Question on the 45 watt chicago electric solar panel that Harbor Freight
sells for $150.00 .Anybody have any experience with these units ? What
could a person power with one ? coffee pot ,light bulb? thanks for any
responses hlb

Mean delivered power wil be close to 20-30 percent, or ~10 watt.
Paying 150 dollar for that seems to be a very bad investment,
as additional cost(installation, battery bank, convertor , etc,
needs a payback time of about 100 years.
As a source of power in an inaccessible locations, it might be
useful, like battery maintenance in a remote location.
