Today we’re here to review the Zamp Solar portable solar panel, the ZS-40-P. It’s a great little unit that is designed to charge your batteries or maintain your batteries in your motorhome or your marine applications. It’s a self contained unit with it’s own carrying case. You can see here it is like a two-sided brief case. You simply open it up and it has everything you need inside. It’s got its own charging system, a smart charger that actually maintains your battery. It looks at how much charge is in your battery and adjusts according to the needs of the battery. It has it’s own folding legs that are fully adjustable so you can get the right angle for the sun you’re going after. It’s got its own cable system. The cable system allows you to place the unit in the best possible sunshine. Most people don’t want to part their RV in the sun, you can park your RV in the shade and use the cable to get this out where the sun is. It’s a fairly long cable that has two alligator clips to hook up to your battery system. It also has its own connector system so that you can get a hardwired connector for your motorhome or for your boat. It’s also a great unit for emergencies. If you have a dead battery in the middle of nowhere, this will get you up and running. The way it works is you can set it up and adjust it so that it has the correct angle so the sun can hit it correctly. This is what it looks like. This unit comes with Bosch solar panels that are made in Germany. They have a 25 year warranty. The whole unit itself including the electronics has a 5 year warranty. All-in-all it is a great little unit. It’s 40 watts and 2.3 Amps. There is also a big brother version of this, the ZS-80-P, which is twice as big of a unit and also self-contained. This is an exciting product. We just got back from the Good Sam rally in Redmond Oregon and the booth was mobbed with people. This is really a unique product and we’re excited to be carrying it.
