Consistent long term performance, good design
We have several Renogy panels on our property, this one powers a home made two year old standalone IPcam Wiifi security camera installation along our driveway. The Renogy panels produce significant power even in shade because they use microcrystalline cells. Unlike low end amorphous solar panels, these will continue to produce some power for 20 to 30 years. Would you buy a 20 year battery? The glass over the cells has a mottled surface seemingly designed to reduce reflectivity. I see measurable voltage output just before sunrise. Using an advanced MPPT charge controller typical output under load runs about 19 to 20 volts. I see no flaws at all in this product except for the very sharp corners, wear gloves! PROS: Good materials Superior microcrystalline cells Rapid delivey Standard connectors CONS: very sharp edges

My Apartment Solar Set Up
I get about a 150 watts of output from the two panels on my scrap wood stands sitting on my apartment balcony facing South/ SouthWest form about 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on a sunny day

Probably the best solar panel there is.
I use two of these to power my ham radio all day on one small 12 volt auto battery. Very well made and they charge even on a cloudy day. Strong frames and good wiring. I got the controller they also provide and they work fine, in two hours I can recharge my single 12 volt car battery for all day use on my ham radio without turning the panel or adjusting the angle.

Great panel! Works reliably.
I mounted this panel flat on the top of a camp trailer. I love it. I don't have to plug in the trailer anymore to maintain the batteries. Connected through a cheap PWM controller and heavy 10 gauge stranded wire, it will put out over 5 amps of charging power during the day in full sun. It also gives me enough capacity to run a TV, DVD and stereo off an inverter for hours at a time without running down my two 12V batteries. I'm very happy with it.

I utilized Victron equipment for the rest of the install and absolutely love the results
I put 15 of these on the roof of my RV. I wired 5S(series) 3P(parallel) meaning 3 sets of 5 connected in series or "in a string" which gives me somewhere around 15 amps at 100 volts going into my charge controller. I bolted them to racks that I built out of unistrut or powerstrut which I used 3/8" lag bolts to bolt down to the roof and covered liberally with lap sealant. I utilized Victron equipment for the rest of the install and absolutely love the results. My system consists of the following main components: 2 - Victron Multiplus 12/3000/120-50 Victron Blue Solar charge controller MPPT 150/85 15 - 100 watt Renogy solar panels Victron Color control gx Victron BMV-702 battery monitor 4 - 1000Ah LifePO4 Winston battery cells

Second time, still delighted with this panel
I've been my Renogy panel for a bit over a year for camping. A recent sale convinced me to pick up a second one to increase my solar capacity. This panel has been great to travel with. My friends accuse me of "glam-ping" as opposed to camping, but I can't think of any reason not to have lights, charged phones, music, and other creature comforts while out sleeping among nature's creatures in the woods. Truth be told, I really didn't need the second panel. One has been plenty for all but the rainiest weeks camping. But considering how good this has been, I couldn't pass up another at the price. I highly recommend these, along with one of Renogy's MPPT charge controllers. Panel, controller, and a home built 70Ah lithium battery pack have been a great combination.

Excellent, Clean Power Source
Excellent clean power source! This monocrystalline solar panel very efficiently charges my solar power generator. It's well-constructed; and, depending on the time of day and angle of the Sun, I have seen it deliver 39W, 74W and 86Watts. The 39W charge was when the sun was getting ready to set, while the 86W charge was achieved around 1:30 PM here in sunny Florida. It arrived quickly, well-packed and I could not be happier with this product! #AdventureUninterrupted Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Panel

This Midwesterner Is Amazed
Winter is upon us here in the great "Nort." Our water comes in solid block form, and our hands bind to every metal surface we accidentally hold onto as we slip to our back's doom. But all hope is not lost, for these Renogy panels power the Netflix and great "Nort" movies such as "Fargo" or the beginning scene of "Rio." In all seriousness, I've had about a week with these lovelies, and I must say, even in this god-forsaken land we call Minnesota, they still pump out plenty of power to charge the battery I have hooked up to them. As I write this, one panel is clean (I brought it inside the night before to design a stand), and the other is coated in a thin later of ice. Despite that, they are currently producing 7 or 8ish amps together at the peak. Not bad at all given current conditions. I really am excited to see what the output will be in the summer. (Update to this review will likely happen then.) Update 4/24/18 (Because Winter is possibly actually over this time...) Yes, these panels do what they advertise. I metered about 40 volts at 5 amps during peak hours when two were strung in parallel. That means they are, in fact, generating close to (or over) 100 watts each. I rate 8/8.

3rd panel works great.
3rd panel I've installed into our off grid cabin. With 2 panels I was getting between 198 to 212 Watts and 16.5 Amps charge. I'm hooked with the solar bug no question about it. Thats why I bought the 3rd one and have room for 1 more if necessary. I think I could have gotten away with the 2 but like I said solar bug has me now.

Well built, light weight, and easy to handle
Well built, light weight, and easy to handle. Bought the panel to dip my toes into solar by charging my lithium battery pack that has a solar adapter port. Works great takes a few hours to charge the thing back up. Considering building a more complex system to take some of my big appliances off the grid.
