No.
But no one is stopping you from buying Goal Zero.
Was hoping for more details than a "No" but okay. If it's not clear already I'm only asking because I don't want to spend 4x as much.

Debating on getting these or EcoFlow folding panels 160w at $200.

Two of these at $150 is max 200w but lacks the portability…

These are labeled monocrystalline but photos sure appear to be polycrystalline panels. Google the differences and you will see these do not resemble monocrystalline cell panels. Maybe a website labeling error? Just a heads up if you are really wanting monocrystalline efficiency. Poly will take up more surface area as well for same wattage.

No .. these do not have a usb interface built in
you would need at least a charge controller with USB and most likely another set of cables to hook the 2 together.
(they make adapter cables that would allow you to hook this directly to a Jackery type powerstation)

Many of the portable solar panels already have a usb interface built into them
and you can charge directly from them.
something like this > https://www.amazon.com/Explorer-G...PP6KC&th=1
Thank you.!

How good is this hqst one in terms of bang for the buck? What extra things do I have to buy to make usable for the lay person?

Where are you finding the Ecoflow 160W for $200 each?

I have a 120W folding panel. It is 65" wide. I find it a hassle folding and unfolding every time I use it.

Yeah these are for mounting situations like a building / shed / RV roof.
You'll want a foldup style panel for portability. At this price you could get both and be able to keep the Jackery charged at home for free.
Jackery panels don't have MC4 connectors.

People who have Jackery solar generators need to do their research on adapters.

Depends on the solar generator you own.

You may need a solar extension cable if you plan on having the panels 20 feet or more from your solar generator.

I have never seen the point of spending 4x for something.
I have a BougeRV 180W rigid panel.
I have an Elecaenta 120W folding panel.
Buy the panels that optimizes the solar input for the solar generator you own.

F&F discount with a private seller, that's why I'm unable to post it on SD.

Hmm, so the portability is very much a hassle than 2 of these fixed panels?

Folding portable panels aren't meant to be left outside 24/7
rain and such.
Mine is only good down to -10C or +14F
You have to decide what you can tolerate.

MC4 (on these panels) to 5.5 x 2.1 are pretty easy to find
No one mentioned Jackery Panels we are assuming they have a Jackery Powerstation considering their the # 1 seller.

Try doing series connection.
The adapters aren't cheap.
Jackery isn't 5.5mm x 2.1 mm

Yea, it looks like a few folks on Amazon complaining about mislabeling of the panels, and also the quality of the panels. The price on Amazon is about $5 more than HSQT. I'm hoping to find some foldable ones for BF.

I don't have any of this brand so I have no opinion on them
But I can link you to several videos and websites with all the solar related items you need to get started.
This page is a good example > https://hobotech.tv/amazon

Make sure the foldable ones have MC4 connectors unless you need just one.
