Sunforce 50033 Report


Sunforce 50033 Review by Dwnundrguy

Works as described. Handy to get the charge controller with the panel. If you are just using it in a set-it-and-forget-it application to keep a battery topped up, it should work great and you can stop reading here. If you are using it for a frequent use application or want a quick charge, I think you may want more juice and may want to consider the multipanel unit. If that is the case, the following may be of interest.

I have seen reviews with varying performance from these units. After buying this I additionally purchased the 60W kit(4 panels exactly like this one). Of the 5 panels I now have, the best 3 I can get around 1 Amp in strong unobstructed sun angled directly at the sun (per my $6 multimeter), and the other 2 seem to top out at around .7-.8 Amps. In combination however the result is not quite the sum of the individual. I get a max of about 2A out of 3 panels or about 2.7 out of 4. Charge controller drop seems to be about .2 A, and the rest is probably due to sun angle. Perhaps with brighter sun or better angle to the sun perhaps my 3 best panels would exceed 1A each and the other 2 would be closer to the 1A mark. Has been fun experimenting.


Sunforce 50033 Review by Glenn W. Gaarder

Hi- I bought this set-up to keep my Motorhome charged when not using it. It is only 15 watts so can barely keep the battery up to charge if I am actually using any lights or other stuff but it will keep up with the draw of the refridgerator and minimal stuff. My only beef is the controller wires could have all been pre-terminated with connectors rather than having me do that. This was bought as a kit so it would have been nice if there was a connector on the input side of the controller that mated witht he connector on teh solar panel and a different style connector on the output that would be compatible with the cigarette-lighter adapter, etc. In other words- all set up to just plug in and go.

Once I soldered and shrinkwrapped the new connectors on I'm pretty happy with it. Not everyone has the ability to properly terminate the wires.

Thanks

The solar panel box has label that says that the controller is included. IT IS NOT. You're better
off buying the panel and controller separately instead of going through the hassle with customer service.
