The panel is super nice, well built and just the right size. One problem though, the plugin connections have been drastically changed. A set of 8 mm clips or adaptor to connect 8mm to existing 6.2 mm panels should be included. As shipped I could not use the panel until I bought a daisy chain connector to use with my existing old style panels.
I bought these panels to help power up our gadgets while on the road in our Westy. Super easy to use; very straight forward design with the cables and when connecting to gadgets. Looking forward to the generator and two more panels to come!
Have purchased 4 of these...2 of the old style and 2 new. Had to return one of the newer because it malfunctioned but customer service was helpful and exchanged it with no problems.
I purchased one of these with a Venture 30 and it worked great. I wanted my charge time to decrease to I purchased another Boulder 15 and chained them together and that worked great too. I now have 4 Boulder 15s (can't beat $58 each) chained together, mounted on the Goal Zero Tripod and I use them to charge my Yeti 400 and they work great (getting about 55 watts total). Solid construction, fairly light weight, and they chain well together. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is that the USB connection on one of the panels doesn't seem to work. That, however, doesn't bother me since I chain them together anyway. I'm sure if I called and reported the problem that Goal Zero would provide a solution, but it's not a big enough deal for me to worry about.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought 8 Boulder 15 v2 panels and chained together 2 sets of 4. I am running at up to 84 watts input just laying them against my house. Durable, easy to use, and absolutely deliver on power delivery to my Yeti 400.
