Pros & Cons
Pros
Renogy solar panels are excellent units as there built in taiwan by the same company that builds rich solar and hqst units. We get over 3200 watts total under full sun with 30 panels now. That includes recharging our battery bank, watching tv, coffee ... Read More
Two arrays of 15 panels each at 13 amps is where we are now. Renogy has at least a 15% power output difference from the closest panels. I have another 100w renogy panel that i purchased from a different retailer that produces the same results.
The 2 panels not on sale are better quality, and perform better than the one sale panel. The real difference is in the quality of the frame and clarity of the glass. Ordering this same package deal tho. It is cheaper that way.
Cons
The rest panels produced ridiculously low watt. There is no way this company has 4. My generator only excepts 12-24 volts.
It’s just highly over rated for what it produces. There has been little to no improvement. Poorly made product.
Renogy customer support is dismal! Expedited shipping is not available. I was not contacted by pat or anyone from renogy. As far as a source of reliable power for any use, solar is a very bad joke.
Highlights
Quality
Going into my test with that understanding, i am very impressed with the output.
As i said, i did the research and under my conditions, i am satisfied with the results i am getting.
Ordered 8 of them for a solar pool pump and the quality is awesome, nothing but quality hardware throughout.
I have had no issues at all with the panels and still outputting normal range after 7 years.
Price
The price was better than i've ever seen, so i jumped on it.
Shipping
Excellent construction aluminum frame & solar cellspackaged wellcardboard shipping box
Competitiveness
I now have 4 on my travel trailer with a renogy 40 adventurer controller and 100ah hybrid battery.
I have seen 98 watts come out of this 100 watt panel using a victron mppt charge controller.
Looking to get a couple more panels with a renogy controller.
Found a better value with hqst panels.

I meant to buy 12v panels however 24v panels shipped i had then realized i was going to make an over complicated system to make 12v panels into a 24v system and getting 24v panels would make more sense havent tested them yet but the label on the back reads as a 24v panel would
