It knocks spots off the others I've tried over the years; the only downside is that it is a little on the large side at 500mm x 350mm x 20mm

I came in here to spout my wisdom of them not being worth much: a few hours a day at 100mA max is what the average solarpanel for car-use does. You'd be lucky to have 500mAh a day into your 100Ah battery.
And the 14W USB panel I bought from Lidl hardly did 7W in the full June sun, perfectly angled.
But your numbers make some actual sense, especially if it did 0.3A when not even in the full sun!
I'll keep an eye out if it appears in the Dutch Aldi...
Or simply use my other solarpanel...
(Used to run coolingboxes, couldn't exactly take the Volvo as it still has a malfunctioning AC, so not suited, not even for England/Wales\Scotland).
