The 80W solar panel has emerged as the Goldilocks option - not too big for mobility, not too small for practical energy needs. But before you whip out your credit card, let's break down what really determines those price tags.
Current market data shows wild price fluctuations:
That $138 foldable panel? Probably using amorphous thin-film technology. The $349 rigid panel? Likely monocrystalline silicon. Efficiency ratings tell the real story:
