The package was damaged, though the product was not. It is sent in one layer of bubble wrap encompassing the panels inside a carboard box that the panels and wrap are snug within. I'd like to see a little more protection for the panels in case USPS or UPS gets a little frisky in the handling, though the product is very sturdy so it can probably take some abuse.
Only one suggestion to make this product perfect would be to have the cables to be fully removable instead of it being attached to the panels.
PROS
- Good charging efficiency. Most panels should expect between 50-75% charging of the stated wattage
--- In my testing on a sunny, California fall day, I got about 68W. This is a respectable amount considering that the sun is weaker during the spring than summer.
--- Panels are mono-crystalline and are currently the most efficient of technologies among consumer solar charging
- Foldable design makes the panel portable, easy to stow, and protected from dust
- Built-in kickstand to help prop the panel towards the sun at a 45 degree angle for better sun exposure
- Can charge battery-based generators with up to 18V/6.6A input
- 2 built-in USB charging ports (USB-C and a QuickCharge 3.0)
- Cable with adapter plugs included (and can be stored in the built-in, zippered pouch)
-- Can be used to charge battery stations from various brands, including: Paxcess, Rockpals, Suaoki, Jackery
--- Even though Goal Zero and Jackery use an 8mm connector, they are not interchangeable because of the varying, exposed lengths between both companies
--- Product photo shows the 8mm connector working with both Jackery and Goal Zero, but that is partially incorrect as stated above
- Though not stated, likely has IPX3 water resistance for outdoor use. See TIPS section for more info
- Rubber handle on one end allows the panel to be hung to an object, such as a tree
--- 2 corner holes allow the panel to be strapped with rope and/or carabiners
- LED light indicates whether the panels are charging
- Priced much lower than Goal Zero, but in line with other brands
- Circuitry to prevent against reverse charging, overloading, and more
CONS
- Large (but not too heavy) at about 10 lbs and a folded 21" x 14" x 1", though this is equivalent to other panels of this capacity
- No built-in battery to store some of the charge generated by the panel
- Can be considered expensive for casual campers/hikers
- 1-year warranty
TIPS/NOTES
- Solar lifespan: Panels generally die/become inefficient between 25-30 years
- Solar panels work best outdoor under full, exposed sun
--- Although they will work under the shade or behind windows, charging efficiency is greatly diminished
--- Panels will STILL charge under cloudy conditions. So, keep the panels out even if you do not see the sun
- ALL panels must be uncovered to generate a charge
--- Do not completely cover one or more panels or the charging will stop
- To maintain solar efficiency, the panels should be kept clean
--- Remove dust with a soft brush and wipe with a damp (NOT wet) cloth
--- Any residue, such as tree sap, should be removed as soon as possible
- Keep the charging controller dry. It is NOT water resistant!
--- Keep it away from wet areas or outdoors
--- Mount to a fixture with the cables facing down
--- Should be as close to the batteries as possible, but keep it 14" away
--- Should have a 4" clearance in ALL directions (top, bottom, sides) to ensure adequate air circulation
- Though it is not stated, the panels are likely IPX3 water rated: Capable of taking water sprays of up to 60 degree angles or less
--- Keep panel away from water that spray at greater than 60 degree angles
--- Keep panel away from low-pressure (or stronger) water jet spray
--- Do not submerge the panel under water
--- Panels will work longer if they are kept away from water altogether
- Operating temperature range: -4F to 122F (-20C to 50C)
- Do NOT bend the panels more than 30 degrees or risk breaking them!
- Keep the panels away from fires and heaters
- Do NOT disconnect any cables while the battery station or solar panel is on. Fold closed the panels first (to cut off solar charging) before disconnecting the cable
CHARGING TIME
- To calculate how much Wattage a device uses: Voltage x Amperage
--- For example, if a vacuum is 120V and 9.5A, its Wattage is 1,140W (120 x 9.5)
- To calculate how long a 100W battery bank or generator would need to charge via solar panel: 100 W / (Panel Wattage x [0.5 or 0.75])
--- In a perfect lab environment, solar panels charge at the indicated wattage (ie. 80 W). Outdoors, expect to only receive 50-75% on a good, sunny day (ie. 40 W – 60 W)
--- For example, if a solar panel is rated for 80W, it could take as fast as 1.67 hours [100 W / (80 W x 0.75)] to charge, depending on environmental conditions and the panel's age
Overall, the Paxcess 120W solar panel is expected to charge decently well, but I am unfortunately not able to fully push them to the limit because it is fall/winter time. In the summer, I expect the panels to provide as much as 100W of output to a battery station capable of accepting that capacity. With a thoughtful design, features, and additional accessories, the Paxcess 120W is a decent buy.

In the summer, I expect the panels to provide as much as 100W of output to a battery station capable of accepting that capacity. With a thoughtful design, features, and additional accessories, the Paxcess 120W is a decent buy.
It arrived in what I would describe as Amazon's frustration free packaging - thin brown box with very little markings/verbiage. The box was riddled with holes and smashed corners - thought I would be returning it due to damage and was assuming that maybe this was why it was cheap.
However, after opening, the panel appeared to be OK despite the packaging.
The panel has been used primarily for charging a bibene portable power station (occasionally direct smart phone / tablet charging). Based on a multimeter and the bibene I average around 90 watts across the different seasons here in the north east USA - which is what I would expect for a 120 rated panel.
It has stood up well, and I am interested in purchasing another if it gets back to what I paid for it.
Have no experience on serial or parallel connectivity which I believe is possible.
Using the bibene to power a Massimo cooler, lights, and charge smart devices and the paxcess to charge the bibene has worked very well for multi-day car/truck based camping excursions.
