While I did bungee them to the roof of the trailer, they are pretty heavy and I wasn't too worried about any issues with wind. That said, given their weight, I really wouldn't want to have a single 200W unit.
More specifically on the 2x100W vs. 1x200W, I'm really glad I bought two 100W briefcase units instead of one 200W unit. The two units fit perfectly on top of each other on the Frontrunner Outfitters shelf in the back of my Jeep wrangler. I just put a towel between the bottom unit and the shelf and then a towel between the first unit and the second unit and then strapped them down with two 48" flat bungee cords. The towels were probably overkill but given the solar panels face outwards (exposed) when the briefcase is closed I wanted to be safer than sorry. Also, the towels helped the units to not slide on the shelf. The size was also perfect in that I had room to the left of the two panels on the shelf to put the battery. Perfect fit. In addition to a single 200w unit being probably too big for my purposes, these units are not light and I wouldn't really want to haul a single 200W unit onto the top of my trailer.
One note on pairing panels: You can't plug one set of panels into another set and then to your battery. I plugged the two sets of panels into one Goal Zero 4x 8mm combiner to Anderson adapter and then ran a single Anderson power line into the trailer.
A few cons:
- carrying case is just a flimsy sheath that doesn't fully unzip, panels are on the outside so be careful
- kickstand has a fixed 45 degree tilt but in New England, we need closer to 60 degrees in winter so adjustable would be better (placing yoga blocks under each foot is a quick fix)
- uses the GZ 8mm cable which is a pro if you have a GZ Yeti because these are waterproof and solid connections but you need to buy adaptors if you're using a different battery setup
- cables are short, you'll likely need the 15 foot extension cables - I recommend combining 8mm panels into the Anderson connector because that extension cable uses high gauge wire - expect big losses with the 8mm extension cables
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022
What more can be said about the Boulder briefcases? They’re rugged and they work! Carry handle and heavy cloth bag make these fairly portable and protect from scratches and dings. Beyond that, they are a bit heavy and cumbersome, so I would recommend taking your time moving these around as to not get injured or damage the panels.
Other minor complaint about the B200 specifically, is that its ‘high power plug’ connector is a basic Anderson connector where its terminals have been turned into a “vertical” orientation *without* the option of making them go lateral (you can’t pull back the rubber sheath on the plug). Admittedly I bought these strictly to power Jackery generators, as the GZ ones I found their inverters run forever, needlessly and somewhat rapidly draining the batteries.
To properly charge a Jackery with B200, you either need to buy: 1) third party Anderson > Anderson extension with options to make one set of terminals vertical and one lateral -OR- 2) an Anderson > 8mm male adapter cable. Testing my B200 briefcase with Jackery 1000 using an Anderson > 8mm cable, I pulled 120 watts of charge in filtered sunlight with no issues.
