DOKIO 200W 18V Solar Panel Kit for 12V Systems, Brackets, 5 m Cable

DOKIO 200W 18V solar panel kit for 12V systems: one panel with Z-brackets, alligator clips and a 5 m MC4 cable. A low-cost single-panel option for RV roofs, as long as you add your own charge controller.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + One 200W panel with Z-brackets, alligator clips and a 5 m MC4 cable at a low price for the wattage
  • + Half-cell layout with bypass diodes is designed to cut shading losses and overheating in variable light
  • + Pre-drilled holes and included brackets suit RV roofs, and also fit tilt or pole mounts

Trade-offs

  • - No charge controller in the box: a PWM or MPPT controller must be added for safe 12V battery charging
  • - The listing highlights do not give the panel dimensions or weight, which matter on a crowded RV roof
