Renogy 220W Portable Solar Panel, Premium Materials for Decades of Use

This is a very good, small portable panel. It's easy to stow away & is lightweight. I haven't used it much but so far ikt has served me well.

Solid 180 watts output, which is expected for a PV module in real-world conditions. (Standard test conditions for PV modules are different from real life. No matter the manufacturer, you'll end up getting 75%-85% rated output depending on temperature and solar insolation.) Easy to set up, as advertised. On a "typical" summer day you'll get about 1 kWh energy, so it pairs well with any portable battery inverter that has 1 - 1.5 kWh of battery capacity. I like the included nylon case with a large pocket to carry extension cables (not included). It's light enough to be easily portable, heavy enough to not blow away, and sturdy enough to last many years. This 220w Renogy panel would be perfect for the day-trip outing where a portable battery by itself might fall a bit short.

Love these panels!! Durable good quality and works great for my application. I have owned these for about a year now. They are great for camping trips, charging my Jackery and Bluetti. They are compact and easy to set up. My only complaint is the lead is short. Will purchase another set to have double the input.

This is our third Renogy solar panel. The original 200w glass panel still works well, but it's ~40 pounds. The second one is a 100w lightweight panel which I like a lot, but sometimes I want more power. So, I ordered this 220w panel. (Sure, I could have ordered another 100w and ganged them up.) This 220w panel is less than 20 pounds, and folds in fourths so it's not too large in storage. I hooked it up to our camper and put it out in hazy North Carolina summer sun, and got ~170 watts immediately, which went down to ~150w as the panel warmed up. I'm happy with that given the conditions. I do appreciate the higher level waterproof rating so I can just put it out and not worry about it. A couple of things that I didn't much like: the case/cover that came with it is junk, it's just a thin zippered cover made from coated nylon, no padding or protection at all. This may be important since there are open wires connecting the panels that are exposed when it's folded. The other issue is that the wires coming out of the panel are super thin, not heavy gauge at all, so I suspect that may limit power output versus an 8 or 10ga wire. My other panels have heavier gauge wire. Overall I'm happy with it, and it'll get a lot of use while boondocking in our camper.

Real world experience: I got 184w straight out of the gate, setting this up in the afternoon on a summer day in Seattle. After the panels warmed up in the sun, that dropped to between 170-175w for the next two hours while charging my Ecoflow Delta Mini. Had the same experience deployed while camping. About other reviews stating it performed poorly: Solar panels typically don't hit their stated maximum wattage outside of a lab. This is because 1) Panels need to be properly aligned to the sun, and 2) Efficiency of all solar panels decreases as they heat up. You're not going to see peak power output on hot days. *Also depends on the charge controller and battery setup it's connected to. Why this panel? I upgraded from a 100w Jackery, as it barely output enough to compensate for the draw from my fridge (~70w). I wanted to generate significantly more power without sacrificing much more room in the back of my car when camping. This suitcase fit the bill, as the form factor is only slightly larger and I'm getting >240% more power out of it. The 350w and 400w panels are all way too big for car camping. Why not the 200w Renogy folding panel (ASIN B0CNPHD4VY)? I opted to spend the extra ~$100 even though the output is nearly identical, because I wanted the warranty and durability that the rigid panels provide. There's no fabric on these to fray or breakdown, it's all metal and plastic, so I'm much more comfortable tossing it on gravel, dirt, grass, etc. *The leads from the panel are only about two feet long, so you'll need to source your own extension cables for your specific needs. I don't consider this a complaint as it's industry standard.

Great little panel for off grid camping. Put out plenty of power on the summer to keep my batteries charged.

Build quality is good works well when I used it. Was getting max 224watts on a nice sunny day with outside temperature around the 85-86 degrees. Opens up and closes very easy support stands feel sturdy setup is simple and comes in a decent carrying case. Well worth the money I spent definitely would recommend this solar panel.

its ok. but i just cant get it over 160 watts on a jackery 1000 plus. should do much better... on perfect sunny days, right angle and placement... just wont go near 220. way off. another brand I have (starts with a z and ends with a w) kicks this things butt!
