Have used this panel for over a month. Shipping was super quick (3 days fm purchase to mailbox fm CA to VA). Works incredibly well. Pumps out 17 volts and .3 amps. I will need another one to get me over the .48 amps I need to run a fan on a solar wood kiln. But excellent value and great product.



5 out of 5 stars 5w panel sturdy; weather resistant (sealed)   July 28, 2008

I just received the 5 w panel. I find that it is very sturdy. It is under a glass panel and surrounded by aluminum sides. The two wires are about 12 inches. In full sunlight, on a clear day, I measured about .32A (that's 320mA). If you cover one cell in the panel, the current drops to less than a few mA. So avoid shadows.
The aluminum frame has predrilled holes and comes with strait brackets (two holes).
When I placed the panel on the dash board of my car, the current measured was 180mA.
So, I plan on mounting them on top of my car. I think it has a blocking diode inside the panel.
The panel is sealed with what looks like caulking.
I didn't understand the price until I received the product.



5 out of 5 stars CDT Solar Panel - 5W (CDT-5)   April 16, 2008

This is simply the best 5W panel you will find - anywhere. Very rugged build quality w/ an aluminum frame and epoxy sealed tempered glass (this thing is *NEVER* coming apart!). The power output also tested better than rated. Compared to other plastic 5W products (which I've also owned while they worked), this is a far superior product. My next project will be much larger and I will definitely be ordering from CDT again. This was one of the better amazon.com purchases I've made.

I was looking for a few-watt solar panel for my little home project. The idea was to run a couple of ventilation fans in my house's crawl space, using solar power. Both decent price and thorough technical specs of CDT panel have attracted me. And this product really satisfied my expectations! Panel produces current/voltage as specified. It is sturdy, easy to mount. Thanks to its sealed design, it has survived all kinds of weather during the winter - snow, ice, cold, etc. And right at this moment, it is running those fans! Highly recommended!
