Renogy 200W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel Kit + 30A PWM Charge Controller

Very pleased with the quality of the product and installation documentation. The panels and charge controller are simply great quality. From the reviews I read before buying, Renogy stands behind its system and responds to troubleshooting customers - a big plus over competition in my purchase decision. A DIYer, I wired the Wanderer Charge Controller into the bedroom of our travel trailer to have immediate access to the system status (and to keep it dry), plus two ammeters; one to monitor solar charge rate to a battery bank and one to monitor our power draw from the same battery bank. That gives us the ability to see the automated doings of the Wanderer, which is really a superb quality charge controller. The system package came with everything necessary, except in-line fuses, to get hooked up to our battery bank (four deep cycle 12-volt flooded cell marine batteries with about 300 amp hour storage capacity) and to run the power cable leads about 8 feet away from the trailer. I purchased an additional 50 feet of power cable (on Amazon - Unlimited Solar's - Solar PV Cable Set with 2 x 50FT MC4 Wire Exntensions - 10 AWG) to be able to place the panels away from shade we might park the trailer in. The MC4 connectors are what Renogy uses and are compatible with other vendor MC4 extensions. For now we are laying the panels on the ground; I will build an adjustable stand for future camping trips. So far everything works great, panels have been in 7 hours of sun per day on two camping trips and kept us charged up for daily 12-volt use (lights, water pump, an electronic ignition propane fridge with a constant 12 watt/0.8 amp draw, propane furnace ignition and fan, CO2 detector). We have shifted our lights to LED's (lower power draw bulbs), but I expect this setup would keep up with higher incandescent bulb's power draw in camping spots with ideal panel exposure. I also plan to have a 200 watt AC inverter in the mix and expect that will be adequately supplied by the system. We really like camping away from campgrounds, in BLM deserts and National Forests, so this is a great set up for us. I will recommend to friends!

I bought this to use our camping. I already have a quiet generator, but I turn it off in the early evening so I don't bug other campers. With that said, This arrived right on time. Installation was pretty easy. I did not install on my roof, to many trees. I attached longer wiring so I could move the panels around to follow the sun. I installed a permanent connection on the outside of my trailer and made longer cords to attach the panels. and from there I contacted the controller on a cabinet right by my door for easy monitoring. I ran a dedicated circuit for my application. (I'm an electrician) The panels are heavier than expected but still easy enough to move around. The system worked without any problems. I only bought a 20ah lithium battery which worked for a few hours. I m buying a bigger battery. This system is only for running a few small items like a TV and DVD player Note: if you do have a generator you can charge the battery with a regular battery charger if there is no sun. Like up here in the pacific northwest. I have already ordered a 100ah lithium battery and 2 more panels so I can use it for longer and more devices. I would recommend this item to everyone.

Installed this system on my Toy Hauler RV. It is keeping the two batteries charged very nicely. We can watch a movie at night, and the batteries are fully charged by the next evening. I suspect we could watch a couple of movies, but I haven't done this yet. We use LED light bulbs throughout the RV to reduce consumption. I wish more people would go solar and use their generators less. Solar won't power the microwave or air conditioner, but it powers everything else. Some people complain about the controller, but I think it does fine. The complaint is that it doesn't have a meter to show voltage or current. In my opinion, you only want this in the beginning to see how efficient your system is. The controller has LEDs that show when it is charging and when it is in maintenance charge mode (batteries full). I have an inexpensive volt meter that plugs into the 12 volt outlet. Good enough for me. Do not buy the huge fuse holder and 100A fuses that appear as "Items other people bought with this." The correct fuses are 15A and 30A, and you can use standard automotive fuse holders. There is an inexpensive meter that appears when you purchase this, and I recommend that you fully read the instructions and develop a plan before buying it. This meter can only tell you what is happening at the point of installation. For example, some people install this between the panels and the controller (shows panel output), between the controller and the batteries (shows controller output), or between the batteries and the load (shows what the appliances are actually using from the battery). In my opinion, the last application is the only one I care about on an ongoing basis, and the installation for this application is independent of the solar install. Also, take the time to look up the recommended roof attachment procedures for your type of roof. I have an EPM roof, so I looked at the manufacturer videos for attaching a fan to an EPM roof and used those as a guide. I was surprised to learn that butyl tape is the first line of defense and the self-leveling caulk was the second line of defense. If the roof leaks, dry rot will likely follow, and that can be expensive at best or ruin the RV. Some people commented that the connectors are difficult to separate, but there is an inexpensive tool you can buy at checkout to make this easy. The instructions say to hook up the solar panels last or cover them so they don't produce a charge until after they are connected to the controller. I cut cardboard covers from the shipping box and taped them to the panels. This allowed me to lay out everything before the final attachment.

Works great and easy install. Giving it a 4 star because the dimensions of the solar panels are wrong by several inches. This required me to order another solar panel for it to work for my purposes. They controller is rated for 400w so adding another 100w panel worked just fine.

Using to power to 12 v pumps via a deep cycle battery on my trailer . So far so good . Keeeos battery charged while using through an entire day

This my third Renogy system. This one is hooked up to a 400w ups battery and runs string lights, charges phones, accessories, provides lighting, runs a diesel heater, and a water pump. Still makes 17.5v in the shade.

I installed this on my trailer. I liked the fact that the charge controller could have handled up to four panels. The 200w setup is adequate for my needs. I added a second deep discharge battery to the trailer to contain the charge. I also added a sine wave inverter to operate the 110v appliances in the trailer, direct connected to the battery. After installing the panels on the roof, I don't plug the trailer in anymore to charge it. The entire system is capable of running a few light appliances like TVs, power drills, etc. It cannot run the air conditioner, microwave, or other high power appliance. I have not experienced running out of power at night, but then I haven't really tried to stress it. One time when the power was out in the house, I used the system to run a light and a drill. Nice to have a backup power source. Installation was easy, although I didn't use the provided tiedown fasteners. I actually liked the tiedown fasteners described in the manual, which are rubber expanding bolts that hold the mounts secure from the back side. However, that was not what came with the panels. I found that the roof was actually something like 3/8 plywood decking, and used wood screws and proper roof sealant throughout. One hint I would give is to NOT try out the snap in power connectors before you are ready. They are unbelievably difficult to get apart again. I don't know why everyone is so down on the controller. It works fine, and gives good status indications. Apparently the "ultimate" charge controller is supposed to be a Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. But according to what I have read, this means it optimizes charging my knowing where the sun is at maximum, by remembering the peak power generation time of the panel. This would have no use in any case for a trailer, because that is going to change when you move the trailer.

I bought this to get started and after realizing these two panels will max out around 150watts and more consistently put out 25-50 watts I added more panels. Im currently running a total of 700 rated watts of panels off this 400 watt controller from the 200 watt starter kit. I bought the BT controller so I could monitor the output of the panels. The panels are hitting 400 watts at times and the controller doesn’t have any issues handling it. I will probably upgrade the controller at some point, but so far this one works great and it seems to do a good job of keeping the batteries healthy. I would buy this 200w kit from Renology again in a second! We are using this to run a 36x72 barn off the grid. For our scenario Solar is a cheaper and better option.

Nice solar kit. Have these installed temporarily for now since the ground is frozen. Using to power lights in the shed. Includes almost everything you need for a basic setup. You need to buy fuses for between the panels and controller and also for between the controller and battery. Panels seem well built and are very sturdy. MC4 connectors make connecting them simple and weather tight. Wire sheathing is brittle when cutting.

ركبتهم على سيارتي جمس يوكن مع بطاريه 200 امبير جل والاداء ممتاز

C'est ma première expérience avec des panneaux solaires et ils fonctionnent bien. Je fais en moyen 1,3 Kwh par jour en ce moment avec un bon soleil. J'ai remplacé le convertisseur du kit qui n'est pas terrible par un convertisseur MPPT beaucoup plus sérieux de chez Victron. Il faut également acheter une batterie à décharge lente pour pouvoir stocker l'électricité produite.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung ( 1 Tag ) und Top Solaranlage mit allem was dazu gehört (außer Batterie ). Einfache Montage für jedermann und super Preis .

取り付けが楽でわない。
