 Great panel at a great price March 10, 2008

I have an automatic gate openner which runs on 12V battery which is charged by solar power. I was having trouble with the battery losing its charge because of trees in the area which were blocking the sun. I went to the people who installed my system and they wanted $120 just for another panel. So I began looking on the internet and found these panels. At first I was skeptical because the price seemed too low. Any way I decided to give the company a chance and my battery charging problems are solved without cutting down any trees. I just connected the new panel in parallel with the old. These are definitely high quality panels. Terry

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!
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.

This 5W panel performs great. It is everything the description says. Very easy to install. I had a charge regulator already, so it was easy for me to connect this heavy duty panel to power my weather station.
I had tried hooking up my own solar panel array by piecing together smaller flimsier solar panels with disappointing results. With 6 200mA panels, I still wasn't getting enough juice. A multimeter revealed that the total output was 200 mA for all 6! (3 sets of 2 9V panels in parallel).
With just this one CDT panel I'm getting more than enough power. The already installed heavy gauge pre-tinned wires are about a foot long, so I ended up having to connect some additional wire to them. I was just thankful the wires were already connected (very securely) to the panel already. My past experiences with connecting wires to solar panels has been very frustrating.
This solar panel has an internal diode to prevent back flow of current when it's dark or cloudy. It's hard to believe the excellent quality I got for the price.

Best price I found from 6 suppliers. It has already more than trippled the life of my battery operated gate opener. I live in WA state where the sun does not shine every day. Also trees shade it for half the day. It is still keeping the battery topped off just above 12 volts. Before I installed it I had to disconnect the battery and bring it into the shop and charge it every month. I am now into my 4th month and it is working great with no external charging other than the CDT 5w solar panel. The 1.5w charger I started with did not work for my application. This one is great I am very pleased.
