Do it protect against solar panel radiation?

Do you mean reflection from the front of solar panel? No and if you think there is any radiation from solar Panel check it out on Google as I'm not aware of any radiation.

not really. it would block out the sun, but not some thing that you can really see out of.

I didn't take the plastic cover off the top of the solar panel but its outside at all times not under covering and it works fine. I would say its very weatherproof.

Yes, since the solar panel hangs on the outside of the window, it wouldn't matter if the window is tinted or not.

the solar panel is not flexible nor is it meant to be. i would have to assume that the cells would indeed get damaged if it were to flex too much....i have yet to try doing that.

It seems to prevent discharge at night. I'm using several with a solar panel to maintain battery charge on infrequently used equipment and the battery charge has been maintained.

The gentleman is wrong, it keeps debris out and keeps the sun from burning off the chemicals. We use less chemicals by having a cover. Go for it.

No-this screen does nothing for the sun....even with that said, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!

I am not sure but it does a sufficient job of blocking sun at both am and pm drive. Extra protection with the sliding guard that gives double broke tin. This is my second one and I've not found another brand that works for me. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure - it would have to be positioned so the sun hit the solar panel - cant hurt to try it and see :-)

Yes, but honestly, I never really ended up using this much. It was more of a hassle, and kind of a cheap product. I still haven't found the perfect product to shield the sun, but found the larger canopy's worked better. I also questioned just how much protection it was giving. Sorry for having more complaints and not a direct solution to offer. :(

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

No it does not. It is a sealed non adjustable unit. I just installed 3 of them so I can't tell you about their longevity but one of the other reviews said they shouldn't be in direct sunlight so I mounted a few inside vented metal boxes that the neon transformers that they replaced were in. The other one I used a small piece of thin sheet aluminum and bent a little cover over it about 2 inches away to allow airflow but still block the sun. Hope this helps,

Agree with Todd & Kate. It is what it is, a "solar" panel depending totally on UV rays to generate a charge. The panel will not generate a charge at night nor on dark overcast days.

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

The tan shade cover lets plenty of residual light through to our deck, but keeps the heat and glare off like a hard cover would do. It seems to be holding up well in all weather conditions and is an extremely cheap option vs. a stick built cover. I would remove it during any winter events as it can be weighed down heavily with snow and possibly damage the canopy or anchor system.

NO. This solar panel is designed to keep a deep cell battery fully charged. The dc battery drives the electrical motor.
