Very satisfied with the product; RENOGY is a good and reliable brand. Delivery was impeccable and on time, the product was pristine, and the seller took the time to follow up on product quality and delivery, which is very much appreciated. Highly recommend !!!

I paired this with a Blutetti Elite 30v2 which has a max of 10amp so I was bumping up against that 10 amp limit pretty consistently. After completely heat soaked at 4pm through a pigeon net. I was getting 155w into the Bluetti. This is a limitation of Bluetti as it was consistently hitting that 10 amp limit. To be fair this is probably overkill for the small 288w unit I own, I'll have to do proper tests charging my ebike with my boost converter which can take 15amps max. However since these panels all run in parallel you can literally shade an entrire panel and still get a 150w panel. So what I did is fold one side and the other to create a 100w panel which is great if you want a smaller footprint or you're in the woods and have a small sliver of sun and I got 87w on one set of 2 panels and 86w on the other on the stands which needed to be leaned down more to be fully aligned to the sun. That's 173w output. This is in alignment with people reporting between 170 to 190 out of this panel. If you could lean it on a fence or or a picnic table to properly align it I'm sure I'd get more. The legs are fine, however they only angle down to maybe 35-40 degrees or so, so in mid summer you are probably losing some watts during peak 10am to 2pm peak hours, in spring or fall you're good. I'm sure it was just a compromise for different latitudes. Fortunately it's small enough you can get creative if necessary angling it with a log, or the side of an RV, fence, whatever to properly angle it during peak summer months. However all that being said you could just set it to as low as it will go on the stands, with some minor adjustments to face towards the sun and you're still probably going to get at least 170ish(+ or - 15w) with it, even completely heat soaked(I only test when heat soaked, not cold peak). You could probably be even totally lazy just face it due south and get some decent power out of it. Like I said even without any bypass diodes it's extremely shade tolerant. With me just putting my hand over the top of it the watts only drop maybe 10-15w which would kill a lot of panels that are in series. All in all for the amazing price of $215 Canadian you're getting a panel with over %80 efficiency(150w+) which is considered excellent for a panel for about $1 Canadian a watt, you can't go wrong. Because of the shading tolerance this can be a sort of "set and forget" if you wish if you're camping and going fishing, etc and still get decent power out it just by pointing it south and walking away for a few hours. No wonder they sold out so quickly.

Fab and powerful solar panel. It is portable but it is also heavy enough. I find it handier to use at home with my Bluetti batteries. But don't take it away in our motorhome as feel it adds unnecessarily to the weight.

Produit de bonne qualité, fonctionne parfaitement je recommande sans hésiter

Used this for the first time last weekend at a festival to charge my Bluetti ac180 which was running my alpicool fridge in my Campervan, it took it from 27% to full charge in about 3 and 1/2 hours so I’m really pleased with it, the only downside is the size of it although it does fold flat it’s quite large and can be a little fiddly to stand up but overall I would definitely recommend it

These panels are awesome! Easy to carry around, to setup, and they work great. I'm getting 90% efficiency on a hot sunny day. If it was colder it would be closer to 100%. These work as well as my rigid panels. Keep in mind that any shadow on any part of a solar panel is going to reduce the whole panel's output. It's a lowest common denominator kind of impact. Same thing with panels in series to match voltage. In series 1 panel can impact all panels. Panels want to be cold, so keep them off the ground (using the supports). Panels want full sun, so keep them pointed towards the sun and in the clear.
