   I purchased two 100 watt Renogy flexible solar panels about four years ago, applied to the top of my sailboat bimini top with velcro. They installed and worked as expected. The panels were recalled subsequently. Renogy made that process very easy and efficient and I received a quick full refund. Awaiting the availability of new Renogy flexible panels, I purchased two panels from another company. The first failed recently after two years of use. I repurchased a nw replacement panel through Renogy a few weeks ago. It looks much more substantial then the other brand and again installed easily and works great. I’m impressed by the quality of the new panels and the quality of the company. Will definitely by from them again.

   We glued the flexible solar cell onto the top of our tent trailer and just got back from a week of off the grid camping. The 100 watt unit was more than adequate to keep our battery charged. We used an electric water pump, fan, lights and gas heater with a fan, and never saw our voltage drop over the week. This is an excellently constructed solar cell and performed as advertised.

   I’ve had 3 flexible solar panels in the past 2 years, and this is by far the best built one. Yes, it cost $40 more, but it is worth it not to have the hassle of ripping another panel off the roof of my trailer. I also bought this with a Renogy Voyager solar controller at a great price, and it is likewise the best yet. I’ve read about people swearing by Renogy, and now I know why.

   I am very happy with my flexible solar panel.I use it to charge my Webetop 155Wh 42000mAh Portable Generator Power Inverter Battery 100W.I was experimenting to see if it would charge thru the windshield. To my delight, it did! I put it in my windshield when I got to work and it was fully charged by end of day!It’s so lightweight and easy to manage that it is a WIN for me!

   Yes the product photo is clear and accurate but it is very easy for shoppers to overlook and not be prepared for the 6 inch lead on one side, compared to the expected industry standard lead length of over a foot on the other side. I had to salvage an old lead from a dead panel and splice it in to work for my replacement project. I will definitely update this review after it is installed and working for a week as the primary power source to charge the battery on my solar/human powered velomobile. [ EDIT – UPDATE AS PROMISED: 6 weeks later – I have been getting good performance in Florida sun with as much as 80 watts sustained output on the curved roof of my enclosed car-bike. I see no enhanced low sun angle performance as promised with the beaded lens surface on this panel. Even better value now that the price has dropped $20. Most amazing part of this product is the 25 year warranty on a flex panel, that is normally offered only on framed panels. I called the company to confirm that before purchase. END EDIT ] What I can say that is positive now is delivery was ahead of schedule and it is shipped sandwiched between two closed cell foam sheets that are durable enough to use as yoga mats or backpacking mats. The six grommets are sensibly small in size and look corrosion resistant. The backing substrate for this panel is exceptionally strong, stiff and fiber reinforced without being heavier than other cheaper panels. The panel surface is non-slip textured which boaters may like but it makes cleaning on a rooftop more difficult.

   This is added to a CTEK 250SD smart controller and a Northstar 27F battery on a 2018 Toyota 4Runner running a dual bin Snomaster fridge at 35 degrees. Installed the panel on top of the Alu-Cab aluminum roof top tent. The tent has a slight bend on the two and we wanted it to be super low to clear branches and other things and to be fairly invisible when installed. A aluminum framed model would have sat higher and would have been an option if we were in a hotter climate for cooling. We used Goop metal to plastic adhesive and it has performed beautifully in securing the panel to the RTT.In peak of day in the state of WA the unit was charging at 14.5 v. Plenty enough for our Snomaster 67l fridge to run any temperature that we like.. In early morning and very overcast cloudy days, the unit has charged between 12.7 and 13.5v. Still enough to keep the fridge running non stop and easily start the vehicle after 4 days parked and non started. This was not a remote possibility before the solar panel was added, 48 hours tops and the battery voltage would have dropped so low that the fridge protection circuit turned off the fridge to save the single battery.Seems very durable and performing excellently so far.

   After installing two panel sets of another brand that eventually failed, I decided to try these on the roof of my Road Trek Van. So far, so good after two months in the hot sun. Voltage and current is what I would expect to charge/top-off the AGM house battery through a 20 acontroller. These panels appear to be better constructed than the ones they replace. Another plus is that they are close to the width of the old panels and I was able to use mirror holder brackets with rubber spacers to secure the panels with the same mounting holes I had used for the old panels.

   I purchased two Renogy 100 watt Flexible panels to charge a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 solar generator. We live in Florida and experienced a glancing blow from Hurricane Irma last year that left us without power for a few days. Although my neighbors had gas generators, keeping them filled with gasoline was the big challenge.I have been running tests with my Renogy panels and Goal Zero generator that I use to power a mini freezer. So far it appears that we will be able to run the freezer by charging during the day and running the generator at night. We are hoping to be able to make ice for our coolers as well as some for various neighbors who don’t have generators. ( Getting ice was the another challenge last year.) Of course the biggest mystery is, if we really get slammed with a direct hit will any of this matter anyways! (I’ll get back to you if that happens, if I can!)But I really like the Renogy flexible panels for my purpose. I like that they are lightweight, easy to move and haul in and out of the house. I made frames for them out of small PVC pipes so that I can adjust them with the sun’s movement. (By the way, if you purchase Renogy panels and extension cables, which you will need – buy 2 cables for each panel. To solar experts, that’s probably obvious, but to the rest of us, not so much. Fortunately, I read an Amazon review and knew to do this.)Prior to purchasing, I emailed Renogy with a few questions and they were very good and generous with their time, info and patience. (I think their website needs to be a little less slick and more informative – my only complaint for Renogy.)Renogy has a good reputation and I will say these panels seem well built and substantial. Unfortunately I have had a little glitch with the Goal Zero (which is being replaced) so I had to curtail my tests. I was able to get 140 watts from my two 100 watt panels. I realize that you never get 200 watts from 200 watt panels, so I figured we were doing okay. If I find I do any better when my Goal Zero is replaced, I will add to this review.

    I AM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW THIS IS KEEPING MY BATTERIES CHARGED FROM THE MAJOR PARASITIC POWER DRAW I HAVE IN MY CAMPER
