We have it hooked up to an Ecoflow Delta mini and it produces over 300 watts even with the clear coating on top of the panel. Panel is not and it's optimum position in the video but we've seen it go more than 320 watts. This may not be the best long-term permanent fix, but it will definitely get you by for a little bit. Obviously your results are going to vary depending on the damage of your panel, but this is what we've seen which is pretty good for close to a 480 Watt panel getting about 320 watts. In it's non optimal setting.
