Hey does anybody perhaps know where one can get these panels?
Does not have to be the same watts as these but must be 6v any 8w-25w will be ok.

The below light comes with those 15w panels though only the Ecomlight. I am adding more battery capacity to 4 of them so that is the reason for the extra panels so it can charge quicker with one panel getting early morning sun and the other one the rest the day's sun.

LOL don't look at the specs on TA its all BS on all of these solar lights. I had many different 100w models and many returns 1 page full :X3: and most came with a 6watt panel 6v 800ma to 1a and does not even last till the next morning.

Did all the knockoffs get great reviews also?
 
Bought 2 x 10watt panels to see what the specs will be before I decide on my available options :)

Saw this also this morning wasn't there before.

For some reason these low wattage panels are expensive might as well buy more lights then to get the panels and some lights and use the lights as spares :unsure:

This is how the pack looks now. 3.2v 20ah bms is inside the pack.

Found some panels at the paki shop in Parow R50 x 4 a bit cheaper than a new light just to get a extra panel :)
