Review on BougeRV 180 Watts Mono Solar Panel, 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Cell Charger High Efficiency Module For RV Marine Boat Off Grid by Kyle Robinson

Bought 2 of the 120w panels for $99.98 each and made a diy suitcase to use on my travel trailer. Hooked up to my brand new Victron Smart Controlet 100/30 with Bluetooth. The installation manual provided by BougeRV in the FAQ on page 9 says to expect about 60-80% of rated output. So I was expecting a high of about 180 watts between the 2 panels. I hooked them up in series with 20’ extension cables to the controller which is about 5’ from the battery using 10 gauge wire for all runs. I was disappointed to only see about 70 watts on the VictronConnect app on my phone. So I decided to put some load on my inverter and ran the tv refrigerator and a large fan plus all the 12v lights. The Victron app went up to 225 watts at 5.7 amps and 40 volts. The Victron controller doesn’t tell you what the panels are putting out, it only tells you what it’s sending to the battery. I was pleasantly impressed to see that I was getting about 94% of the rated maximum output. I think I can possibly get a little closer to the 240 watts maximum rated output if I increase the load because the controller was only using 5.7 of the maximum rated 6.8 amps. I am very happy with these panels and it is a really great value compared to other panels at the same price.Update 09/11/2022. Just got back from 4 day camping trip. Used the Solar suitcase that I made with the two 120 watt panels. I was getting 260 watts at peak hours of the day. This is in September when the sun is not at the highest point during the year. I am so impressed with these panels that I bought 2 more to mount on the roof of my trailer. Again these panels are a great value.
