Renogy 100 Watt 12 Volt Portable Solar Panel for Power Station, Foldable 100W Solar Panel Suitcase with Adjustable Kickstand, Solar Charger for RV Camping Off Grid System,Black

I've used this to charge my Jackery 300 once so far (connected with "JacEnergy Solar Panel to DC 8mm Adapter Cable"), and at one point it was charging at 96 watts. I think the most I've gotten from charging with Jackery's Solar Saga 100 watt solar panel was in the mid 80's.This panel weighs much more than Jackery's solar panels, so I'll be using this solely to charge at home since weight is an issue for me as a senior citizen. However, the weight is a benefit since it will withstand some windy conditions. I like that it's rated okay to be left out in the rain, and being in Florida I should have an opportunity to try that feature soon. Because of the metal frame, it can get very hot to handle. I had to put some gardening gloves on when I repositioned it after it was in the strong sunlight. Even though there are no markings on the legs to help position both the same, I didn't have any trouble making them even. If I do in the future, I'll just add some markings myself.The included protective case is very nice and makes this Renogy solar panel a good value.My big complaint is with Amazon. When the panel arrived in a very beaten up box, it had some adaptor already connected to the Renogy cable. I realized I was sent someone else's return and although the panel itself looked okay, I was unable to remove one of the adapter ends to even try it. But shame on Amazon. I returned it for a refund, and not willing to trust Amazon again, I ordered one directly from Renogy. It was beyond aggravating because there was rain in the forecast for the next week and I was really looking forward to using the Renogy panel since I couldn't use my Jackery panel under wet conditions. The panel I received from Renogy was new.

Very happy with this purchase used to charge camper batteries while boondock camping. Measured 5.2 amps through 50 ft of 10 guage cable and mc4 connectors with less than full sun on my first trip. I believe it may do better in full sun and shorter cables and should charge my 232 ah battery bank over several hours. Consider having longer cables available for the times that it is needed to reach sun in areas with trees. Already saved me on my first weekend. Low voltage alarm began to chirp about sun up but before I was allowed to use my generator due to campsite rules. I placed panel in the early morning sun and it immediately supplied enough current to begin to charge the batteries and stop the chirping low voltage alarm...... Great addition to my boondock camping gear. Update: after further testing in full sun, I have seen it deliver as much as 5.7 amps. It will change amps delivered depending on how much power is needed for charging or Load. Today I started with fully charged batteries. I ran my 24" 12v TV, a H-24 directv receiver through a 400 watt inverter and my power roof vent on low for 6 hours. When I checked my windy nation charge controller purchased separately the 2 - gc2 golf cart 232 ah battery bank showed 13.7 volts charge. It powered my devices and maintained my 232 ah batteries for 6 hours at 13.7 volts. As a charger it will deliver 5.7 amps during the bulk phase and tapper off as it completes the next phase and down to a trickle as it maintains battery. Handled the load perfectly but It takes several hours to charge a depleted battery bank of that size at 5.7 amps. It requires the generator and 100w solar panel to keep the batteries fully charged over the 24 hour period of heavy use. I am currently charging with with approx 25 amps with 20 amp battery charger powered by generator and my solar contributing another 5 amps. Considering additional panels to boost amperage. solid build with only one minor flaw that I have seen so far. Poor latch to keep it closed. Does not solidly hold the two panels closed. Nice carrying case to protect it. Would recommend or purchase again without reservation! Update: I ordered a second 100 watt unit to boost my solar charging capability and reduce my generator time. I prefer 2 100 watt panels to the new 200 watt panel due to size and weight. Easier to store and manage.

Update a few months later: I still think this is a quality product EXCEPT for the end of the pivot down legs. They have a plastic piece that is supposed to be a cushion foot so to speak but it always comes off and then the stand basically comes apart there. It’s a hassle each time to loosen the nut, insure tge washer is out of the way, slide the nut in the channel and tighten again.It’s an easy factory fix they just need to rivet that piece in or put a screw in it or something to keep it from falling off so that the nut inside the channel cannot keep sliding out. Or they could simply use a good adhesive to keep the foot in place. That’s probably what I’m going to do.Other than that I’m still happy with this Renogy suitcase panel.Original review: Set this Renogy 100watt “suitcase” panel up in my driveway, immediately produced 103 watts which is better than my Rich Solar rigid panels in the same ideal conditions (90-93w max). I tried 100watt and 120watt soft folding panels off amazon and they each barely produced over 60 watts in the same ideal conditions.This Renogy is a nice quality suitcase panel with quality latches, good rack system, and the padded case is nice too, (though it would be great if the added a shoulder strap to the case). I’d give 5 stars but it is a bit on the heavy side. But I suppose that’ll be a plus in windy conditions. Overall I highly recommend this panel 👍🏽👍🏽

We have a Renogy 20V system that came with the standard 42 x 20 panel. We wanted something a bit more portable. With morning sun this generated from 55 to 68 watts. I'm hoping weather permitting I'll get up to 500 watts per day out of it. It is heavy, but manageable. That weight makes it very sturdy for set-up. It may be a little pricey for what you get, but the next cheapest was the Jackery 60 watt. I figured for the extra money I'd get a lot more juice. Overall pretty happy with it.
