Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lowersun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States. View Larger About Amorphous Solar Power Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon on to glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. Sunforce amorphous solar panels are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, require virtually no maintenance, and are also effective on cloudy days. Solar cells convert sunlight into an electric current; they do not actually store power. The Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger is designed to maintain an existing battery charge, and not to fully recharge a battery. It can remain connected to a vehicle battery at all times and will not adversely affect its operation or electrical components. Unless the trickle charger is permanently mounted, you should remove and store it to prevent physical harm while the vehicle is in motion.

Reviews

I bought the solar planel in hopes that it would supply enough power to my battery to keep it from dying. Well. Without the solar panel my car sterio among other things would have my battery completely drained. I went out yesterday and two weeks later the car started right up. Keep in mind this charger will not charge your battery from completely dead. It will however keep your battery from dying as fast. I'm impressed!

My Sunforce 5 watt trickle charger is used to keep up a battery on my travel trailer while is sits not being used. It works great and does just what I wanted it to do. As far as the company I bought it from, it got here promply and is just what they said it was.

The Sunforce 50022 5W amorphous solar panel is fantastic. Rugged, exceeded all of the manufacturer's claims, and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this because I have a '99 dodge dakota that I only use sparingly. At most once a week, but usually it sits 10-12 days between use. With the drain of the theft system I would always have to give it a jump to get it going, or put the battery on a charger the night before. Now I can just hop in and go. It keeps my battery fully charged. I just put it on the dash when I park it. I live in northern Michigan, so I am not blessed with the most sunlight, but it's enough. Amazon, get rid of the blister pack!

I have had this for over a year and it has held up like a champ though I do worry at times about breaking it as there is no protection for the glass covering the photoelectric cells. The only reason this is not a five star review is the way Sunforce handles internet orders. Instead of allowing you to place your order with your credit card like any intelligent company does you have to send your contact information and they contact you. **This defeats the whole purpose of having an online ordering option, Sunforce!** Worse they say that they will contact you the next business day and instead waited until early the day after that to contact me and the person I talked too didn't understand why having it set up this way was stupid. All I wanted was to order a replacement part for one that was broke by accident not to talk to a salesman who would likely try to get me to order stuff I didn't need. I lucked out and found a local place to get a replacement from but Sunforse really needs to fix their online ordering system.
