Renogy Solar Panel 100 Watt 12 Volt Eclipse Monocrystalline High-Efficiency Module PV Power for Battery Charging, Boat, Caravan, RV and Other Off-Grid Applications

Ordered two of these. They both came in with 1 cell on each of them with very slight cracks. One panel has a cell with a very small crack on it. The other panel has a cell with two very small cracks.Over-all they seem to be functioning regardless though, will update this with EMM readings AND images of the cracks later on.Over all, I probably would still buy these again as they have added a lot of extra power to my system; also given I bought them when they were on sale. However, they were advertised as new. I don't know if these cracks came from shipping or otherwise. I had to take a flashlight to the panels and look very closely to see the cracks.UPDATE: These solar panels are amazing, they consistently pull 87 watts in the sun... I am extremely impressed as no other 100 watt 12v panel I've seen has pulled that close to their rated wattage.

So I replaced a flexible 110 watt solar panel from China of an unknown brand which came with the RV with this Renogy panel. I'm not looking back! I really like this panel. It's really not very heavy for a glass panel, it looks good, and its a long term solution for my RV considering the disparate warranty term. So far the highest wattage I could get from the Renogy 100 watt panel in bulk charging was 84 watts; whereas the highest I ever got with a 110 watt flexible panel was 78 watts. Big improvement, especially for a lower rated panel. I live In PA, and the temperature outside when measuring was approximately 70 degrees at noon. The battery bank is two 125 Amp/hr AGM 12 volt, and was depleted 24 amp/ hrs from full. I will add that I have the Victron BVM, and a Viction MPPT charge controller, and am fastidious about monitoring inputs and outputs. So anecdotally I can report that low light performance on the Renogy is far superior than anything I got on my flexible pane. I admit though, that other than my flexible panel and this Renogy I have nothing else to compare; so it is possible that other panels are much superior. The price on this Renogy was however worth a try, and is performing to my liking thus far.

I use two of these panels on a large touring coach bus in Alaska. Many of my neighbors laughed at me for wasting my time and money because it's more often than not heavily overcast and they claimed solar panels just won't work here. WRONG!!! It is very often heavily overcast here but even when it is these panels still produce enough electricity to keep my battery bank charged to full capacity plus meet all my other electrical needs. Now all my neighbors want to know where I got these amazing panels because they want to buy their own. Those already with solar panels want to junk their systems and replace it with the Renogy system. When Renogy claims these panels will produce electricity even in the shade it is a fact not a sales gimmick. These Renogy panels work the way you would want solar panels to work. Truly amazing technology!! I am 100% satisfied and highly recommend these panels!

I purchased this solar panel to mount on the roof of my Toyota 4Runner to keep a 68amp hr AGM battery topped off to power a 12V fridge 24/7. The fridge will drain the battery in 1-2 days of sitting depending on ambient temps so I needed to a better charging solution for when I wasn't running the engine/alternator. I chose the eclipse line of panels for a couple reasons 1.) Efficiency, I mounted flat without the ability to tilt or angle to the ideal position so I wanted to get the most out of the footprint 2.) Durability, the doublewall frame for increased rigidity was a big selling point since this is mounted on the top of an off road vehicle and will see some vibration and the black finish is appealing for stealthily mounting too. 3.) Name brand, I wanted something well known for the panel so that I could trust that the cells are doing what they should as designed and support would be present if needed.Out of the box, this panel looks good, has the look and feel of a high quality product. Packaged well with no damage, nicks or scratches, and fit and finish of the frame and electrical connections great. I simply mounted it up, plugged it into an MPPT controller and boom the battery was charging! It's been charging great for a week now, even in indirect sunlight, shade and cloudy days. I couldn't be happier with it. I will update way later on with a longevity report if needed, otherwise assume it's doing great since the date of this review.

This is my third Renogy Eclipse 100 watt panel, having bought 2 a couple of years back for the travel trailer. On a test with the new Eclipse mid day I recorded 104 watts per victron controller Bluetooth app which I have never come close to with other panels. Of course as the panel heated up the output settled down to an impressive 88 watts. The price is steep but I have limited space on my 19ft trailer roof so the size and efficiency of the Eclipse was a good fit for me.

Wanted to update my review these are good I have had mine since 2021. Remember with a Victron MPPT charge controller and Lithium batteries the Victron only shows what it needs to manage the battery so it does not always show full panel output unless the loads demand it. I found these panels output 105 watts max. In a pair I was getting 43 volts input at over 6 amps rarely would it ever demand the full 210 watts on a 100AH battery. I have since switched to just using a single panel it meets the daily demand. If you have a DC to DC converter to charge from the alternator I think a single panel is good enough for a weekend camper with modest power needs.

Eight hundred watts of power that never gives up until the sun has set. Even in driving rain I receive power.I power a drilled well pump "Grumpis",12 volt fridge, washing machine, ceramic heater, led lighting and multiple battery charging stations for my off the grid three season home. Love it! Too bad the state of Maine taxes solar panels. (they tax everything up the ying)

Very impressed with the quality of this panel. Black anodised alloy frame looks nice, but will scratch easily if not mounted out the way on a roof etc. The cells are solid black with no tracks on and look a lot nicer in my opinion than traditional panels. The 4mm solar cables are fairly short and come with MC4 connectors attached. The junction box is good and solid with an o-ring seal to keep the water out and the cables are attached well via crimping. It feel solidly built but isn't too heavy.Played about with a small 40w solar panel on my shed roof for a while. Used it to power lights, power tool batterys, recharge cycle lights etc via a PWM charge controller. Needed to upgrade, so bought one of these. Unboxed and wired in temporarily in the afternoon UK sun, and it produced the full 5.6 amps straight away. When the sun went behind the clouds it was still producing about 2.2amps, which my other panel only gave on full chat. Only had it a few days, but so far impressed by it.

Paid full price and received 2 panels that had obviously been used before with skids and scratches on the glass and even hairline cracks and chips(!) in many of the solar cells. 100% unacceptable.Amazon won't replace them because they just "fulfilled" the order and Renogy won't replace them because I ordered through amazon SO BOTH ARE GIVING ME THE RUN-AROUND, AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY.WARNING take your phone's flashlight to it and look closely at the cells before you accept these!

I mounted the Renogy Eclipse 100 watt solar panel onto the roof of my 4Runner and when angled at 30 degrees in August, I was able to get 107 watts and 7.7 amps going into my secondary AGM battery using a Victron MPPT solar charge controller. Very impressive considering that I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. I've included a screenshot of the Victron app verifying the numbers.

The Quality is VERY GOOD. The Frame and the Solar Panels are the best I have had. I have had 2 other types of panels and these are the best for the Price. Renogy has some of the Best i have had. Thanks Renogy. I also have there Charge Controller. Another GREAT product.

Bought 2 panels to use with my Ecoflow Mini... works great!!
