Is this solar panel waterproof?
- Yes, BougeRV 120 Watts Portable Foldable Solar Panel complies with the IP67 standard dustproof and waterproof (main body panel part), do not install it in water or frequently submerged places.
What is the difference between 5BB and 9BB?
- The most difference in mainly, 9BB is more efficient, less heat, more longevity.
- The bus bar more thin, the total surface the cells occupied is larger, the more power produced. Through increase the number of the bus bar and reduce the total surface the bus bar occupied, internal resistance and the heat during solar panel working has been reduced greatly. With less internal resistance and less heat, the longevity of 9BB solar panel is promoted substantially than 5BB solar panel.
What causes the low output power or no output during the use of solar panels? How can I solve it?
- The output power of solar panels is mainly affected by light intensity, light angle, and shadow occlusion during the use of solar panels. Therefore, during daily use, the angle of illumination must be adjusted to prevent shadows, and the obstructions on the solar panel must be cleaned regularly, such as bird droppings, dust, and garbage. Such obstructions may cause the solar panel to not output at all.
- 【 9BB & 23.5% High Efficient】Mono solar panel of 9 busbar solar cells, shows stronger current collection ability which can provide high conversion efficiency up to 23.5%. The narrower busbar space and more cells receiving surface brings lower kilowatt-hour cost and increase the output of the PV module. the smaller chamfer design increases the area of each cell, which greatly improves the charging effect.
- 【Lighter & Portable】The volume and weight of foldable solar panels with suitcase design are smaller than the 5 busbar of the same spec, after folding is only 25.59*20.07*1.96 inches, easy to store and carry. Made of Ultralight material（PET）, only weighs 10.36 lb. The corner protection design of the frame and the spring loaded butterfly twist latch buckle can protect the solar panel when you use or store the panel.
- 【Durable & Waterproof】BougeRV foldable Solar panels with 9 busbar solar cells have much lower hot spot temperature which can bring lower annual power attenuation and a longer lifespan than the market average level. The waterproof design of the solar panel meets IP67 standards and requirements,fit for different weather conditions: rain, tempest, ideal for outdoor activities: Camping, hiking. Also, the solar panel protective case can prevent dust or other dirt from damaging the panel.

9-way comparison, as compared to similar panels (both soft and hard folding)Update (1/8/22): Additional observations: 1) Nylon case is well made and good protection, 2) BougeRV is made in VIETNAM, 3) the wire gauge between panels and to the MC4 connectors is probably 16 AWG, which is too small in my opinion (10-12 AWG would be much better), 4) each panel is bypass diode protected (so if one panel gets shaded, you’ll still get 1/2 power), 5) the stand brackets were loose (apparently from incomplete assembly, see below for more details), 6) the stand legs range of adjustment is quite limited (approximately 60 degrees, +/- 5).Updated Recommendation: A) The screws that hold all of the brackets was not only loose, but the thread tolerance was very loose. You can add thread locking compound, or an alternate method (that I used) was to add telfon tape to the threads. B) If your geographic location needs less inclination on the panels, reversing the legs might allow a lower elevation (I will test this out and update the review).Summary: Recently reviewed some larger, higher end solar panels (100W or larger), so will be comparing this 120W BOGUERV those. The 200W ATEM fixed panels weigh the most at 22 pounds (including a small MPPT controller, others are panels only). The 200W ROCKPALS is the most expensive, but features dual 18/36-volt outputs, via Anderson PowerPole (APP) connectors, and weighs 18.3 lbs. The Progeny 120W has APP connectors, and weighs slightly less than the ALLPOWERS at 9.2 pounds. The 100W BougeRV is the lowest output, and has XT60 connectors (very heavy duty, 60A), and weighs 10.4 lbs. This ATEM features 50A APP connectors. I have these panels interconnected in 36-volt pairs (two 18-volt in series), which are fed to a MPPT charge controller, into a 24-volt AGM battery bank.Observations (PANELS): The one thing I really like about the PowerECO, 100W folding, hard panel, is that it does not sag. The 200W ATEM is a similar hard folding panel. This 120W BOGUERV Is a semi-hard, suitcase style as well. One other benefit is that these feature a thick flexible wire between the two panels, whereas the others have a thin wire, which typically goes across the joint, which makes it subject to damage (except the BougeRV, which has the handles at the top vs. the sides). One other heavy duty feature is the output cables and connectors, which are 10-12 AWG, and MC4 (standard solar) connectors. The worst design is the typical 5.5×2.1mm DC connector, which limits the output current for a 100W panel (less would be okay, but still not ideal). This panel does not have the ability to directly charge USB (same as the ATEM, ALLPOWER, and PowerECO).Recommendation: When it comes to PV/Solar panels, there are polycrystalline and monocrystalline; poly is lower cost but less efficient, and mono is more expensive, but also more efficient. For fixed (home) panels, the general cost is $1/Watt; so this 120W panel at $220, is $1.83/watt, which is average cost.Pros: Decent fit & finish; heavy duty output cables and MC4 connectors. Industry standard Voc (open circuit voltage), and Isc (short circuit current) specified on the product page. BOGUERV does appear to be a solar product company (specialty).Neutral: Does not have a built-in USB port (actually a positive for me, but some customers want to be able to plug in a device directly).Cons: Cost $220 for 120W ($1.83/watt), ATEM is $1.50/watt (same style).Conclusion: At $220 for 120W, rating this 4-stars (cost). I can recommend this BOGUERV hard folding panel, over the soft/flexible ones, if that fits your application.Related Products:HARD / SUITCASE STYLE1) BougeRV 120W Foldable ~ $220 ($1.83/watt)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F9NT8KF2) ATEM POWER 200W Monocrystalline, Portable Solar Suitcase ~ $300 ($1.50/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BJB1L8C3) LENSUN Innovative 110W 12V Foldable Solar Panel Suitcase, $230 ($2.09/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T5SL2B14) PowerECO 100W Lightweight Portable Solar Panel Kit with 20A ~ $315 (~$2.50/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PBDRYV5FLEXIBLE / BENDABLE STYLE:1) ATEM POWER Monocrystalline Solar Panel Flexible ~ $135 ($1.35/watt)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BJFSZFHFOLDING STYLE:ALLPOWERS Portable Solar Panel Charger 200W ~ $290 (1.45/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09725M32ZBougeRV 100W Mono Portable Solar Panel ~ $180 ($1.80/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094FCBSPCPROGENY 120W Portable Solar Panel ~ $250 ($2.10/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0969Y2KLWROCKPALS Portable Solar Panel 200W 18V/36V ~ $500 ($2.50/watt)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YK59JNJCONTROLLERS:VICTRON ENERGY MPPT 100V 20 amp 12-24-Volt (Bluetooth) ~ $160 (5-star)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075NPQHQK

Don’t buy thisWhen I received it the panels didn’t work I returned them and got a way better set for slightly more money don’t waste your money on this
Amazon Customer –
Not the 120 watts as advertisedThe solar panel surface came scratched up although it was shipped in a carry case and box that were not damaged. This panel is not producing anywhere near the 120 watts advertised as I’m maxing out at 36 watts on a completely cloudless day under the beating Florida sun. I expected better from this panel based on the company’s reputation and the price paid.
shane –
great little panelproducts folds up nicely comes with industry standard Mc4 connections. nice plastic protective corners and aluminum frame. the bag seems well made and durable it has a carry handle as well. no problem folding up extra cables and adapters maybe even a controller inside for storage.

WELL BUILTThe suite case panel arrived in good condition. It was well packed by both RV and the manufacturer. It came with a good quality protective case that holds both the panels and has a pouch to hold wiring.The legs are sturdy and easy to set up and variably position to get an optimum angle on the sunlight. It was cloudy today so I did not get a good read on the power output. This design combines the strength of metal framing with the portability of a light weight folding panel. I look forward to getting another one when they are available.

Impressed in Couldy Seattle!I could not find reviews that spoke to watts achieved on this solar panel, nor did I believe many of these reviews were not paid hype – so I took a chance to purchase and this is my review – I am so impressed!On an intermittent, cloudy day today in February in Seattle, just shy of 1pm, this solar panel achieved a varying 97-105 watts. Wow! On a sunny, summer day this thing will far exceed my expectations, yet it already has done so today.The watts achieved are right on par with the ~10% loss that the factory specifies will average for the marketed watts on this panel (120 watts x 0.90 = 108 watts). This is a very efficient solar panel folks! I’m sure on a sunny, summer day it will be more than 108 watts if I peaked at 105 watts today.I wanted a light, portable, compact, foldable solar panel that would not be less than 100 watts on average. This is the one! It’s also waterproof, has a great case, and a sturdy metal kickstand. Very well made.I have three critiques: 1) I needed to tighten and adjust the kickstand screws, and clean the panel from fingerprints and gunk from the factory. 2) This is pricy for the advertised watts when comparing other brands, but it honestly delivers and outweighs in quality and watts achieved. 3) My first order arrived USED and damaged on multiple counts, which RV quickly and seamlessly replaced. I don’t know who was to blame for that (e.g. RV or the factory). So, be aware – inspect your panel for any signs of being used or damaged.After speaking with the factory, it seems the mishap was not them.An upgraded model does come out near July 2022. Updates are worth waiting for, but I will still keep mine as it is just fine.
