THANKYOU! This is the first review ive found that addresses the storage constraints / size of these kits ive watched about 8 videos so far.
I saw 440 watts on a cloudy winters day due to the lensing effect of cloud edges. Have only used mine a few times, but have been very impressed with their performance.
These are so far doing well. And yes during cloud effect you can see 110% of rated 👍🏼
I bought the 400 watt panel in mid-April of 2024 and as soon as I got them out of the box; I took them to my backyard and set them up with the kickstand. I was charging my Bluetti AC180 and was pulling in 390 watts. It's a perfect fit for the AC180. I am in Utah.
Nice!! Yea when temps are cooler these were doing really well. But nothing does great in hot temps so be curious when the cool temps come again. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends I haven't used them this summer but I was thinking of draining down the AC180 and we will see. It's been hovering around 100 degrees here.
Great vid. I have the Renogy 220w and love it. the 400 is a little big for my use.
The 400 is a little big for sure. The 220 is definitely a nice size
@@rustymac40 Ditto for us too. We have a Winnebago Navion motorhome. 440 Watts is it issue storage. 220 fits the bill They fit nicely behind the driver's seat
@earlhunt2815 the 400 is kinda a beast lol
Thanks for the review. I'm looking at the 220 w. Would have been really nice to have your test data from Oregon on those too. I understand the 400 met your needs more.
I did do a review of the 220 and 400 at the same time on the first video 👍🏼
@@johnnysweekendsI just ordered the 220 from your link.👍
Thanks
Thanks for the vid... Im really leaning towards these...
How far do you put your panels from the charge controller, and what gauge wire are you using from panels to the controller?
My usage will be camping, ARRL Field day, other radio events and short power outages at home to power/charge a few small things.
Thanks again.
I have a 30ft and a 50ft cable. Both 12g
But I normally run in series to keep amps low and wire size smaller. This panel only puts out about 10amps.
Great video. Very interesting stuff. Thank you
😀👍🏼
Another product I’d like to have! Thanks!
I like it Jeff. Hard to find nothing I don’t like really after using it. Except the legs, I want adjustable lol.
@@johnnysweekends Yes, legs need to be adjustable. I drove through Redmond twice in the past couple of weeks. We may have crossed paths!
@SaabAholic very possible!!!
As always Johnny, informative. Helps one make a logical, informed decision on which is best for the individual situation. My problem is the winds at my property. Another, which you pointed out in the vid was the adjustability, but that can be overcome by using blocks or rods. With that being said, are the panels just as durable to take some pokes on the backside?
The back sheet is pretty darn tough. I mean you could stab though it with a knife but it would take some decent force. Normally bumps and bruises though on the back should be fine.
@@johnnysweekends thx. Good to know. Since we were talking about temps yesterday, what are the temp rates on these?
Should be about the same as the flex, 180°F?
@land0mancapt.stupid857 the flex panels on the roof are 176F and the portable ones are 185F. But with the flex I dont know how that’s tested for heat. How many hours sustained? 6 hrs…12…24….5 days? 1 month?
Either way mine are still rocking…..still the same as it was at 108 several days ago.
@johnnysweekends You mentioned yesterday you will test your panels for any efficiency loss after the summer or after the heat wave is over in a few months? That would be an interesting vid to see as I'm curious too if our flex panels had any 'damage'.
I'm sure they'll be ok. As I mentioned yesterday, it seems it was a little more hotter last year and after summer was over they seemed to be putting out what they're rated.
But still, I'd like to see results you find. 👍 perhaps you could do the flex and the portable panels to check any loss? Let's see how serious Renogy really is. But I know they're tough.
@land0mancapt.stupid857 I did a one year already but in a couple months when temps come down
What about the weight? Could a small person carry them around? The harbor freight one is like 45 lbs
I mentioned weight and at 30lbs these are light!
The 220 is even less
im new to solar with power banks, do you need a charge controller to plug them into your Ecoflow? or do you just plug them in? i have a Delta 2 max, this panel seems great compared to the ecoflow (more expensive variant)
I was wondering the same
No the Ecoflow power stations have a solar charge controller built in. Much like any other power station. And you don’t have to use the brands panels. Just don’t go over the input voltage by about 5%
@ThatNomadCrew answered above
@@johnnysweekends thank you for the answer
Does the coupon work on the renogy website or amazon?
Hello
I'm seeking some assistance for myself and other on our island who were greatly affected by hurricane beryl . We're completely devastated by this hurricane and need help . We're asking for donations of portable power station etc so we can be able to keep our phones charged , have light etc. because we're currently without electricity and water we've lost everything except our life and so we would be grateful if you can assist us . We have person collecting items to ship to us , so if you're willing to donate and might not be able send it directly to us here in st Vincent and the Grenadines they would be able to. Thank you in advance!
u must be rich
Exposed wires ? Get yourself some eco flow solar panels, much better output.
I would have to test back to back under same conditions. I like the Ecoflow panel except the stands and also the de lamination is still to common on to many people’s panels. Here or there, sure but there are several which is not good.
Not sure on the newest version that just came out. But don’t know if the 400 got revised
I have the new ecoflow 220w bifacial portable and like the renogy 220 with the exposed wires better..both are good portable panels but for the money Renogy is preferred by me.
