Not much info on this particular panel but it brings the price down to <40c/Watt which is very cheap

Read the negative feedback before buying- https://www.ebay.com.au/fdbk/feedback_profile/ecogreenenergy…
Definitely not 250w at .75m2, probably 120w roughly as its foldable panel.. but it’s alright for the price I guess
My calculations make it about a 150W panel. Which, yes, makes that a reasonable price.
This is what all of them do on ebay. They exaggerate the output, but charge a fair price for what the output actually is. Once one of them exaggerates the output of what they are selling they all have to to compete.
I went 150w then changed to 120w after calculating the kings 120w blanket which is almost exact same m2 dims.
But yeh I got stung many years ago with a ‘160w’ panel which was only an 80w eBay special, was only $30 but I’d rather be able to know
I don't trust these foldable panels anymore. I've been through 2 in 3 years. They keep losing power output till it's basically just a trickle charge that barely powers a power bank.
They start out fine but just degrade terribly. I found a second hand glass panel and it's like night and day.
Absolutely no way this puts out 250w
This eBay store also sell a 12V 380W Solar Panel inc delivery for $116 after discounts. If this 380W is real (and I highly doubt it) then that is only $0.305 per watt.
I worked at a store called Going Solar back in the late 1990's and we would sell solar panels for around $10 per watt.
The Rainbow Power Company would sell them for between $8-$9 per watt. Which would make this panel between $3,040 to $3,800 from either store.
Of course back in the 1990's the largest panel was around 80W and you would have to pay for delivery also.
Back in the 1990's the University of NSW had made advances in thin film solar technology that we were told could reduce the price of solar panels
down to $1 per watt in the next decade or two, well now you can buy them for around 70 or 80c per watt from more reputable sellers,
or 30c per watt from dodgy sellers such as ecogreenenergy!
Be mindful the seller only has 94% feedback … and it's very unlikely this is anywhere near 250w…
lol @ the specs:
Current Rating: Greater Than 10 A
Current Output: 10 A or Less
(edit: with no other specs supplied… 'less than 10amp output" = 10amp x 13.8v = 1380w, so it's probably less than half their claimed 250w)
