Pros & Cons

Pros

Hqst 100 watt flexible solar panel is just what i needed. Panel width 21. Inches. Easily charged both group 27 deep cell batteries on my sailboat. Will charge the battery by 1 or 2 pm each day.

The hqst looks almost new physically and produces about 60 to 70 watts in the best case. It was packaged very well. Framed models have such a good track record for longevity. The panel seems to be made well, in that i feel confident i will be able to ... Read More

Hq solar’s service is impeccable. Runs fridge great. Sunny again and doing a great job keeping fridge running. No more baby-sitting a noisy generator.

Here is how these arrays are faring. I have them permanently affixed to aluminum trailer. They easily adhere to the contour of the bimini top and do not sag the fabric.

Cons

The controller is cheap and the meter was even worse. The quality of manufacture is extremely poor.

Under extensive load testing these panels never tested at or near their stated wattage production. Never put out close to 100w, more like about 60-65 w max. It produces voltage but no current which leads me to believe it's an internal fault within the... Read More

This is a huge drag because i've been very cautious with this panel and prevented any bowing from occurring. Panels seam to expand when hot and contract when cold so very difficult to attach. When it cools it forms 3 inch pitch or bumps in certain sec... Read More

Failed after 11 months. They fade and then the protective film erodes, then the panels fail. The pathetic 1 yr.

The warranty on this panel is much shorter than the traditional panels. Attractive, but lasted exactly 11 months from installation. It all took a nose dive shortly after 12 months. The warranty is good for only one year.

Highlights

Quality

I found this panel is extremely durable and very efficient

It is a rock solid unit with great documentation and configuration flexibility

Recently one of the panels developed a “hot spot” sort of a burn hole approximately 2cm in diameter that rendered the panel useless

The panels backing do warp in the heat after a day or two

Price

Definitely buy the warranty since its not too expensive

Chosen because of its reasonable price per watt flexduraibility light weight and reduce risk of personal injury should it fall ... Read More

I could not afford to take a chance on another because if it was also bad i would be unable to recover before the race started

Cant beat the price per watt for this bundle

Shipping

Received quickly works as anticipated thanks

I sent hq solar an email with a photo of the problem and they promptly sent me a brandnew replacement panel at absolutely no charge

But they responded quickly and got it to me

Received a cracked one and these guys shipped a replacement one right out to

Packaging/appearance

Packaging was excellent with foam and cardboard edge protectors and double boxed

Cells were packed well and work perfectly

I feared the worst when i opened the package

The box seemed pretty beat up when it arrived

Competitiveness

I installed one of these panels on my sailboat cabintop and ofe of another brand suaoki on my dodger

I am not sure if the sauoki is even available anymore but it did give me a good compare opportunity and allowed me to see what ... Read More
