I've also had excellent results with BougeRV's customer service. One of my panels had a small amount of white residue across one of the individual solar cells that looked like some of the encapsulant might have spilled over. I sent them an e-mail about it, asked if that was going to be an issue, and if I should return the panel to Amazon while my return period was valid. They responded by saying to keep that panel and they'd send me another one. In the process of sending that panel, it was shattered in transit. I contacted them again, sent pics of the damage, and they sent a second panel out. Each time, they were very helpful and responsive. The panel with the white residue performs just as well as the others, so I ended up keeping and using it.
On a full-sun day using my Ecoflow River 2, I can see 80W+ with regularity, and if I take the time to get the angle just right, I have seen 102W one time briefly. Overall, I have been very happy with them and for this price, they're a steal.
Note that the River 2 has a 120w solar input, so even if you did get a 160W+ panel, it will still only charge at a max of 120w. The 160W panel would do better in partial sun vs a 100W panel, but it would also be a lot larger.
Whatever panel you decide to get, you'll need to convert the output to a XT60 connector for the River 2. Folding panels normally come with adapters but these large glass panels typically have standard MC4 connectors. Note that the cables coming off the panel are also quite short (2-3 ft at most) so if you get a MC4 to XT60 cable, get one long enough to run to wherever you plan to use it.

I liked this 100 watt so good, decided to return it to buy the 200 watt version.
This 100 watt you can carry it like it was a loaf of bread.
The 200 watt is tad awkward bulky but brings in more sun power of course
I have an Ecoflow Delta 2 power station that has a 11-60V at 15A max. I already bought three of these 100W panels before.
Ideally, I'd love to have more panels than necessary so I can have the max solar input even on the less sunny days.
Amazon says each panel has max 5.5amps, 18.15 voltage
So could I run 4 or even 8 of these in some mix of parallel and series?
Could i say at a maximum....3 sets of 3 panels each in Series (each set of 3 panels in series is < 60 volts) and then connect these 3 sets in Parallel so it's 16.5 max amps but the MPP% can ignore excess amps?
Total of 9 panels then

How big is this thing?
