Want a super portable and durable solar panel for camping, RVing, or just life on the go? This might be the one. Let’s find out.
In this video, I will unbox and review a 50W semi flexible solar panel from Chinese manufacturer Lensun. This panel is nice looking, is protected by ETFE, has a fiberglass backing, and weighs less than 5 pounds. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it to produce anywhere near its rated power and it does cost more than traditional framed 50W panels.
