Pros & Cons
Pros
These have mc4 connectors which are fairly universal and work with most modern lifepo4 'battery bank' or'solar generators' easy to mount with extra mounting pieces supplied. Have them on a homemade gimbal that points them toward the sun throughout the... Read More
These panels are easy to install, dependable, and durable. Only downside is that i don't get the 100+ watts some people are claiming. I believe it peaked at 88 watts.
Cons
Panel is being advertised dishonestly. Short circuit voltage is not 0. These panels are not 12 volt, although they have 12v listed 4-5 times on the product listing.
It seems that the controller and/or the connections are faulty. They have a passed qc sticker on them, and obviously the most basic qc test wasn't done. Final zero for three.
Most of my system were bought from vendors such as amazon, except for (1) lithium battery bought directly from the renogy website. Expedited shipping is not available. As far as a source of reliable power for any use, solar is a very bad joke.
Highlights
Quality
Quality of panel is great and got a consistent solar recharge out of both panels.
These produce good power, do well out in the weather and are easy to wire.
1st panel i got the solar plugs on the back pulled out on first use.
Once installed, it immediately showed max watts and was charging as per our app on the phone.
Price
The price for these panels is very reasonable too!
Best price so far for very reliable panels
Shipping
Amazon refunded an i purchased another identical panel and it was here in 2 days.
The vendor/amazon will claim that the item has shipped, for weeks, but the truth is revealed as ups (the record of truth) alway... Read More

Packaging/appearance

It arrived in a box with only a small piece of stryrofoam on each corner.
The most recent box i had had a corner torn off, a huge dent/puncture in the side, and the opening flap was torn.
