Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Ran power cables to my hackery power station. Connected to a victron solar charge controller and 100ah lifepo4 battery. Plugged into a delta 2.

watts=amps x volts. The key to maximizing wattage pull is how you orient them in relation to the sun path & the season. Living in southern california and mostly sunny.

Just unbelievable performance at far. Unbelievable price. Nature of the beast. Saw about 60 watts and thought. See picture; separately fused.

Installed on a sailboat with a victron controller. Installed several as replacements on our truck camper. Mounted it on my nisssn rogue vehicle.

The panel is lightweight and durable, which makes it easy to transport and use in a variety of different settings. It's pretty sturdy and seems to have a fresnel counting over the actual panels.

Cons

Renogy gets some good product reviews but if you poke around you will find many reviews like mine. Renogy says damage caused by a reverse polarity error is not covered under warranty. Have contacted renogy support.

Renogy's flexible solar panel is not as flexible as the pictures suggest. After using the panel on a sailboat for 2 1/2 months the dc power output reduced by 50%. I believe it to be renogy supplying these low quality rejects to fill bulk orders.

There were no instructions included in the box. Very frustrating. Very dissatisfied.

Quality

These panels are about the best quality you can expect for a flexible.

Had it for three years and even though it gets its share of abuse (dust, sand, etc) it’s held up perfectly

And glued them to hinged 1/2 " polycarbonate multiwall; very lightweight and stiff.

This lightweight panel is the only in the back of my 2 door jeep when not use.

Price

Def worth the extra cost for the light weight and versatility of these panels.

A little more expensive than some - but fit our needs.

Shipping

It came nicely boxed and arrived quickly.

I received my 200w panels on time and without any issues.

I got 250 to 300 watts on fully sunny days charging 800 ah chins batteries.

Competitiveness

I paired it with a cheap solar controller and a 20 ah lifepo4.

Since i don't have any other solar panel to compare it to, i cannot give it a 5 star rating.
