VTOMAN VS400 Portable Solar Panel 400W 40V - 23% Efficiency Foldable Solar Panel, IP67 Waterproof, MC4 Anderson XT60 DC5521 Adapters & Adjustable Kickstands, Off-Grid Power for Home, Camping

Easy to set up and gives a decent charge to the battery pack I bought with it. It’s great that not having an electric point during camping holidays is no longer an issue. You still need to be careful what you use (depending on your power pack setup) but it always feels good getting the energy for nothing.

Previously reported that Solar Panel did not arrive although it was recorded as delivered. Vtoman were brilliant. It arrived next day with a gift also offered to recognise inconvenience. Thank you Vtoman. Things can go wrong but the mark of a good supplier is how they fix problems. In this case all fixed perfectly and simply through Amazon messaging. Very impressed by first trial of solar panels with Vtoman power station, ready for holidays now!

Downside, heavy and a lot of flexibility which makes it not the easiest to stand up. Positive, good charge rate, getting 330w even though sun is not that high in the sky as only April. Bought a stand to put it on, which makes it a lot easier.

I originally bought the wrong one for my battery. Customer services noticed this and contacted me before dispatch, so had the correct one. Well done.Heavier and larger than I expected.

Perfect

UK in march isn't very warm or bright but I was getting about 330w out of these. If I put them flat on the roof of my van around 250w.I expect in the summer I will get more, but more than happy with this so far.Be warned the vs400 panel is large and heavy. Folds down nicely though. Kickstands are slightly awkward due to the bulk.Basically only paid just over £200 for these as part of a bundle deal plus a money off voucher. Cracking price.

After ordering solar panel and power station from vtoman was accused of theft..delivery driver only dropped off power station and shrugged off questions about second parcel..asked amazon to look into what had happened and after a series of question and answers found our selves not being believed..amazon then said both parcels were signed for and said it must of been stolen afterwards..contacted vtoman who said parcel was still in transit and it arrived a couple of days later but was delivered by parcel force and not amazon..vtoman then offered a freeby as way of a sorry for inconveince..GREAT customer service from vtoman but very poor by amazon..still early days as to the use of both items but so far so good..PLEASE BEWARE OF WHAT YOU SIGN FOR AND ALWAYS CHECK THE CONTENTS..amazon has a very dodgy system which can be abused by its delivery persons and you wont be believed if you dont get all you have ordered

I purchased this solar panel as a backup to my allpowers 100w solar panel. The price was extremely good with the generous discount voucher applied.The first thing that struck me was the weight of the item. Which is significantly heavier than the allpowers portable 100w solar panel. Considering the quality of the caseing and the moulded plastic magnetised handles and the quality of the monocyrstalline solar panels that definetly feel more robust than it's competitor, I am not surprised it's heavier. Though I wouldn't want to walk a long distance with it due to existing injury.NB:- Please note the American version has an usb port within the pouch...sadly our UK version DOES NOT have it. I saw a US video and purchased based on that feature. While disappointed, I don't regret my purchase.Tested today indoors hanging from a window handle in winter sun. It did trickle charge quickly adding 2% charge to the battery - considering my window is in a shady area and sun was intermittent I cannot complain. I don't have a private garden so somewhat reluctant to advertise my kit but will do another test outside and edit my review.So far so good...

I bought the panels extra to the 1800W power station that was with solar panels. Made from very good materials, works well together with the other set of solar panels. The efficiency is better than most solar panels on roofs. If only it could be 4 season panels, once attached to a house and forgotten... After all, the panels are made to be used in different ways.

Add On as AMAZON is not allowing me to add this review to the item itself still and to their latest model VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500 Portable Power Station 1500W (3000W Peak)This is for their latest power bank VTOMAN FlashSpeed1500 which I have now for several monthsFor me it is a game changer! I got it mainly to run my travel trailer (boondocking/ off grid) as it has a huge capacity of 1548Wh and it can be fully charged from 0% to 100% in under an hour.I charged it several times at home in little under an hour using the regular wall outlet but I was really impressed when charging it with my Champion Gas Generator because it went up toaround 1700W charging so it was full even faster.It has pass through charging which means while charging the battery with the generator during the day and it runs my travel trailer same time.I can even use it to keep my trailer battery charged during the winter with a separate 12V battery charger.I work from my travel trailer sometimes and with my setup (trailer attached, 12V fridge running, 2x 27in screens, laptop, speaker and charging my phone) it draws around 160Watts so technically I can runeverything for about 9hrs straight without any solar input.I had a setup with my JUMP1800 be charged via solar and as it is pass through as well I had this battery pack attached for charging while my trailer was attached. With the 2x 100Wpanels I got around 175Watts under full sun.I have a RAM1500 truck with power outlet inside so can charge it while driving with up to 300W (empty to full in around 5hrs), with 12V car adapter I guessit would take more than 10hrs (I think it goes up to 120Watts max charging)Have not tested solar charging yet as it requires minimum of 30V (most panels are around19V) but it can take up to 400W charging so would technically take about 3-4 hrsto charge under good sunlight and the right panel/ panels.It can also be used during blackouts as it can easily run a refrigerator, lights, my TV or radio, Laptop and even a space heater if needed (if it runs on 750Watts up to 2hours straight).I also tried my microwave and it worked at 1100W.It can also charge multiple devices via different USB ports at the same time like my phones, tablet, flashlights or smaller battery packs andat the same time my camera equipment and drone. Or all of the above together when needed.It comes with an AC charging cable (direct wall to power bank connection NO more adapter in between) , USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-A to USB-C cable as well as a 12V car charging cable.All the cables and the user manual fit into the compartment on top of the battery.On the back there is a LED lightbar with 3 settings/ brightness and SOS feature.I had a few questions at the beginning and customer support/ John there is awesome.I am a hobby photographer, pictures and the video I took myself at home. Travel/ Camping season over for this year but already planning 2024 trips and both battery packswill go with me for sure!Pro’s- Extremely sturdy build- High capacity of around 1548Wh- Super fast charging in under an hour- 3x 115V outlets- 6 different USB outlets- 12V outlet- Flat top with integrated storage compartment for cables- Great customer support- 24 months warrantyCon’s- Display only showing capacity and Wattage and which ports are active, no remaining time.It is also a little darker than the one on my JUMP1800 and harder to read under full sun- Solar input 30V minimumVTOMAN Jump 1800 Portable Power Station 1800W/1548Wh bundle with 2x 100W solar panel (review from April and I am still extremely happy with it)These two 100W panels came as a package with the VTOMAN Jump 1800 Portable Power Station/ Portable Battery. Both panels are very sturdy build and easy to handle. After ordering on Amazon the package arrived in only a few days. As I can't put a review in here for the Battery Pack I do it in here.Everything was extremely well packed. It only took a few minutes to unpack and get it ready for the first test (setup see picture). Bought in in March 2023 so the sun was not as high as it is now but I still got more than 90 Watts out of each panel. Both together created between 175Watts and 183Watts. Highest I got out of both was 189Watts. As it is a1800Watt battery pack it takes more than 8 hours to charge from zero to full with the solar panels but for what I use them in my travel trailer they produce more energy than I need during the day (full sun).I had the battery pack hooked up directly to the main power plug of my travel trailer (with adapter). It is a pass through charging so the panels provided enough energy to charge the battery itself and my laptop, a 12V fan and the 12V fridge.I had a few questions at the beginning and customer support was very responsive.Pro's/ Panels (100W)- very sturdy- generating more than 90 Watts under good condition- easy handling, setup and storagePro's/ Battery Pack (1800W)- 3 110V power outlets- 2 Dual PD 100W Type-C ports- 4 USB A ports- Jumper cable port (cable is a separate purchase)- Easy to read display- super easy setup/ installation.- separate tool bag with everything needed for setup and you can store additional adapters if neededCon's:- limited to max of 200Watts charging power (I was told they work on an update/ uprgrade to improve that)- not really a con but it having a handle bar on each side instead of one in the middle would be great so you can place things (phone or other) or another battery on top.The new version has that and is a a "1hr charging" now!Overall I am very happy with my purchase and hope for many summers of usage in my travel trailer

As advertised

First of all, the solar panel came very fast. I emediately opened the package to make sure everything was ok. The "suitcase" cover is easy to carry, and seems to be very sturdy. On the back of the panel is a zippered compartment that houses the different connectors and the wiring that connects from the panel to the generator. When I opened the compartment, the plastic box that covered the wiring attached to the panel was broken, and the wiring was exposed. I emediately contacted Amazon, and they put me in touch with the seller. They asked me to send pictures to them of the damage. It took me a day to get the pictures to them, and within 5 days I had a new panel (it took 5 days because it was on a Friday, and I got the new panel the next Tuesday).Now, as to the panel, I am very pleased with it as well.I purchased the 1500 watt generator as well, and it came 75% charged, so I decided to fully charge it using the 100wat panel, which took 5 hours, but it was very cloudy, and I had to keep moving the panel into the sunlight to get it to charge. When it WAS in the sun, it was charging at 80%. I like the fact that there is 3 ways to charge the generator.

The packaging was severely damaged, but the panel seemed to work as advertised.
