Renogy200W Portable Solar Panel, IP65 Waterproof Foldable Solar Panel Power Backup, Solar Charger for Power Station RV Camping Off Grid

So far this product has been outstanding. I use it to charge my Goal Zero 1500x and according to the Goal Zero app I'm getting up to nearly 195 watts. Of course this can vary quite a bit but getting 150 to 180 watts is fairly typical on bright sunny days. I purchased them on sale which cost only $1 per watt, which is a bargain.One thing I do is put them on an inexpensive plastic tarp to reduce wear on the panels, especially when sitting on rough hard surfaces like asphalt. The tarp also makes it easier to turn the panels to follow the sun. The stands on the back of the panels can be a bit awkward to use, but if I set up the two middle panels first with the two outside panels folded on them, then unfold the two outer panels it seems pretty easy.

Let me start with this product is awesome. Not only does a deliver, it goes above and beyond. I'm using this product for my vehicle. Because I live in the vehicle. And it folds up where I can use it In my vehicles windshield Fitz perfect. I also unfold that all the way when I'm in my vehicle. And I put it on top of my Cheap cherokee let me tell you this the wind Blew it off the top of my car It did not Break, it landed on asphalt. The only thing that happened was the connector cables. Pull the wires out just a little bit. I was able to push them back in and I got power again. I lost power when this Happened only with the connector cables. The USB still had power. So I took a butterlook at the cables that was powering. My charger controller from Renogy Once I pushed the wires back in power down through the main cables. If this happened to you just looking side the connectors And you can tell if the cables are been pulled out a little bit. Highly recommend this project

I bought this panel to augment the 200W panel that came with my Anker storage battery. I like this panel better than the Anker panel. This panel is easier to deploy and to put away, than the Anker panel. I like the attachment cords on the panel; they are long enough to make attaching extension cables easy and allow flexibility in how you can place the panel. I really like that you can attach USB charging cables directly to the panel. I consider this panel to be a solid purchase that delivers at a level far above its purchase price. If I purchase another solar panel in the future, I would repeat this purchase.

I plugged this into my RV to charge the RV battery and within minutes the solar panel controller was toasted. I don't think it's a good idea to try to use these on a RV that has it's own built in controller. At first I thought I may just have to throw this solar panel in the trash but that didn't set well with me as in wasted money. So I cut the controller out of the panel and tossed it in the trash. I added a SAE quick connect plug to the wires that were connected to the controller and viola, the panel works stand alone without a controller. In direct sunlight it was producing 22 volts. Might get more out of the panel this way. My RV solar controller will accept up to 35 volts. 22 volts is much better than 12 volts. I think solar panels should come with the SAE plug and the controller should be an option. DOKIO has this option. I'm not saying DOKIO is better but I do like how the controller is optional to use.

I bought this for one particular reason and that was to keep my Jackery 10000 power inverter charged while camping off grid. I just received it about a week ago and just recently put it through a test run in my backyard. Sunny 67degree day I was getting a strong 120 watts. My camp refer draws roughly 55 watts. I tested it a full 48 hours and it kept the refer at 37degrees and my jackery never dropped below 99%. In a hotter climate I’m sure there will be a bit more draw but I’m confident it’s going to work for what I need it to do. Im pleasantly surprised.

I got this the previous day, and set it up with the MPPT charge controller in my RV, which has a 280AH LiFePO4 battery. I made sure that the AC charger was off, and fired up the 2KW inverter, and plugged in a 1500W space heater. At first, I was showing about 170 watts, but as the sun climbed higher in the sky (and I also was using the built-in panel stands) I eventually was showing 190 watts, which is more than I have ever had, even from a pair of HQST rigid-frame panels. The Renogy unit is a bit heavier than I expected, but very well made, has convenient carrying handles, MC-4 connectors, and a couple of USB sockets for device charging. This portable panel will actually replace the pair of HQST panels (which I still like very much) in my RV, as the Renogy product is much easier to store and move around. I will update this review after I have put some hours on the panels, but the initial impression is 5 stars!

I bought this to charge my Anker power station. No fault to this product, but in order to charge the power station, you need at least 600 W of solar, in order to useAnd charge at the same time. It's my Anker product does not allow six hundred watts of solar input

Straight to the point: most I can draw on a perfectly clear day at noon during the summer in the midwest US is roughly 130W. On a rainy day: 30WMy power station is a Jackery explorer 1000 v2.If that is fine for your purposes, it folds well, feels reasonably sturdy, and has those helpful USB connections directly embeded.
