Flexible Solar Panel 100 Watt, 240° Ultra Flex Bendable | 100W Flexible Solar Panel for for Marine RV Cabin Van Car Boat Curve Surfaces Off-Grid Systems, 0.1 Inch Lightweight, Black

The panels perform well seem durable and are flexible. I’m very pleased with them. They fit the bill for my application. Small amounts of shade do not seem to significantly impact the panels’ output, unlike some i’ve used. I needed low-profile flexible panels to fit on my truck’s topper, between the roof racks. The size of the panels are a perfect fit, and allow 2 to be installed on my roof. I wanted the installation to be easily removable, but to also easily handle highway speeds without me worrying about panels flying off. Utilizing the grommets on the panels allowed me to use M6 tee nuts and M6 machine screws and 1” M6 threaded plastic knobs to hold the panels in place. The grommet placement on the 2 panels I received were identical. I fit the machine screws through holes drilled in the topper. The screws (and large washers) are on the inside of the topper, with the tee nuts on the outside. The screws and nuts are snugly tightened, which allows the plastic knobs to be loosened and tightened without someone inside the topper holding a screwdriver to keep the screws from loosening. I used RTV to seal the holes, which also helps hold the screws and nuts in place without turning. I’ve used similar combos on truck toppers for 30+ years and have never had water leaks. I also attached heavy duty velcro around the edges of the panels, and attached velcro to the topper. The velcro alone holds the panels very well, but I wanted more security for highway speeds, hence the tee nuts and machine screws. I also put a “carbon fiber” looking vinyl wrap on the topper where the panels fit, for abrasion protection. Insulation can be placed under the panels to insulate the topper from the panels, which can get hot. 5 mm foam insulation is what I use.

Works awesome! I get about 87 watts of power on a sunny day. I mounted on bed cap rooftop and charging to Jackery battery pack. This is good efficiency.

Very nice solar panel, works as expected, easy to install. Recommend

Light and well made, but next to useless when partially shaded by the boom of my sailboat! :-) Turns out, this has a 9 busbar architecture, not the newer 16bb architecture that's supposed to work better when partially shaded.

It works great. Have it on top of rtt

The thermal expansion of ABS and twin-wall polycarbonate (~65–95 µm/m°C) is **3–6 times higher** than that of fiberglass backing (~10–20 µm/m°C) and **25 times higher** than the silicon cells (~2.6 µm/m°C). When designing a mounting system, this mismatch should be accounted for by using flexible adhesives, gaskets, or floating fasteners to prevent thermal stresses and warping. If these guidelines aren’t followed the solar panel will become wavy as is shown in the photos. This not only causes stress to the solar panel, the waviness allows the wind to get under the panel from the sides and can cause it to fail or rip loose from the fasteners.

Used for 3 years, shopping for replacements now. Plastic deteriorated in the sun, became cloudy. Never reached max output, highest measured amperage of the pair of 100 watt panels on the best day when new was 170 watts. Two panels compared in equal sunlight after 3 years, one panel showed less than 50% output of the other. I suspect that this was due to the opacity caused by sun damage and some broken connections between the cells. Overall, they performed as expected but my expectations were not high.

I am using this panel as a portable-not permanently installed- solar input for my pop up camper. The Renogy Solar100W 12V Lightweight Semi Flexible Black Panel is durable and lightweight. I am getting 90w-5.2 amps out of this little panel on average. That is pretty good efficiency for a small flex panel! The small size allows me to place the panel on the dash of my parked and locked truck- which is nice for trickle charging my 200ah lithium battery system while I am away on a hike. The ability to easily store this panel just about anywhere in my truck or pop up camper is a great bonus to it's usefulness. I have tried a couple knock off-cheap flex panels and they are not as efficient or durable as this panel. It's worth the few extra dollars to get the quality results this panel provides. When my non-Renogy rooftop 200w solar panel needs replacing I will definitely use a Renogy glass panel.

The original order was lost by Australia Post - but - Renogy sent a replacement via a different carrier. They were more helpful than Amazon. The panel is a replacement for a 110W flexible panle and the Renogy 100W has greater output - VERY Happy with it.

received on time and in good order. Have not used it yet but looks good quality and I am confident it will do the job charging my lithium batteries.
