This is about the minimum Solar Panel I can use for my newest setup to use in my sheds to recharge my Milwaukee and Ryobi batteries that power my numerous hand tools. 50-Watt 12-Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel this is a well-built sturdy unit. This unit can also be used in relay to expand the wattage output to support and charge larger battery banks. I have been producing free electric for about 7 years now for my shed’s electrical needs. I knew virtually nothing when I first began building these solar farms. This of course is small stuff compared to On-Grid setups but it is a hobby of mine and an enjoyable feeling knowing you can make your own free and clean energy. This is the power of the future I just wish more people would get on board and go solar power. Go Green save the planet.

Flexible solar panels have gotten a bad rap for durability and long-term performance. This 50 watt monocrystalline flexible panel seems to be the next generation featuring a ETFE surface that is textured to capture more of the refractive light and increase the output efficiency of the panel. This panel appears well made and perfect for mounting on curved surfaces or utilizing them loose as a portable panel that is easy to stow away at 2.9 pounds and only 1″ thick at the junction box. The rated open circuit output for this panel is 22.6 volts and 2.92 amps, during my field test I measured 19.16 and 2.54 amps, so pretty good overall. Comparing this panel to an older flexible panel it seems Renogy has worked on improving the durability by using IP68 rated junction boxes and a textured ETFA surface on top of the EVA film. Backing Renogy’s commitment, this panel features a 5-year material & workmanship warranty as well as a diminishing 25-year output warranty to still have 80% efficiency, which is very impressive

The RENOGY 10-WATT 12-VOLT MONOCRYSTALLINE SOLAR PANEL is a fun project for me. It is the perfect size so that I was able to use some para-cord to hang it from a trellis. This makes it easy to move so it is out of the way until I need it and then I can move it into the sun. I have a Renogy charge controller, a power inverter and 2 batteries, so now I can still charge my power tool batteries, phone, and laptop if the power is out.

Let me start this review by making clear that this 10-watt 12-volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel from Renogy is just the panel. It doesn’t come with a charge controller or any connections other than the positive/negative wires that carry power out from the panel. If you plan to tie this into an existing system, great – no other parts needed. If you want to use it for anything else, you’ll need to buy the needed charge controller, etc. separately. Having said that, this is a very well-made solar panel. The frame is very solid, allowing the panel to stand up well to wind and weather. The small size makes finding a space to mount this panel easy. Overall, this panel would make a fine addition to any solar system for an RV or boat. Highly recommended!

I bought this more out of curiosity to see what I can do with it. I had the idea of powering a small flood light in the yard so I wouldn’t have to run power cords over to it and worry about hitting it with the mower. It will work perfectly for that. Since them I’ve been thinking of other ways to use this to power little things around the house. I can’t wait till summer.

Bought these panels from Home Depot. Was able to purchase them for less than it would cost from renogy. They work great for keeping my bluetti solar generator charged up.

I’ll be purchasing more when the price returns to my sale price.
