Goal Zero Boulder 200 W Briefcase Includes High Power Port HPP 14-22V, Up-to 14A (200 W max)

Item arrived far in advance of estimate. Packaging damaged on arrival, and completely open down one side. Waited three days until I had time to test it. Works fine. Cloudy day, April 7th, but is generating over 20v at 10am. Good tip from previous reviewer abount inserting the polystyrene packaging to protect the panels in the briefcase.

Great product. A bit heavy, but easy to set up with free falling kick stands.

Good packaging, good carrying case. Didn’t like the anderson plug. Had to buy a connector to the battery pack.

Bought this mainly for emergency use, but also occasional offgrid needs. First test was to hook it up to the power station and run a RecTeq Bullseye wood pellet smoker/grill. Using the two together, was able to get a net positive charge while running the smoker (in other words, it was charging faster than the smoker was drawing power). This was on a mostly sunny/partly cloudy day, with a little bit of shade on the panel. Granted, the power station and solar panel are brand new, but they seem pretty solid and well built. So far it seems like a good investment. My only constructive criticism so far is I wish the cord from the solar panel to the power station was a couple of feet longer - I'm guessing it's about 4-5 feet, an 8 foot cord would be really handy, but it's not a deal breaker.

Awesome quality but very poor leg design and well above average price for comparable products ! ..Some might wonder if I like Goal Zero and I do ! ...But !!! ..Some might wonder also if Goal Zero's right hand move's in parallel with their left hand !.. The glass panel itself is top notch as is the sturdy encasing ! ..The legs ????...Oooh ! ..Turn this panel upside down with the legs sticking up and you have created an effective determent for invading armies to become impaled rofl..Why is this important ???.. Its important because the panel is so heavy that once you unfold you end up dragging it into your optimal position at the same time dragging all the dirt, debris, cats, dog's, humans and anything else these sharp angled legs can catch along their way *grin !.. Make the legs more user friendly, drop the price by about 100 dollars and I will up my stars !..Otherwise !...Shopper's !..Check out the Renogy briefcase's, they have solved the leg designs, the pricing and best of all they adapt to nearly every Solar generator's wattage input ! ..Sincerely, Eric

Works well. Heavy, but durable. Generally provides about half to 2/3 of rated output.
