I’ve ordered a total of 12 of these panels, and have 9 panels to show for it. I ordered the first group through Prime. The panels are packaged terribly, and if there’s anything that hits the center of the box then one or both of the panels will arrive broken and unusable. One of my boxes of two panels showed up broken, and I couldn’t believe how it was packaged. As you may imagine, because of the size and weight, it’s a real hassle to repackage and send them back to Amazon for a refund, let alone putting a total stall on my solar install. The second problem I had was trying to save a few bucks by ordering the 4 panel shipment (which IS NOT Prime). Do Not, I repeat DO NOt order these in any way other than Amazon Prime, as temping as it may be to try to save a few bucks. You won’t know it when you order, but I just received my panels today after a 5 or 6 week wait, and only received box of 2 and not the 4 panels. When I contacted Amazon, it was a time consuming and frustrating negotiation to get a reasonable refund of 50%. Amazon wanted to only refund 30%, not the logical 50%, and even that was after an hour or so of back & forth on chat customer service. I had to try everything to explain to Amazon I had purchased the product through them, not the manufacturer. So in summary, a good product, but really poor fulfillment on behalf of the manufacturer for any of the non-Prime product listings on by manufacturer. Buyer beware of using Amazon whenever it’s not Prime.

I had to order two sets of two panels to total four and they all shipped fast and arrived on time and undamaged. These panels were packed in two Renogy boxes containing two panels each and they were very well secured and packed. I had them mounted, connected in series, and working in three days time and measured open circuit in full sun 150 volts DC. Note that these are 24 volt 10 amp panels. I’m using these on a Bluetti AC200P solar power bank and now have charging power to spare. It’s like my power bank is drinking from a fire hose. It went from near zero to full charge in around 2½ hours. This fast charge rate still happened on an overcast day too due to being over-paneled at near 100%. This over performance is exactly what I was aiming for. Happy I spent the big bucks for these.
UPDATE June 2022 – Over the months as the days grew longer and less cloudy and the sun was more at a maximum peak angle the Bluetti power bank was going over max voltage and started to protest. I solved the overload problem by connecting two banks of solar panels in series and then paralleling the two series strings for a total of around 80-90 volts at 20 amps. I’ve been running this way for about 45 days and my power bank hasn’t protested once. Currently at summer solstice it’s not unusual for me to get 1100 watts per meter squared nearly every day here in Southern California. I hope this fix helps someone in a similar situation.

Came in properly packaged but both panelas are a little bit damaged most likely in the factory. One has a scratch on the outer glass the other one has bent on the frame. I connected them to the inventer and they gave me 380w in full sun with correct angle and temperature 77 degrees! One of them should generate 320W. I have different brand 4 panels 100W and at the same time got 350W. Something is not good with those panels. I expected at least 300W from one. Wasted money.

600 bucks for 640w worth of solar panel. Seems like a good value for 2023. They arrived well boxed and protected. I built a stand, for them. On sunny days, at good angles, I can get close to 600w coming in. I think 608 has been my all-time high. Even on cloudy days where tree’s cast no shadows, I can generally get 30-50w coming in. I am very happy with this purchase. I have it matched up with the Pecron E2000LFP.

First set of panels were destroyed during shipping, took a bit to troubleshoot with Renogy to confirm they were really toast. Ordered a replacement which was delayed several days. Finally have replacement panels and they appear to be ok even though the box again had a lot of damage, just a few scratches on the panels but seem to be working ok. So far the max watt I have seen from the two replacement panels is about 100W (rated at 640W max for the two) I’m hoping we get some sun soon as this has been a bit of a dud so far.

Work great ! Replaced 2 (out of 3 in the small array) Renogy 270w, 24vt polycrystalline panels destroyed in a 75+mph line squall, when the whole anchored mount came out of the ground and went airborne.
(Let me interject at this point . . . the original installer of this system I ultimately inherited, was unbelievably ignorant surrounding most all aspects of his installation. My advice? If you contract a complete system solar installer, seriously do your DD and if possible, get recommendations and inspect his/her completed projects. I have had to add myriad protections, calibrate all components to match factory engineering specs and completely replaced the ground mount array supports. I have decades of experience to match my low voltage education and certifications/licensure(s), but most people having a system installed will hardly ever know what they’re buying. The original owner found this guy on FB and just took for granted someone on FB would tell her the truth about his qualifications. He, of course, didn’t ! )
Adding these 2x320w mono-crystalline panels, (24vt rated and having a near identical physical footprint to the damaged 270w panels) exceed what should be a combined output spec by around 10% (+/-) without stressing the original panel’s tolerances.
Needless to say, I’m quite happy with my purchase.
