Flexible Solar Panel 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Semi-Flexible Bendable Mono Off-Grid Charger for Marine RV Cabin Van Car Uneven Surfaces

I've been using two of the Renogy 100 watt flexible solar panels for about 3 years with our van. I mounted them to 1/8" plywood and deploy them whenever we're camped. They've worked great, and I've seen as high as 175 watt output in right conditions. I have a 25 foot cable, and like being able to park in the shade and put the panels in the sun as opposed to having them on the van roof. These are very durable and should last for many years.

i used 2 of these for my camper solar set up. they are mounted on the roof with VHB tape. i run the cables to a Renogy controller and then to my LiFePO4 batteries. they work well to keep my batteries charged.

Easy to install, lightweight, robust and great electrical efficiency.

I originally purchased a 200 watt Goal Zero briefcase but it is too bulky and heavy for me to use so I purchased 2 of the 100 watt Renogy flexible monocrystalline panels based on the good reviews here on Amazon. With the goal zero 200 watt briefcase, the most I got was 127 watts. The Renogy set gave 157 watts max (but that was with the MPPT charge controller) though they mostly hovered around the 140's watt input which I think is pretty good. I tried just one panel plugged into the standard charger (without the MPPT charge controller) and it actually pulled 61 watts at one point but then dropped and hovered around 50-55 watts. This was about 4pm, Mid August, in Sunny San Diego. I'm happy with the purchase because they are so lightweight and they work pretty darn good so far on this first day trying it out in the backyard. The only thing I don't understand is why Renogy made the positive cables so short. As they are, I cannot lay the panels side by side unless they are head to head on the short side of their rectangular shape. I will have to purchase some type of extension cable. Why in the world do they make them this way? I wonder if I will lose wattage after installing the extension cable. All in all, I am satisfied with this purchase and if they hold up over time, I will purchase again. Mine came with 3 grommets along each side of the panels, a total of 6 grommets on each panel.

Update May 2025: I reached out to Renogy and they have shipped me a replacement panel, no hassle. This is in line with what I have experienced from Renogy in the past: solid customer service and decent product. - - - - Would be two stars because this was listed at a low price since it was a seller return. I should have known better than to buy a customer return. I just got around to looking closer at it today (when I'm outside the return window) and 12 of the 36 cells are delaminating, or at least full of bubbles. I have been a Renogy customer for years and have several of their more-expensive products like a 48V 3500W Solar Inverter Charger, and have been generally happy. But now I am profoundly disappointed that Amazon passed on this defect to a customer on Renogy's behalf.

I purchased two Renogy 100 watt Flexible panels to charge a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 solar generator. We live in Florida and experienced a glancing blow from Hurricane Irma last year that left us without power for a few days. Although my neighbors had gas generators, keeping them filled with gasoline was the big challenge. I have been running tests with my Renogy panels and Goal Zero generator that I use to power a mini freezer. So far it appears that we will be able to run the freezer by charging during the day and running the generator at night. We are hoping to be able to make ice for our coolers as well as some for various neighbors who don't have generators. ( Getting ice was the another challenge last year.) Of course the biggest mystery is, if we really get slammed with a direct hit will any of this matter anyways! (I'll get back to you if that happens, if I can!) But I really like the Renogy flexible panels for my purpose. I like that they are lightweight, easy to move and haul in and out of the house. I made frames for them out of small PVC pipes so that I can adjust them with the sun's movement. (By the way, if you purchase Renogy panels and extension cables, which you will need - buy 2 cables for each panel. To solar experts, that's probably obvious, but to the rest of us, not so much. Fortunately, I read an Amazon review and knew to do this.) Prior to purchasing, I emailed Renogy with a few questions and they were very good and generous with their time, info and patience. (I think their website needs to be a little less slick and more informative - my only complaint for Renogy.) Renogy has a good reputation and I will say these panels seem well built and substantial. Unfortunately I have had a little glitch with the Goal Zero (which is being replaced) so I had to curtail my tests. I was able to get 140 watts from my two 100 watt panels. I realize that you never get 200 watts from 200 watt panels, so I figured we were doing okay. If I find I do any better when my Goal Zero is replaced, I will add to this review.

The 100 watt panel works well. I measured 5.9 amps being produced in full sun. Pros: 5.9 amps measured current 5 year material warranty, 25 year power output warranty. Nobody else even comes close to that. Connectors look solid and well fastened to panel. Cons, which are minor: Has a textured surface, supposedly to catch the light better. May be harder to clean. 7 inches longer than Renogy's prior version of a flexible panel. Has one long and one short connector wire. Long wire should be about 2 inches longer so matches short wire length when both wires routed to short wire side. For those of you measuring watts produced, be aware that the specs say 5.29 amps at 18.9 volts (surprising that I measured 5.9 amps) 5.29 amps × 18.9 volts = 100 watts. But if you have a PWM solar controller, it just chops off the volts above 14.4 or whatever your controller max voltage is, and you just lose it. An MPPT controller will convert some of the extra voltage to amps, but it's not 100 percent efficient. Edit: After a few months it's down to 5.3 amps.

Ordered 3 panels for my Sprinter Camper, as per Renogy installation instructions glued then to the roof of my van. Output was low to start but I live in MN so wrote it off to less Sun. Went to California for 2 months, output has dropped even more, 3 panels in parallel in bright clear sunshine are producing less than 5 amps. Bought two cheap Harbor Freight panels, layed them on top of the Renogy panels, the cheap panels are over 10 amps with just two of them, exactly what they are rated at. Talked to tech support, rather I tried but everytime the tech was supposed to answer they hung up, called back 5 times same thing every time. I then went to email, after a couple day wait for a response they asked me to do some tests and send some pictures and video. I did as asked. Another couple day wait,, Then wanted followup video of the lights on the controller. Another wait and they sent a group of photos showing me how to do the same tests I had already done, with examples that weren't even the same panels I have. I got the distinct feeling I was being run around in the hope that I would just go away. I've been an electronics tech for 50 years, had my own shop for 45. I will never buy another Renogy product and advise everyone else not to as well. It's my own fault for ignoring the negative reviews, I hope all of you are wiser ! Update: Renogy has told me they would take the panels back, minus 10% plus I am responsible for shipping on thier defective product. I asked them how I am supposed to remove the panels THEY told me to glue on to my roof, according to Renogys installation instructions, without damaging the panels or my roof. They haven't responded yet.

Di ottima manifattura e buona resa. L'ho montato da poco ma per ora sono soddisfatto!

Premiers essais très positifs, finition de bonne qualité, à voir dans le temps. monté de manière non permanente sur un van de manière à pouvoir optimiser l'orientation. J'ai réussi à avoir 89w max.

薄くてコンパクトで、いい感じです。

Amazing quality and great output for its size

Oft halten die flexiblen Module nicht so lange. Ich habe in 8 Jahren mit Renogy nun bereits die dritten Flexi Module auf dem Dach. Bei meinem Mobil sind feste Module keine Option. Diese Renogy Module haben ein Top Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Die Anschlüsse mit den MC4 Steckern sind robust ausgelegt, so dass ich denke dass sie eine Weile halten werden. Ich habe jetzt Mitte Februar Mittags mit 2x100 Watt Modulen 80 Watt Ertrag gehabt. Das ist wirklich sehr gut 👍. Die Verarbeitung war einfach, da sie einfach aufgeklebt werden. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Lieferung war ordentlich und die Module waren gut verpackt.
