Renogy Solar Panels 100 Watt, N-Type Solar Panel 25% High-Efficiency 16BB

These N-Type Panels from Renogy are great. I have 8 (100w) panels connected to a Sumry 4K AIO Inverter/charger and it consistently pulls 75% or better (600watt or better). Sometimes I will go above 800 watts and stay steady in the 700 watt range. I purchased most recent panels on special for an average of about $44 a panel which I believe is a steal. Unfortunately I guess it was not from amazon. Today I was prompted to do a review as it has been overcast all day with no sun peaking out all and the Sumry is getting 250 watts continuously. I look forward to expanding as I am just touching the 90V range where the Sumry really starts to perform well. Connected to (4) 12.8V 150ah Lifepo4 batteries. They do the job well and I will purchase more.

I have been using the 200 Watt Renogy Solar panels for two years now , and they perform as promised. An array of 6 of these panels put out almost the advertised 200 Watt a Panel , in full sunlight , for a total of just about 1200 Watts total, which is the maximum of power going into my Bluetti Power Station. With a sturdy home made frame work, I have the panels pointed at a South West to West configuration. I bought the Renogy Panels because they have less " Micro Cracks ", than other brands. I got them on an Amazon Sale at only $169. each.

As soon as I received the panel's I unboxed everything and set them in the sun to check if they worked. First things I noticed is they are built really well, and they sent me 24 volt panels and I ordered 12 volt so a big plus for me, 96 volts of power from an expected 48 so again a big plus in my favor (After ordering a total of 22 of these they are all producing more than 100W each unfocused and YES they are a good deal). Next I pointed them at the sun and was getting more than rated voltage when in a direct angle to the sun, and I got a reading of 24.5 volts DC on all but 1 which was 22.8 volts DC with them pointing unfocused; in an attempt to imitate the angle they would be in a stationary system on the roof. Of course my opinion may change if they don't work long term but right now I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Edit: It's been a few months now using these panels fully off grid. And I couldn't be happier. Yes I could have spent a lot more money and had fewer panels by buying 300+ watt panels but space wasn't a worry for us money is. We would have spent quite a bit more per watt buying the higher wattage panels. The important thing is each and every one of my Renogy solar panels produces more than the rated wattage under full sun. It isn't a lot but we get over 3200 watts total under full sun with 30 panels now. Which means there is over 200 watts higher than rated wattage total. Thats 2 panels worth. I call them our ghost panels. My opinion of these panels and the company couldn't get better. The PowMr 5000W CC/Inverter we are using can take 450V to the MPPT with a max of 500V 16 amps. Two arrays of 15 panels each at 13 amps is where we are now, thats about 250 V 6.5 amps per array. We are going to add more panels to reach the 450V 16A input potential. Right now we only use battery power under full sun if we use the dryer or microwave oven, everything else is powered between say 8:00 AM to 6:00PM by our panel array which are not focused and is a bit small yet. That includes recharging our battery bank, watching TV, coffee on, lighting and the fridge. If the dryer and AC are on at the same time we may see a small draw on the batteries around 1 or 2 amps when the dryers heating element is powered, which is intermittent. Right now we are fairly balanced. The panels run everything in the house pretty much during daytime including recharging batteries, and the batteries at night; which means the panels are producing all the electricity we use. Adding a few more panels will end using any battery power during a sunny day and adding panels to reach 450V max will probably accomplish that on a cloudy day. And thats the last thing I want to mention. Even though power production does depend on how much light is blocked by clouds or shadows, they do produce power on overcast days. A thin layer of clouds won't appear to make much difference and even on a day with a few rain clouds around we will have power coming from the panels. So my rating is 100% 5 Stars and I'd add another 5 if I could. The panel that produced 22 volts was made wrong. One of the cells isn't connected and what looks like the solder strip is laying across the neighboring cell face. Still can't complain I purchased 12V panels.

Easy setup and work like they should and better. Used two panels while boondock camping. Was pulling 215 watts on a few days. I made them into a solar suitcase. Worked so well that I bought 2 more.

Works well, but I do wish that the mounting brackets were designed such that one could remove the panel from the brackets without having to remove the brackets from whatever surface you have mounted onto.

Do your homework, and limit your expectations. There are many considerations in solar panel technology other than their advertised wattage. Lots of things factor into how many watts your panel can harvest over any given time. Expect less than half the watts advertised for starters, and work on efficiency over time. Once you understand that solar panels must be angled at varying times and degrees, rather than permanently fixed to maximize efficiency, you'll be well on your way. Yes, you can permanently mount the panel in a horizontal position, but depending on the surface and angle of the sun at any given time, this will affect the amount of watts you can harvest. Another big consideration in panels is the amount of landscape they require for their installation, their prospective location, and surface, if any. Some are larger than others and heavier too. The flexible and folding ones have their drawbacks as well. Consider where you plan to put them and how you plan to use them before deciding what to buy. After a lot, a lot, a lot, of reading and research, hundreds of product reviews, and a determination to return them if they didn't perform, I bought these. I'm glad I did because they didn't disappoint me. I don't get 100 watts out of these panels, but I also don't run the risk of overloading my system. Again, be wary of the maximum wattage stated. You'll never get that out of any panel unless perhaps you're out in space pointed directly at the sun. Finally, it's usually a logistics issue but be aware that these require special handling, so even though they were advertised as Prime in terms of delivery when I bought them, mine took a couple of weeks to arrive. At no time were they advertised as being out of stock, so it's fair to think their size and handling are the reason they take so long to arrive. Others have experienced the same kind of delivery delays, so be advised you may not get them in a hurry and so should plan accordingly if your need is urgent. All-in-all, for the price point, these are a very fair deal, even more so if you happen to catch them on sale, as I did. I'm a satisfied customer even if I had to pay regular price and expect you will be too.

I had the need to build a exhaust fan for my small greenhouse. I decided to have it solar powered and run on 12v instead of running extension from the house. I have watch a fair number of videos with RV'ers and Van Life travelers that spoke very highly about the Renogy 100 watt panel. I did some additional research and decided on still going with Renogy. They may not be the least expensive, but I can see how they got the great reputation. The panel came in simple but sturdy packaging. I unboxed and tested right away and provided the proper voltage. The panel is a quality build. It has provided reliable charging power to the small battery bank I have in the greenhouse that powers the exhaust fan and a couple of other USB fans I have in the greenhouse to move the air around. I have it attached to and small frame I built out of galvanized angle iron. (If anyone likes the look, all I did was buy the angel iron set used to secure garage door tracks to the ceiling. The sizes in the package worked out perfectly. That, some nuts and bolts and your good to go.) I have purchased a second panel for the additional power I will need for a water pump for the greenhouse. I would recommend the panel to anyone who wants a small panel. The panel prices seem to move up and down a bit so watch the prices. Update 5/30/21 I am a bit frustrated. My second panel came damaged (during shipping) and the replacement panel that was even more damaged with shattered glass. Both were handled by the USPS. It would appear that the panels are dropped or slammed into things when shipped. Amazon only offered the return on the second replacement and I will have to reoder the panel as a new order. Note to AMAZON - Don't ship these using the USPS. The other shippers may cost more, but two returns are not making it cheaper.... Update 8/19/21 Just a quick update. I received the second panel in June and it was in perfect shape. I have had the green house fans running all summer without any issues. Refund from the second returned panel was taking longer than the allotted time frame. I contacted customer service through the website chat function and the rep was great!! 5 stars. Responsive and took care of crediting my account right then.

Tested Renogy 200W panel rigid panel Cloudy: W- 125.8 Vmp- 30.7 Amps - 4.2 Voc - 35.8 Sun: W-255.7 Vmp - 34.2 Amps - 7.2 Voc - 35.8 New to solar but these look like excellent power production here in Fl. 3:05 pm. Note: bright sun exceeds rated power level. Tested with meter on auto. This panel looks like excellent quality. Size is ~ 50” x 30.1” x 1.2” Mounted on adjustable stand (see picture)). Update Just got my second Renogy 200W rigid solar panel. Tested today in sun and shade here in N Fl. In bright sun 224 W. These are for emergency use in prolonged power outage (hurricanes) where we have gone 5 days without power. Keep these stored in bicycle travel bags (with the adjustable angle brackets attached). Not planning permanent mounting. Used with Bluetti Power Stations.

Llegó muy rápido, sin daños, funcionan a la perfección, Perfecto para casas de campo.

Quality made panel, not too heavy, package arrived without damage. Fast shipping. Affordable price . Recommend it.

I ordered 1 Renogy 100 watt panel to try them out. This panel works very well! 4.9 Amps in noon sun in March in Canada. Using a Renogy Rover Elite MPPT charge controller, the output peaked up to 6.5 A to the battery at noon. I have 2 other economy brand 100 Watt panels that only produce 3.5 A each in the same place and time. I just thought the sun was not that strong in Canada, but comparing the Renogy panel vs economy brand panels show how good they are. I will buy more of these Renogy panels.
