I now have 5 solar panels each 100W on my RV roof . I use a Renogy Rover Elite 40Amp12V/24V auto MPPT solar charge controller w/temp sensor to maintain 2 Batteries each 12.8V, 200AmhLithiumLiFe PO4 . The system has been keeping the batteries @ 13.4volts even when I am parked in shade . They have provided power enough over night to operate my Lady’s
oxygen machine , a fan in a ceiling port ,the TV and a couple of lights in the RV and in the morning had 12.9 volts (note the oxygen machine and tv are 110volt light and fan are 12 volts .We use a 2000watt inverter to provide the 110volts . All equipment is operating very well .

The trick is in the amount of batteries you have not on the amount of panels. I run a ton of electronics including a 50/100 watt tube power amp and have 4 100mono panels, 40amp controller and 700watt inverter with 2 cheap Walmart deep cycle batteries and I’m very pressed after the second battery l. I’m considering a third one and a much higher inverter and that should do all my needs. The RENOGY 40amp controller sucks though and had to put screws to wedge tight the cable tighteners on the holes, they don’t tighten well and constantly was screwing up the power till I literally screws the wires to the inserts, all of them! Besides that I’m happy.

Just spent the first few days and nights in the camper with the new panels providing light at night and coffee in the mornings. Thank you Renogy for nice panels and great customer service.

Overall a very good panel But there are some QC problems to be aware about. I purchased 9 of these and they all put out 100w or better. Two of them came wired or labeled with reverse polarity and caused a short circuit. I quickly discovered the problem and fixed it myself however there does appear to be a couple of dark discolored spots on one panel that might indicate over heating of a cell, possibly caused by the short circuit, possibly just came that way from the factory. Anyway before you install these panels definitely check them thoroughly for discoloration and correct polarity. They are otherwise excellent panels for the money.

My wife and I live in a 33 foot camper trailer, we enjoy the minimalist life, but experience power outages during the summer and winter. Over the past 3 years we have purchased several of these compact panels to recharge our AGM batteries, started out with 2, then 2 more. At 4 panels, a Renogy 200Ah AGM battery, and using the Wanderer charge controller, we still were not quite getting enough power from the panels to get us through a winter here in Northern Montana, so over the past 3 months we had made a decision to upgrade the existing system to a total of 6 compact design solar panels and the Rover Elite charge controller. Wired in series in 2 groups of 3 panels to a panel combiner box, we now get to float charge in about 2 hours on a sunny day, and on a overcast day we get to float charge in 4-5 hours. As an Amatuer Radio Operator, I am very pleased and impressed with these panels and Renogys products performance. This combination for the RV life style will make you want to unplug from the grid and put the utility bill in the rear view mirror.

I started with just 2×100 Watt Panels now I have a total of 900 Watts worth of Renogy Panels. These panels are the standard by which all others should be measured in my opinion, the quality is second to none and power absorption is phenomenal even in less than adequate sunlight conditions. mine have been hailed on, rained on, snowed on, and sand blasted in the desert southwest United States with out failure. I will recommend these panels to everyone.

Seems to work as it should and they were easy to attach and connect to the 4-1 harness. I chose these panels for their dimensions, so I was able to fit 4 to the roof of a 6.5’ camper shell.

Three of them bolted together makes a absolute perfect golf cart solar roof.
