Maybe I missed this amongst all the pages in the thread, but what's the wattage output (given ideal conditions of course) of the three panel set?

my blob was probably thicker then the 2 junction boxes on top of the side panels. so yea i had a big ass blob.

That sucks. Hope you get it taken care of. I have been running my Jackery as pass through for two days on the beach to power my fridge. Beer still cold as I type this from my rtt.

they replied saying they are working on the new panel, and will have it in 10 days or so. if this is the case, i have to say i am very impressed with their r&d department and efficiency. I just don't know what they were thinking to release the first panel the way they did..

Yeah they're sending me a new one with the junction box on top. They're also sending some new vinyl (was sized incorrectly).

Looks like 3 20 watt panels…

Update on my end, fried my Jackery power station by plugging it directly into the panels (prolly cuz I have them wired in series). Will try to figure out a way to charge it by plugging into the power controller even though it’s redundant.

This is my fault. They recommend parallel. I did series b/c don’t have to use bigger gauge wire and series has better chance of “delivering usable power in cloudy conditions” as explained to me by someone smarter. I might switch it, not sure yet….

Parallel increases amperage, series increases voltage; you had no way of actually accepting the higher voltage without a solar controller.
You need to run your panels into a solar controller then into your Jackery or whatever is storing power.

Yup. You are correct. I am not an electrician.
