It's not enough juice for the squeeze. I charged up all day today,a very sunny day but the Oupes battery topped out at 90% charge. Then I charged my Bolt and only got 8 miles of range added. The product could be simplified a lot. It could just be a solar panel glued to the roof, with a foldable extension that flips over to cover the windshield. No plastic case needed, no roof rack, no piston. The charge cord could go in the trunk. So much simpler and more aerodynamic.

I am excited to use this product when I go camping with my Rivian. I had a few issues getting everything working but after a phone call with a support provider from Go Sun things are working now! I have not yet tested it in the mountains but I will add more details to this review when I do. If I can get a good charge on my truck when camping this product will earn 5 stars!

It was bad enough that this was originally marketed and monies solicited for a device that was strictly affixed to the roof of my car and then the final designed requires a huge battery that’s in the ballpark of 40 pounds that has to reside in the back of my car. I was willing to go with that. But the whole thing doesn’t work. Whoever thought the battery was the solution was wrong. It’s part of a problem with this whole unit. The battery never stays on so when you plug in the car, after a few minutes of this contraption delivering a pitiful level of charge, The battery shuts off and I’m getting warnings for my car constantly that it’s not charging even though it is plugged in. The other half baked idea was how they extend the back portion of the panels using these flimsy sticks that collapse. I’m no inventor and I’ve could’ve put it together a better solution to maximize the surface area that the sun would hit Spend your money elsewhere. This device is not ready for primetime.

I have noticed significant changes to the handling of my vehicle, as well as increased drag that makes the value proposition questionable. The build quality of the housing seems robust and the locking mechanism is well thought out. The connection required to a remote battery pack is unfortunate.

i expected from the beginning a one unit system all coming from the roof unit not having to route cables and other things and basically a glorified DIY setup that i had planned years and years ago to do myself with foldable solar panels and in trunk battery solar generator and it would of cost me a lesser price than this setup they gave us last minute with this last minute design they even told us to pre order the whole contraption and youd get a discounted price because it will be costing over 5k and if you look at it now its like 100-200$ over what most like me preordered it to so we got duped, we got scammed, its not working as intended, the design is not as intended, the price was promised to us in such a hopeful and early bird attitude type of way when it wasnt, the setup to have the system work properly is bootleg at best with black electric taped cables on the outside, its unfair unfinished product i perfer a setup with all in it like the original design with inhouse systems, i was even promised it would be protected from theft with ways to track it and proper lock yea we only got the proper lock thats held by plastic, which means it can be pried open with enough intent, and stolen in meere minutes cause everythings held on by screw types uncommon but easy to find bits to with modern kits like ifix it has and promised of 1200w solar at my full setup with a perfect no cloud day i had at peak sunlight per two seperate solar tracking apps i downloaded to verify at most it was giving me 980ish watts which theoretically can charge the car roughly 1kwh times before and after that it will drop significally making it closer to 600-700w avg for around peak sun times and before and after that your looking at anything from 50-400 w at best decent setup i dont know if it can give you 20 miles a day and if it can maybe only during peak sun season(if its not a rainy season where you live) otherwise its mild the price would of been much more feasable if we were promised the early bird special properly, the original design, a better guide on whats what rather than a makeshift video with lots of cuts several signs of unsureness throughout the video,even as far as unrealistic standards in wanting us to leave the battery unit outside the car on sunny days so it cools better( as if a sunny day can become a rainy day in mere minutes to hours) so overall quality i give it a 3/5 because they at least made the roof unit holding all the solar panels rough, good quality plastic for outer terrain,and low profile with an aerodynamic spoiler at the end and good leading edge at the front but thats just the design aspect of it i would of perfered the full setup originally intended with batter/inverter unit inside and all, value for my money i give it a 1/5 because it is something its not nothing either, but i could of done this system cheaper way way cheaper myself with even a custom roofrack aerodynamic box copuple screws and cables as well for i would say 1/3 the price i paid for all this
