Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Well made and powerful!
Gone through a lot of solar panels either because they couldn't hold up to rain, sleet, Texas heat or they were just underpowered. But this one has held up very well so far!
On my second panel
First panel died after 1.5 years. If I slightly twist the frame, it starts working. Just ordered my second replacement panel. I did not have any bubbles on the front like other panels.
What gauge/OD of wire does this ship with?
This may make 6 watts in sunlight but it makes -0.001 watts in bright indoor light. I have two in a window on a Sunny Buddy and with nothing plugged in, the LiPo battery drains down. 😬
