This is a top-shelf panel constructed with obvious pride, and is the second I’ve purchased via Amazon for battery charging on an RV. It is relatively light-weight, yet sturdy, and is ideal for the applications that I selected it for; mounting on the front of the RV on a piano-type hinge, supported by gas-assist struts when deployed. It is securely dogged-down for travel on rubber bumper “feet” mounted to the bottom edge, and can be raised and made fast to any angle up to about ten degrees above the horizontal for best exposure, depending upon where the rig is parked and the angle of the solar ecliptic.The mounting location on the front of the RV trailer is actually over the front window and window cover, but does not impede the operation of the window when the panel is deployed. I selected this installation method both for short cable proximity to the charge controller and my batteries, the convenience of mounting the charge controller under cover close to the batteries, and to permit the installation without additional roof penetrations for the mounting hardware.
I have just completed the actual mount, and have not yet connected the module, but the first application has worked flawlessly, and the module’s output was as advertised. I was able to purchase most of the associated hardware through Amazon, although this time I have opted for much lighter-weight capacity gas struts, as the 60# capacity struts were way over-kill. I utilized structural aluminum bar and tube stock for the hinge attachment carrying point, which I attached to the front of the trailer with robust screws and embedded in epoxy. It is possible that some similar applications would require actual through-bolting with a backing plate or equivalent reinforcement.
The charge controller employs a nifty programmable load center, which will be useful for a motion-detector security light/porch light arrangement.This controller would be perfect if it incorporated a clear dust cover.
The fact that Renogy has assembled a complete solar-electric charging module kit greatly simplifies the installation, and as mentioned at the outset of this comment, the quality of manufacturing is truly outstanding, and is very reasonable priced on a cost-per basis. Backed by Amazon’s superb point-of-sale and delivery, I’m glad I chose Renogy for my first and second go-rounds, and I will certainly do so again!

This is a great kit , and super easy to install. works very well. I bought this to use with a 3500 watt inverter and 2 100 amp hour lithium iron batteries to run the lights and small appliance at my off grid cabin. It works great and I will be adding 3 more of theses panels and 6 more batteries for a bigger system. I am a first time solar DIY guy and this system was easy to use and expand.

Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit w/100W Solar Panel + 30A PWM Negative ground Charge Controller + MC4 Connectors +Tray Cable+ Mounting Z Brackets for RV, Boat
I purchased this to install on the Roof of my Jeep wrangler (overland built) to serve as a way to charge an auxiliary deep cycle battery which powers my permanently mounted ARB fridge as well as all the camp LED lights and recharge phones and electronic equipment. I was fairly new at this solar thing but did a ton of research on the subject before settling on this. There are tons of off-brand products in this category as well as a vast array of pricing options, both higher and lower than this set up. However, after careful consideration and countless review reading and youtube watching, I decided that this set up was best suited for my application.
The problem: I built my Jeep to do some overlanding and one thing that I cannot live with is my ARB fridge which is permanently mounted in the kitchen which sits in the back of the car. The car doesn’t have a dual battery system and so the fridge is/was plugged into the cranking battery which is not optimal as you do run the risk of the fridge draining your cranking battery and leaving you stranded (NOTE: Fridge does have a shut off feature which measures the voltage of the battery and turn itself off if said voltage is below “x” volts. Also my Jeep is a standard so I can push it / get a quick tow to get it started and I do always have a battery pack / starter as a precaution…).
The solution: Getting an auxiliary battery to supply the fridge (and other accessories) and a solar panel to keep this battery topped off while at camp and on the road.
I chose Renogy after my many hours of research because of the name brand recognition and the the many reviews that seem to point at a great company with solid products and good support. So far I can say that the reviews are 100% correct in that I made the right choice. The package arrived well wrapped and precisely as advertised. The panel is solidly built and all the cabling provided is the correct gauge with the proper connectors. I really wanted to get a name brand Charge controller after reading that cheaply made units can both be highly inefficient and could be dangerous. In hindsight I probably would rather the version of the solar charge controller than has the integrated LED screen providing the charging and consumption metrics but price point on this project was met with the simpler unit. I am using some third party units to measure charging metrics and load usage which is fine but does require more wiring.
The panel comes with all the brackets to install in on a flat surface and my guess is that 90% of the time people will need to do some custom installation of sort so these brackets, although perfectly adequate for a flat install are useless to me at the moment. All the connections are well made and this gives me no reason to believe that they will not last a long time. Right now in full sun and FLAT on my roof rack (note: flat is not optimal as the sun is never perfectly perpendicular to the panel and a 45 degree angle would be better to adjust for the that) the panel does produce about 5.5/6 AmpH and about 24 volts which according to what I calculated will be more than adequate to keep the smaller deep cycle (35amp hour) battery I am using topped off and run all the accessories I want to run off of it.
I intent to post photos of the set up once it’s complete as well as add to this review when i have had a chance to use the system to a greater extent.
