A grommet was attached to each corner of my panel. On top of these I sewed three inches of canvas reinforcement and then I sewed one inch. A total of 16 1/16-inch holes should be drilled around the edges of the 5 inch nylon washers. Bolting the panel through the grommets at these locations was then necessary. My next step was to drill 1/16-inch holes 1/2 inch apart along its edges and sew those to the canvas in order to prevent wind from getting under it. In my opinion, the whole panel could have been done that way if the grommets weren't present.
It is absolutely true. Even the Jackery has the solar to dc adapter included, so you don't have to buy any extra parts. Two 160-watt panels are connected in series and plugged directly into my Jackery. It works like a charm.
It is agreed. One cable being so short makes no sense, and having diodes facing opposite directions makes no sense either. When connecting 2 panels, finding the branch connectors is a real pain in the ass. The geniuses at Renogy are hard at

We no longer have access to the panel. It produces no output of any kind. panel surface has delaminated from the substrate and a large amount of water has penetrated and damaged the material A short circuit was created in the underlying electronics or a cell was omitted. It occurred on a roof of an RV so no one ever walked there. The claim that it can be glued to a boat the claims are really strange I have no idea what it feels like to walk upon. Unfortunately, I was unable to get in touch with Renogy. During my call, I talked to Amazon &aposs customer service They arranged to have the replacement panel sent to me for no It's been a pleasure doing business with As for how to safely remove the glued down defective panel without ripping the rubber roof, it is left up to me. As I have no other choice I will replace the Renogy panel just because it is my only My budget doesn't allow me to buy another type of The lack of customer service after the sale and the lack of even basic information about Renogy makes me never want to purchase anything from them again It is questionable whether or not their products are of good quality.
It is difficult to get in contact with Renogy customer service. The panel literally falls apart after 1 week. As you can see on the picture. This is a serious defect. Customers have no contact with Renogy Customer Service. In their eyes, it is your own problem and you should deal with it on your own. To avoid dealing with this company, I will simply say to stay away.
There is a serious problem with quality control with this item. Two solar panels are installed on the roof of my RV, and after four months, I observed that my batteries did not charge fully even after a whole day of sunshine. Around high noon in the middle of may, when they were brand new, I was typically getting about 250 watts between the 2 (160 x 2 = 320 watts). It could have been better, or it could have been Now however, I am lucky if I can get 90 watts on each of the 2 panels following 4 months of testing. There is a possibility that one of the panels might have stopped producing power completely. This would be in keeping with the time of the year during which our review takes place. There are large white spots on the panel that look exactly like those that other reviewers have reported. Additionally, I just thought I would let you know. These were installed with 3M VHB on the bottom and Eternabond on the top to hold them down as a double-safe measure, and I have to say that given a few more months, they would have flown away. A gromet hole is required to screw down these. The only thing I regret is that I did not glue and pour self leveling sealant all over my roof, because then I would have never been able to get these off, which I will have to figure out now*(Update) In this letter, I will provide an update on Renogy's customer service. It has been over a year since Renogy has responded to my emails, which is far less than helpful, and I have created a number of tickets online. It has been over a year, and still no response. The most important concern I had when ordering a product like this was the delivery.
In order to charge a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 solar generator, I bough two Renogy 100 watt Flexible panels. A few days ago we experienced a light blow from Hurricane Irma that left us without power. Gas generators were a big problem, even for my neighbors. They simply couldn't be kept filled with gasoline. In tests with my Renogy panels and Goal Zero generator I use to power a mini freezer, I have made to see if they work. According to our current plan, we will be able to charge the freezer during the day and run the generator at night when the power is needed. In addition to making ice for our coolers, we will also be able to make ice for our neighbors who are without (Getting ice last year was also a challenge. (I will let you know if that happens! They are lightweight, easy to transport in and out of the house and easy to move around. With the help of small PVC pipes, I made frames for them so that I can adjust them to follow the sun. - (By the way, if you purchase Renogy panels and extension cables Each panel should be connected with two cables. It's probably obvious to solar experts, but it's not so obvious to the rest of us. A review on Amazon reminded me to do this, so I knew it. - (I think their website could be a little less slick and more detailed. The only thing I don't like about Renogy is their pricing. reputation, and these panels are well constructed and appear solid. As a result of a small glitch with the Goal Zero (which is being replaced), my tests had to be curtailed. Despite my two 100 watt panels being only 100 watts, I managed to obtain 140 watts. As I understood, there was no way to get 200 watts from 200 watt panels, so I thought I was In the future, I will improve this review if I find I do better with a new Goal Zero.
My Road Trek Van was originally equipped with two other brands of panels that eventually failed. I decided to install these ones. Two months of hot sun have gotten the best of me so far. In order to charge or top-off, I would need voltage and current With the help of a 20 a controller, an AGM house battery is fed. There seems to be a higher level of quality in these panels than in those they replaced. benefit of these panels is that they are close in width to the old panels, so I was able to use the mirror holder brackets and rubber spacers to attach them with the same mounting holes as.
A week ago we spent a week camping off-grid using the flexible solar panel that we glued onto the roof of our tent trailer. It was more than adequate for charging our batteries since it provided 100 watts of power. Over the course of the week, we used an electric water pump, fan, lights and a gas heater with a fan, and we never experienced a voltage drop. Solar cells such as this one are exceptionally well constructed, and they performed as expected.
