Goal Zero Nomad 200 Watt Monocrystalline Portable Folding Solar Panel with Kickstand

The Nomad100 packed easily in the back of the car. It is easy to set up and connect to the Yeti and as we have had full sun when I needed to use it, I was able to keep the Yeti at full charge for 7 hours. The Nomad was delivering 52WH and the device plugged into the Yeti was drawing that amount. It is a great, if a bit pricy, option for a generator and necessary since many of the outdoor events I go to have started to ban fuel operated generators. Everyone at the last show thought this was brilliant.

The panel arrived promptly and the shipping packaging well protected it. Upon arrival, I connected the panel to my Sherpa 100AC. The solar panel worked fenomenal, it was a full sunny day, and I was able to obtain 52 watts (for a panel that was rated up to 50 watts). During overcast days I was able to get up to 42 watts from the panel, which imo it is still very good. The panel is more expensive than similar solar panels, but the quality and workmanship is second to none!

I used Goal Zero for a 1,500-mile, 75-day solo canoe and kayak expedition. (PaddleQuest 1500) The equipment performed so well that I upgraded for a recent Everglades circumnavigation expedition. Keeping the Venture 75 on charge all day, even with filtered sunlight gave me the juice necessary to keep navigation, communication and lights topped off. It's good to venture into the wilderness confident in my essential equipment!

Excellent product works well when camping. A little heavy though. Better when using a car to get on site

My wife and I now have four Nomad 50's. They fold up small enough that they are easy to tuck in when we boondock or go to our off-grid cabin. We use three to keep our Yeti fully topped up, and one for our 12v. trailer battery maintainer. I like the rugged construction and the ability to stand them on the ground with the fold out legs, or hang them, or lay them on the windshield of our truck. Very versatile.

I bought this a month ago and so far so good it charges my yeti 120 and so far it's been pretty slick 50!

It's good, while hunting I would set it up in the morning facing south and get back and my Yeti 500 would be at 30% and it would charge to 90%. Even in blue sky high elevation Colorado input was in 70s add extension cord and would drop to 60s

I recently bought my second goal zero solar charger device with panels. They are light weight and come in a heavy duty denier cloth carrying case. everything on the panels are color coded to match up with the charger. Although I have not used my device yet as we are getting a ton of rain here in FL. I am sure that when I do have a half decent day to charge things up they will work just fine as have all my other Goal Zero units. Keep up the great work y'all!!

I can't write a review because I can't hook it up. The piece I need to link my panels together is out of stock. How about working on getting me up and running instead of gathering reviews

I really wanted these panels to work. Great ideas, but when I put the panels out in direct sunlight I got no current to the charging device. Lights lit up like it was working but no juice going out of the usb plug or 8 mm plug.
