself. Poor silicon sealing around back of panel.
2) The other panel had better tabbing quality. Most obvious glaring problem was an approx 5mmx5mm piece of opaque debris trapped between the glass and a cell partially blocking part of the light sensitive area of the cell.
I contacted RAMSOND and sent pictures of the defects to alert their QC people in China. After sending another follow up email they responded and offered a credit of $30 for both of the defective panels or to replace them. I opted for the credit as the defects did not render the panels useless, they just meet electrical spec... They said this QC problem was atypical and I could tell it was, so I ordered more panels when they went on sale...
Subsequent 100W panels I purchased from RAMSOND had no trapped debris but tabbing gets off of a tad from the cells buss trace covering some of the light sensitive areas of the cells but an improvement over pervious panels overall. Blue coating they use on the new cells seems inconsistent so you get different shades of cell color from black to light blue, strange looking. THe first panels were more consistant with the coating. The new panels I received use physically different shape cells than the first two I received just a few weeks apart so they aesthetically don't match...minor issue though. I will be testing the newest ones I just received fully for electrical specs and follow up later.
Overall the panels are not a bad deal if you get them on sale. RAMSOND ran a sale of $184 for the 100W panels recently on their website, which is a super great deal for monocrystalline panels, but it is now back to $269 per panel. I'll wait for another sale at $184 with free shipping to buy more.

Beautiful Panel Feb 09, 2012
By mike
The panel came two days early from the expected date! I was impressed at first site by the craftsmanship. You can tell this is a longer lasting panel compared to the older ones. From the info I been seeing online the ones with single solar cells seem to have a much more longevity and power output compared to the solid black ones from older generations.
After just a quick setup in the window it was already pushing 12 volts on a overcast day! I have had it hooked up to a marine batt with the HQRP 10Amp 150W Controller and 75 watt inverter this has been running my router and modem non stop since. I also will use it for them power outages to power my tablet. Very happy so far.
