This has been a great learning journey for me. In my video, I had just set my circuitry up and wanted to run a test to see if it would power my Gaming PC and it works flawlessly. During the day(on the weekends) I can game and depending on the game I’m playing, it can stay topped off at 100% battery charge and only drains about 5 amps at most while the sun’s out. My PC normally is around 180 watts and on higher end games draws around 480 watts nearly 20 amps so at night I make sure to only game about 2 to 3 hours before my 200Ah battery gets near 50%. I got my wife using it now and she’s become energy cognizant making sure to even remind me to use our solar power system that we setup together. We love it and this is one of my favorite purchases that I’ve ever made of all time! I got the whole kit during a sale and it was totally worth it. I highly recommend anyone interested in solar to go this route. I accidentally drained my battery to 77A and the solar panels charged it back to 200A in 8 hours and that was with clouds. Usually on a full sunny day you’ll be able to run lots of appliances if you get the 2000 watt inverter. We’ve run a 10A vacuum cleaner with ease, our magic bullet blender, my 10A Bluetooth Aura 3 bass speaker, my work laptop 50-150 watts, Keurig 1500 watts (good for 2 cups only draws a lot of power) , we’ve charged our rechargeable batteries, our phones , USB lights,etc… The point being this is the best for a beginner like me. It was not super hard to setup. Make sure you get a battery shunt to better monitor your battery. That was why I ended up draining down to 77amps. The Bluetooth feature is nice but as you’ll see if you use only that it is totally unreliable for a battery monitor. Either way the best part about it, is you learn so much and gain new skills. Highly recommend this product! I’ve officially gone solar off grid for my basic appliance needs! Also exuse my cables running everywhere on the floor it was a temporary setup to test what I was trying to do. Excuse the mess in general 😂

This was a great starter kit to learn about Solar. – You should plan on getting extra cables; it only comes with one set.
– I used plastic mounts to attach the panels to my RV roof as I didn’t like the cheap aluminum brackets that came with the kit.
– The Bluetooth app is great for setting up charge parameters and monitoring panel output. The historic performance graphs are poor.

I had researched solar builds and decided my shed would be a good proof of concept to later do a full build on my house. Its a standard 28×70 ranch. The shed was 10×12. I bought the Renogy kit after reviewing the Eco product and similar others. The equipment arrived promptly and I was quite fortunate as no parts were broke in shipment. Renogy’s kit takes out all of the guess work. It had 4 x 100w Solar Panels, the 40a MPTT charge controller and the cabling as well as the bluetooth module. As well I followed “DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse”. He will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about setup of solar, ad nausem 🙂 As you can see I added in a ANL bus bars. The batteries were 2 x 12v 50a LiPOFe. They are a bit pricey but allow a drain as low as 5-10%. That alone is worth the money.
I use the power for the shed lights, and outlets. I can hold a 1/2 ” corded drill on for a good 10mins at full spin using the Renogy 2000w inverter and it only degrades the batteries 20-30%. But that is not real work. I used my electric chain saw for 2-3 hours no worries. And my electric log splitter. During peak of day, the 4 x 100w panels keep the batteries full while I work. Not even sure it degrades much. I did drain the batteries one time by leaving all dc lights on and the 2000w inverter with a 12 inch electric fan running. But that was only once and proved that the system could recharge the batteries within 4 – 6 hours or less.
The bluetooth modules maximizes the value. The Renogy DC Home app collects monthly data and provides realtime metrics for the system. I keep the inverter directly off the battery and not the charge controller. The load on the controller is only rated <20 amps. So I power my DC marine panel that supplies LED lighting and a 12v bench test power.
I couldn’t be happier. I have been running successfully from late August ’21 to present mid Dec ’21. I do not anticipate issues.
UPDATE:
I am now at May ’24 and the system still runs like a champ. I did upgrade my battery to a 2800wh LiFOe. I wanted to run wireless bridge from my house to a small switch and a small PC for a “remote” site. The power last a weekend without sun.
Has proven a fine investment.

Well worth the money. I’m happy I decided to give solar a try. Thinking about adding 4 more panels to my system, it’d give more me than enough power and I’d be able to be completely off grid.

Arrived in record time, 2 days, awesome! Unfortunately one panel was shattered and I had to send it back. Would i purchase again? Yes! I figure eventually I’ll get one with all the pieces intact.

I’ve purchased Renogy products for other applications. Given the overall quality, it’s time to do it again. The kit was pretty much as expected. It does the job and works well. I have a few things to criticize:
1) The wiring from the panels to the controller is a bit short. I installed this system on a class A motorhome. The wiring from the roof, down the rear cap, into the electrical box just barely reached. Another meter would be just fine.
2) The 30 amp fuse block is a bit big and clunky. It was hard to find a place to mount it so that all the wiring worked out.
3) There was an extra 10 amp fuse included with panel style connectors on it. Had no idea where to put it as it is underrated for the combined output of the panels.
4) No instructions! Good thing I’m an electrical engineer and know what to do with this stuff. Only the controller had instructions of any kind.
5) The BT-1 remote monitor accessory is a joke. It can’t be paired correctly, and takes a long time to get connected and display anything. All I want to do is see what the battery level is and how much current is being pushed. A simpler hardwired panel would be much better and faster to use.
Overall, a good value. I’d recommend this to others.

This is a great kit. It comes with almost everything you need. Fuses, wiring, controller, mounts, panels and all the bolts and screws you need. I had to buy a solar array disconnect switch separately. The system took me about 6 hours to install. Most of that time was spent fishing wires through my camper walls. I wired the panels in 2 series, 2 parallel. Once hooked up I put my camper in a sunny area and was getting 260 watts, will work even better in full sun. Not bad given there was some small shaded areas on the panels and they are laying flat. Don’t expect to get 400 watts unless your panels are directly facing full sun. That is how solar works. I bought the BL1 Bluetooth as well and it is awesome for monitoring the system which I have hidden out of sight. I can camp anywhere for any amount of time now with no shortage of power. Great value for the money. There are no instructions. If you don’t know what you are doing, pay someone who does or educate yourself accordingly.
