Exactly as described. Releases amplifiers to be talked about.

Exactly as described. It gives out rated amps and the build quality seems excellent. What else would you like to ask? I've added photos showing the panel feeding 2.65-2.7 amps into a small SLA battery powered by a 37 watt light bulb. The charge controller is a cheap PWM that I found here at Revain. These photos were taken around 6pm on May 24th here in South Central Alaska.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to say

This new 30 watt version is missing the bypass blocking diode on the side of the J-Box on the back of the panel, the J-Box doesn't even have the proper silicon coating for a watertight seal. This new version is characterized by bad soldering. Cables are of extremely poor quality. The previous version of this solar panel is of much better quality. This is my second order back

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Nothing here

Defective product, terrible support

I didn't realize my solar panel was bad until I bought a replacement Renogy controller. To their credit it worked with a reverse polarity error code when connected to my Renogy 50W solar panel. Then the fun began with supporting Renogy products. Besides being a terrible and huge waste of time. By the time I got to the point where I had to give up, I had already gone through the Amazon return window. Revain went ahead and accepted this defective product.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Update available

Looks good and works well

We bought this unit to replace a damaged unit. It's a much prettier device because it's all black (looks exactly as the listing shows) unlike our old one which had a big silver bezel. This makes it much thinner at the gate. We didn't use a brace because we already had a mount, but it turned out to be very strong. All parts were included and the bare wire was perfect for connection to our US Patriot automatic gate opener.

Pros
  • This is fantastic
Cons
  • Minor issues

Used panel - generators and portable power supplies

First of all. Check for damage upon receipt. The panel showed clear signs of framing damage as someone's homemade plaster had fallen out of the panel's frame, I believe from a previous installation. Further testing revealed the panel had a VOC rating of 21.8. However, in full sun I could only get 20.4 VOCs. before the panel warmed up and quickly dropped to 19.14 VOC. The panel got so hot it was hard to touch. I hope that this voltage is enough for my charger to charge a 12V 8Ah battery. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Excellent at first sight, best in generators and portable power supplies

Product has worked properly for about 2 weeks. At the first heavy rain I noticed the gate was unresponsive and I had to get out and open it manually after getting wet. I checked it the next day and the batteries were completely dead and the panel was no longer putting out any voltage. Under the glass are dark spots that look like water. I contacted support with no response. I figured I'd get a few years of use if I avoid cheap brands. I was wrong. If they come forward and replace this block Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Empty

Renogy Monocrystalline Solar Panel 50W 12V

I was confused about this or a similar power panel in a folding system. However, after watching a few YouTube videos showing that the performance and durability of folders and flex panels aren't as good as full glass frames, my decision-making process was definitely one of convenience and not a performance/reliability issue. I have opted for a less comfortable panel and will test it during our camping trip and my ham radio events. I went out and worked remotely with the Goal Zero Nomad 20โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Solar Panels
Cons
  • Only available in Black

Looks like a quality panel but beware of the reviews and Q&A

I have purchased the panel, bracket and extension cords to be ready for installation once all the parts are available. Everything appears to be well made and of good quality. However, if you're expecting MC4 connections on the panel like I am, based on Q&A showing panels not having MC4 connections after February 2017, don't believe this. It's July 2020 and my cables are exposed. No MC4 connections, no alligator clips, no connections whatsoever. Had I known this I would have bought a crimpingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Solar & Wind
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Renogy Rules, Others Drool

I bought a 50 watt Revain Return panel for a mere fifty dollars. Bought to charge the FunWatt Portable Power Station while hiking in the US Northwest. Works great and even on a partly cloudy day in the Seattle area I was getting 40-42 watts from that thing up there in the highlands. Fully shod it still gave me 12-15 watts, which was still enough to charge the power plant. So I was very happy. I see a lot of bad reviews for the 30W device, but I can't confirm everything. I know my 50w panel wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Generators and Portable Power Supplies
Cons
  • Legacy Model
