This panel is well made and produces a marginally acceptable 55-70% rated output, but note that it has an unusually high voltage of 48 volts. This is way higher than most other brand panels and it will make it difficult to add additional panels if hooking up in series to your power stations. For example, my Anker Solix C1000 power station has a max input of 60 volts. The 48 volts also limits power production if in parallel with non-Anker brands which have lower voltages. Read the specs, review the formulas for volts/amps/watts and do the math to ensure your power station can handle more panels if that is your goal. You will most likely be stuck using costly Anker panels (in parallel) if you want to add more.
I got these with a package deal. Today is September 7 2024. With cloudy conditions intermittent. When in full sun I have seen these hit 421 watts output. So they are fully capable of what there rated for and a bit extra. Build quality is phenomenal.I would buy more of these if they were cheaper. This will be my main panel. Anker has always been good product have never had much problems with any of their products.Come on Anker. I know you have quality products but price of admission is a bit high. If your rich then get these if not then wait till they come down in price.The picture is from the day I wrote the review
Other’s have given this panel bad reviews in my opinion mostly due to their ignorance.Educate yourself not only on the panel but also how solar energy works before you slam the panel.I purchased the Anker 767 generator for emergency uses not for “off the grid” uses.Due to my needed application I wanted portable solar panels for my 767 generator so I purchased three 531 200w panels.I considered other brands/panels other than the Anker 531 to charge my 767 generator primarily due to the Anker panels are a tad pricey.I also consider the Anker PS400 400w panel but it being about twice the price of the 531 200w panel I thought it best to stay with the 531 200w panels.There are certainly other panels out there other than Anker panels that can be used to charge the 767 generator.You just need to understand what the requirements are for the 767 generator so as to purchase panels with the right specifications.There’s no doubt there are cheaper quality solar panels out there and I know this as I have quite a few non-Anker portable and fixed solar panels.However these panels are made with the Anker 767 generator in mind so that direct compatibility is a big plus for me.Compared to other cheaper portable panels I would consider the Anker 531 panel to be a “heavy duty” version in construction.Since my use are for emergency conditions only I wanted a panel that was not only portable but built to withstand harsh conditions which the 531 panel I believe meets that criteria.As far as setup goes these are easier to setup and adjust than other portable panels I have.However as with all portable panels you’ve got to work a bit to get them set just right for maximum efficiency.All 3 of my 531 200w panels in optimum conditions put out an average of about 170 watts each.If you do some research I think you’ll find that 85% output efficiency is very good for a portable solar panel.In conclusion; if your application is for a portable solar panel the Anker 531 is a very good choice.However I would only purchase these if your application is for emergency uses not for a full time “off the grid” application.For “off the grid” application I would recommend going with a fixed panel which I believe will run about half the price of the Anker 531 potable panel.
I did a lot of research on this product and now using it does not disappoint. Solar panels are a bit heavy but charging time is a lot less than expected and the battery is very portable. I highly recommend this product.
