Renogy 50 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel (Compact Design)

This is a great quality solar panel. I have had a few other small trickle panels and a cheap flexible plastic one (total waste of money) and I am really impressed with the power and quality of this panel. It is really too strong for a trickle panel, but i find I can put it in the shade and it works fine with less power and it will totally charge up a "dead" car battery in no time (paired with a cheap charge controller, made mobile safe by hot glue gunning wiring points). I bought a panel this strong because I got a great sale price on it. Very worth it. Small enough to be portable and easily moveable and will fit on my dash even and large enough to really kick ass, charge up a lead acid battery and all my 5 volt usb lights and devices. Great for camping. My only problem with this panel on the onset was that it came with Renology MC4 connectors attached and I had trouble deciding whether to buy more of those or rip off the MC4 connector and just convert to 12 volt automotive water proof connector I already had on hand. For my uses, I was better off without the MC4 (a waterproof rating not size rating) I decided, and I finally pried them off and converted to the 12 volt auto connector, but the psychological block really impacted my project.

Funciona muy bien

Sometimes brand sucks

All Renogy products are top notch Used as bsttery charger works well

Bought two to run in parallel for my office in-window setup and it's been educational and fun. My laptop has exclusively been solar powered for about a year now thanks to these babies. They are well made and sturdy and have survived in all weather conditions, but more importantly they've taught me what to expect from my upcoming more ambitious projects.
