Convenient Power That Helps You Save Money and Protect the Environment
The Sunforce 39810 80-Watt High-Efficiency Polycrystalline Solar Panel Module lets you harness the power of the sun, the most powerful and plentiful source of energy available to us. This inexhaustible supply of power is freely available wherever the sun shines, and gives users the freedom to power their homes, RVs, boats, batteries, and electronic equipment far from civilization or right in town. Solar power can help cut your energy bills by reducing your dependence on the main electrical grid, and can also provide back-up power during outages. Unlike nuclear and fossil fuels, solar power systems are clean and pollution-free, and they require very little maintenance to operate.
 Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lower sun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States. View Larger |
Flexible Power for New or Existing Systems
The Sunforce 39810 80-Watt High-Efficiency Polycrystalline Solar Panel Module is an ideal addition to both new and existing solar power systems. It comes with a voltage tester, wiring and mounting accessories to make installation easy. These solar panels can be used individually, or they can be connected together to boost power output.
Sunforce High-Efficiency Polycrystalline Solar Panels must be connected to a compatible charge controller (sold separately). The charge controller prevents the solar panel from overcharging and damaging connected batteries or electrical systems. It also prevents reverse current from sapping your battery strength at night. Sunforce High-Efficiency Polycrystalline Solar Panels can be connected in parallel for 12-Volt systems, or in series for 24- and 32-Volt applications. Please ensure that the components being used in your system are compatible with the individual and total output voltage of your solar panels.
About Polycrystalline Solar Power
Polycrystalline silicon is a material consisting of thin wafers that are cut from a silicon crystal which has grown in several directions. This advanced surface texturing process provides polycrystalline solar panels with a higher power output than amorphous panels of the same dimensions, and makes them more cost and space-effective. These individual wafers are assembled into panels that are covered by durable, weatherproof tempered glass. Thanks to their efficiency and durability, these solar panels require virtually no maintenance once installed. This solar panel has a maximum power output of 80-Watts/4.67-Amps.
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current; they do not actually store power. Sunforce Solar Power Panels are primarily used to recharge all types of 12-Volt batteries, including lead-acid automotive batteries, deep-cycle (traction type) batteries, gel-cell batteries, and heavy-duty (stationary type) batteries. When using these solar panels to run appliances on a regular basis, the use of deep-cycle marine batteries is recommended. This type of battery is designed to withstand the frequent charge and discharge cycles associated with solar panel use.

This product works great it provides me with enough power to keep in touch with the outside world.
Rating: 4 / 5
80 Watts/4.67 Amps = 17 volts.
Be sure to size your system appropriately to minimize voltage drop to your inverter.
Sunforce isnt the cheapest, but still a good price and a nice, solid product with a 25-year warranty.
Note: GET A SOLAR SURVEY – you might not qualify for any tax rebates if you dont get one!
Also do the math yourself. If you live on the 43rd paralell and get 4.4 sun hours per day average, do NOT place these at 43 degrees! Tilt them closer to the SUMMER sun angle. You’ll get more sun in summer and less in winter, but you arent getting much in winter anyways! You’ll get more yearly output (or get a tracker and not do any math)
The technology is getting better; cheaper manufacturing processes and better spectrum band as well as improvements leading to higher efficiencies. If you want better stuff, I dont know how “long” you should wait. It can only get so good, the potput isnt going to duble or anything. Laws of physics

Took the panel to Death Valley for a few days to charge my trailer battery and while I ran laptop and iPod stereo for hours during the night, it quickly recharged the battery the next morning. Built a solid stand/rack to keep it upright using pvc pipe that’s easy to disassemble, secure and lock. At 80 watts, it’s just one panel where some 65watt units have 3 panels.

I purchased 4 of these solar panels. They were easy to setup, and have been working just fine for the last month. They have been operating at near the specified 80 watts each which is pretty good for December in Utah.

As my first venture into solar energy this has been a nice panel. I’ve had it about a month. I paired it with a “Xantrex Technologies 802-1500 XPower Powerpack 1,500-Watt Portable Backup Power System” and a “Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller”. The panel is 12 volt, 4.6 amps though at this point I’m seeing up to 13.6 volts and 5 amps. I suspect over time as the panel weakens it will be more toward the 12 volt, 4.6 amp. The panel was simple to hook up and came with what was needed. I did go purchase new wire as I needed more distance for where I mounted it. I’m able to charge the battery from dead to full in 2 days. If I were to rotate the panel through the day I feel I could fully charge in 1 day.
Nice for backup charging and learning. For any real application you would need a ton of these though.
