Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Foldable Solar Suitcase

1. Which kind of extension cord I should purchase with this panel for more mobility from my RV?

The Renogy Solar Panel Extension Cable will be able to make more space between your solar panels and the charge controller. There is multiple size choice, please choose the same size of cable for extension. And please also realize that the longer the extension, the greater the line loss. A bigger gauge will be required for longer runs.

2. Can I add more solar panels with the suitcase to expand my system?

This solar suitcase is designed for expansion, additional panels are added to the system available based on your needs and space. We suggest you add the same solar suitcase for expansion. And please also pay attention to the controller may also need to be upgraded when you extend your system, the kit original comes with a 20A Voyager charge controller, divide the total power by the battery system voltage, the current value get can be used as a reference for controller selection.

3. Are these monocrystallin or polycrystallin panels?

The suitcase with 2 pcs 100W Renogy high quality monocrystalline solar panels.

4. What type of batteries can be used with the kit?

Battery type compatibility depends on the charge controller specified compatible battery type. This solar kit comes with a Renogy Voyager 20A PWM waterproof charge controller. It supports Gel, AGM, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. Still, please set the correct battery type once it is installed and if a Lithium battery is connected, please manually set the system voltage due to the corresponding battery voltage. It also comes with a Lithium activation feature.

5. Can I add more solar panels with the suitcase to expand my system?

Yes, additional panels added to the system are available based on your needs and space. We suggest you add the same solar suitcase for expansion.

6. How much power this solar kit can provide me?

The power produced by solar panels will depend on how much sunlight can get. The ideal output for this kit will be 1kWh every day(Calculated based on 200Wx5h expected sunlight availability).

7. Can I use this suitcase to charging my 120v receptacles directly?

The suitcase is not able to charging 120V power receptacles directly. Plus a 12v battery and inverter would give 120v output you would want. The panel would recharge the battery, the battery will storage the power, and the inverter would be able to supply the 120v power that you need.

8. Why is my solar panel underproducing?

Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy sky, and dirt and stain build up on the top glass will cause a reduced power output. This is a portable suitcase, you may try to move it in place or adjust the kickstands angels to get better sunshine. The ideal output of it will be around 500 Watt-hours per day (Calculated based on 100Wx5h expected sunlight availability).

9. What does the 12V/24V in the product title of the solar panel mean? Why is it different from the value on the label/specification sheet of the solar panel?

The 12V/24V in product titles (ex. 100W 12V Monocrystalline Solar panel) does not refer to the actual voltage (Voc or Vmp) of the solar panels, but rather to the voltage of the solar system or energy storage system to which the panel is best suited. The voltage of the solar panel must be higher than the solar system voltage.
