Pros

This setup feeds a 4 bank agm battery setup with inverter. Connected to a victron solar charge controller and 100ah lifepo4 battery. Allows us to be on the water off grid for days while keeping my batteries charged to run the refrigerator/freezer 24/7...  Read More

Two of these for my sprinter van. Mounted on the roof of my pop top camper using 3m vhb tape. Velcro,15' x 2 industrial self sticking, 1 box per panel.

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

The renogy solar100w 12v lightweight semi flexible black panel is durable and lightweight. I like it flat and black color looks almost unnoticeable. Stiff enough to place on camp chair in sun and stow.

See pictures. Separately fused. Holy *. I'm blown away. Just unbelievable performance at far.



Cons

Very disappointed. Very dissatisfied. Very frustrating.

Customer support is ok, they want you to pay for shipping to return the product for testing. Impossible to stack and use a renogy branch connector. After two more months of negotiation (seriously- no hyperbole), and return of the panels to renogy, no ...  Read More

Renogy gets some good product reviews but if you poke around you will find many reviews like mine. My real disappointment is that the 2 defective panels will take 5 weeks to be refunded!

Panel is too fragile to be used as a portable device. Just 6 months in the sun and the flexibility is half. Panel is super light and does bend a lot.

Renogy 100 watt panels develop only about 60 watts under ideal conditions. After use on my sailboat for 2 1/2 months the dc power output reduced by 50%. Does not work and window to return is passed. Max power output is around 80 watts on roof of car, ...  Read More

Quality


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


This is a good replacement and easy to install.


The cheap panels warped heavily due to heat, came out of their holders, and blew away .


All three pv panels together produce about 175w at peak times and are wired parallel in my 12v dc system.

Competitiveness


Although it's a poor panel from an efficiency standpoint, i am still giving them 4 starts because it's better then the alternat...  Read More


I purchased 2 of these and about 3 months earlier i bought 5 100watt panels from a cheaper brand.

    Part of their warranty issue is no holes are to be drilled in the sides or the roof


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I purchased 6 175 watt expensive renogy flexible these and 8 100 watt cheap panels from ebay


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The renogy panels were installed over three years ago while the cheap panels were installed late last year

    The cheap panels warped heavily due to heat came out of their holders and blew away

    I was going to mount two of these on my trailer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However they werent as flexible as i thought they would be


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ultimately one of them would not flex enough to go on the trailer which would have left me with only a single 50 watts panel which in turn would have not been enough power


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    From a structural standpoint i think they would be pretty durable
