Review on πŸ”’ Renogy Waterproof 360Β° Line Holder by Josh Chenier

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Uninformed and weak

---> Find out your setup needs first: Rather than following the advice on this page (Q&A and other comments) on how many amp fuses you need I recommend you Urgent to call Renogy Technical Support directly. They told me that if I have a parallel connection (3 panel plus connected to one and 3 minus connected to one, then go to the controller) - the amps of each panel are multiplied by 3. Each panel generates 8 to 8.5 amps. A total of at least approx. 24 amps when connected in parallel. ---> Regarding the fuse holder: All companies do it the same way, so they don't make Renogs any worse than others. The design of the fuse holder does not seem to be strong enough and it may trip. ---> I blew 2 fuses because they are only 15 amps (instead MUST be 25-30 amps). Climbing onto the roof and changing the fuse is not as easy as putting the fuse holder under the roof of your van/motor home. I add another brake - 15 or 20 amps right after the controller in front of the panels. This brake works before the roof fuse blows and this brake is easier to reset than replacing the roof fuse.
