Is this 20 watt solar kit worth $35? - cstockwell - 03-16-2024

I ordered a cheap solar kit from walmart at one point because I wanted a solar panel I could keep in my truck or bang around without thinking much about it. This kit also had a very cheap solar charge controller with it and some decent power adapters. The solar charger was labeled for specs that I personally feel were way off. I have never seen a cheap controller like that with specs anywhere near that. Also the item was sold as a "200 Watt solar kit" but I knew it was the 20 watt solar panel by looking at it. So that was the first issue. Below is a picture of what comes with the kit and also a video of testing the kit and seeing how it performs and if it was worth the $35.
