You might need an adapter to fit the supplied plug into, but you don't need a transformer. Each panel includes power circuitry that will accept any input voltage from 90 volts to 260 volts. If you hook up a transformer to it, you'll be supplying transformer power to a circuit that doesn't need one. It'll work fine, but it's unnecessary.
The attachment is a photo of the specs for the unit that is printed right on the box. You'll see clearly that the box it comes in says 28 watts. They've never even made a 45 watt version. I have seen an advertisement on another sellers site that misidentifies the panel as having 45 watts but I just checked that site and it's been changed to read 28 watts now. Perhaps that's where you saw it.
No biggie man. I just wanted to make sure that everyone understood that you don't need a transformer and the panel has 28 watts output.
The unit will operate right out of the box with any voltage of 90 volts to 260 volts and also accepts 50 or 60Hz current.
The plug that comes on it is the only problem. An adapter will be necessary for anyone who hasn't the ability to use a standard, non-grounded "old-fashioned" USA type plug. You can't cut it off and splice another suitable plug on without voiding the warranty, so for those with European type house current sockets, an adapter will be necessary.
