Renogy 100w Starter Kit

I am a RV Technician, and a good solar panel is the first thing I add to my personal RVs. Keeps the battery charged, and regardless of usage my battery(1 full one is all I need) is fully recharged by 2:00 the next day, I don't have to remove it during winter as charged batteries will not freeze. The benefits of battery health, and the need for fewer batteries are worth the cost of at least one solar panel. Mono-crystaline panels are well worth the cost, as amorphous panels loose their efficiency after a few years - google it. Mono-crystaline also work in well overcast and low light conditions, as well as performing better in a fixed mount setting. I got the 100 W kit with 30 Amp controller (plan to add more later) with the nice mounting brackets. Simple to install, with the caveat that you need to be smart enough to unscrew the leads before you try inserting and tightening the wires (I saw a review that slammed the quality of the controller because the wires would not screw down tight). I like the 20' of supplied wire (only needed about 8 on my RV, then 25' of 10/2 Romex from controller to battery). I get 15.4 V with sun direct overhead, and the controller knocks it down to 13.1 V to head towards the battery (I get < 0.1 V line loss in my configuration) Good price for the kit, and a well thought out contents. You need to supply the runs to battery and/or load, or use what is left from the 20' supplied. Brackets are super, as I have had to make my own in the past - not fun. Overall a great kit that I wish everyone had installed on an RV, especially those who call me and complain about $200 and up to replace batteries after a winter without removing or recharging them. Particularly important now with the 12 V slideouts - not fun if you dry camp and have to crank them in by hand (remove a lead to motor first, else they will backfeed the 12V system)

This panel works great. I have (4) panels total now on two different solar setups. I started experimenting with solar on some rural land to charge a 35aH battery 24/7/365 for general use. Performance has been great and I expanded from 1 to 2 panels there but still need to upgrade my battery size. Charging and maintaining using these panels and the controller has been flawless. No issue. Easy to setup and keep my 12v battery charged and recharged in any season. This past fall, I bought a second setup of 2 panels and controller to use in my workshed. It's all assembled and ready to go and I will get a battery and install there when winter is over.

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.

no possible to have assistance .... all back

funciona bien pero no lo probe bien porque estuvo nublado y sacaba pocos w

Todo en orden

Permet de recharger une batterie 75A 12v Avec un frigo nomade branché dessus Je conseille d'acheter le boîtier pour gérer avec l'application

So far very pleased with this kit, I added an extra panel which was very simple to connect and have it charging my leisure battery in my camper. I was unsure how many watts I would really need but 200 seemed a good place to start and provideds plenty of power in the sun, I had the 40amp mppt so I can always size up if the fridge draws too much power during the winter months. Would recommend 👍
