  • Have 2-200 Watt and 1-100 watt suitcase solar panels
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
Renogy 200-watt solar suitcase notes -Two Year Ownership Update at Bottom, July 2023- Quick notes on things to watch out for: - B01 error on controller. Indicates a wire is disconnected somewhere between the controller and your battery, on either the negative or positive side. Most likely loose at the controller but can also occur from frayed wires at any of the ( non-strain-relief-protected) MC4 connectors or clips at battery. Same code you get before connecting up to batteries. - The maximum power I have seen with this suitcase is 164 watts, 11.4 amps at 14.4 volts. This is with 2 12V 65 Ah AGM batteries. You may get more output if you use a MPPT controller instead of the built in PWM controller. You also may not get maximum output if your batteries are lightly discharged. - The note about connecting the battery first, then the controller second does not apply, since the wires are already connected to the controller. The instruction about connecting the battery first comes from the controller manual which is also sold stand-alone. Renogy says the battery does not need to be connected first when the controller is integrated in the suitcase solar system. The 100 watt suitcase solar system does not have detachable cables between panels and controller like the 200 watt system. What I do is turn the panel away from the sun while hooking up to the battery. This minimizes the controller power output. I first connect the MC4-to-alligator clips cable to the battery, then typically 40-foot 8AWG extension cables, then connect extension cables to controller output MC4s. Then turn the panel around to face the sun. I really like this unit. I have purchased 2 200-watt and 1 100 watt versions over the past few years. Last 200-watt purchase June, 2021. I had the 100 watt suitcase first and wanted more power. Then I tripped moving the first 200 watt and broke one of the panels, oops (Renogy, replacement panel?) I have used this 200-watt panel with 40-foot, 80-feet, and 160-feet (2-40s and 1-80)of 8 AWG Windy Nation MC4 cable. The max amps I got were: 40 feet: 11.4 80 feet: 10.4 160 feet: 9.4 Note: I bought another Voyager 20A controller to use at the battery end at the 160 foot length as I anticipated the voltage drop from the panel-mount controller would be too great to charge the batteries. Max panel voltage output is 21+ V so more voltage to handle the drop. It was great to have the 160-foot cable distance. We were at a high alpine lake in deep shade and had the 200-watt solar suitcase on the lakeside beach (1/2” cable locked through carrying handle to some large stacked rocks). Enough amps to run our motorhome furnace in the cold and clear morning. Our daily charging while dry camping starts early as I usually leave the panel out pointing where the first sun will occur (cable locked) overnight. The current draw of the controller is minimal, 0.008 A. The controller voltage will display what the current battery voltage is, for us usually 12.7 V in the morning (fully charged is 13 V for our AGMs). The charging voltage and current will gradually rise as the sun comes up. At an initial 10 Amp current the voltage will rise to an initial 13.5 V typically and continue to rise from there. Once the max voltage for the battery type is reached( in our case 14.4V) the controller output amps will start dropping as the battery accepts steadily less current as it nears full charge. I try to keep the panel pointed at the sun from early morning and get the charge current down to 4 A, then the aim is not critical and can rotate panel 60 degrees to the west and maintain 4A current and fully charge batteries over the next few hours. We can take off hiking, etc. and when we get back we’ll have a full charge. (Control displays ‘FUL’ and voltage idles at 13.6V, our idle current is around 1A). I like the weight and water resistance of the panel. I have had the panel out in 40 MPH winds and rain with no issues. I recently bought a Bluetti EB55 Portable Power Station and unplug the MC4 connector from the Renogy controller and hook up to the Bluetti MPPT input. Works great. The 100-watt panel had some wear issues. The cables at the MC4 connectors have no strain relief so they tend to fray over time. The cables at the controller have no strain relief so moving the controller back and forth flexes the wires so they eventually fray. And I would slide the panel around on a tarp to keep the panel out of the shade and pointed at the sun and that flexes the legs. The upper end of the legs has just a metal nut press-fit in a plastic block so it got wobbly. Don’t do what I did, pick up the panel to move, and hold the wires gently to prevent flexing. Additional note on panel solar output: Panel output is optimistically rated with the ‘STC’ rating. Cell temperature: 25°C
 Irradiance: 1000 W/m²
Air mass: 1.5 Same with home solar (we have 9000 watts of home solar). The ‘NOCT’ rating is more realistic but lower power: Air temperature: 20°C
 Irradiance: 800 W/m²
Air mass:1.5
Wind speed: 1 m/s Photos are of the 200 watt (L) and 100 watt panel. On this trip I would charge the motorhome house batteries until the charge current on the 200 watt panel dropped to 4 A, then put the motorhome on the 100 watt panel and switched the 200 watt panel to charge power stations. -Two Year Ownership Update July 2023- 200-watt panel still going strong and using older 100-watt panel also. On the 200-watt panel a negative wire at the controller output to battery broke off just a few days ago so I had to screw it back in with a Phillips screwdriver. I carry tools on the road so not a big issue. Got the dreaded B01 error while moving panel. Longer term fix may be to attach spade lugs to the end of the wires and perhaps heat-shrink tubing to prevent flexing. One leg is a little bent but unit is not wobbly. We have got a good 80 nights of use over 2 years approximately. We do a lot of dry camping. Using the even older 100-watt suitcase too. It had wire fraying at the alligator clips and at one or more of the MC4 connectors. Got a replacement alligator clip assembly from Amazon and replaced the wires from controller to MC4 with Windy Nation 10 AWG 3 foot MC4 cables. Added an Ecoflow Delta 2 power station. Charges from the 200-watt Renogy at 165 watts at 75F and 150 watts at 90F with 10 AWG XT60 to MC4 cable I bought from Amazon, 40 foot 8 AWG cable attached to MC4 cables detached from suitcase controller. The Bluetti EB55 has a max of 8 amps input so it maxes out at 130 watts. ... show more

  • 12.1A at 13.5v observed, seems like a good kit
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
Seems like a solid kit. I great sunlight I have seen a peak of 12.1A with more usually sitting at about 11.8A in direct sunlight. Converts to about 160watts actual output at 13.5v. I have not used it much outside of initial testing as most RV camping is done with hookups but this is an easy form of backup power for out little trailer. One step closer to getting my wife to do dry camping :) Testing was on the Lead Acid (wet) battery setting. AGM may offer higher output as well so there is that to consider. Thoughts on the product: The weight, it is not an issue for me but it is an awkward weight, thankfully the handle seems strong. I can see this an issue for my wife. I wish the legs on the panels were a little more sturdy. They seem great on cement, but more travel would be nice for trails, still not like I have had an issue yet. There is no way to really secure this for windy days so I will need to figure it out since desert winds can easily be 20mph on some days. I may add some anchors or something should I need to place the panel in a way that the wind is pushing behind it. I gave this a 5 star because for the price, I think it is great. If I paid more for this I would have liked to have seen more current but realistically this seems on point and on the good side of output from what I could find in reviews from even other kits from other makes. One reviewer for this product claimed 15A on their kit, Renogy said their optimum rated output is 10.5A for this kit so they said my kit is definitely working well at the 11.8-12.1A range. It will be interesting to see more than 12A but so far 12.1A is my peak. ... show more

  • Very Nicely Done
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
I just received my solar suitcase and must say I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and overall construction. The zip-up case is very high quality and is what appears to be very heavy Cordura nylon constructed over a thin protective clamshell. Pretty awesome. The paint on the frame was top-notch. The handle is spring loaded which keeps it folded in and out of the way. The leg system is quick and easy to adjust. Although the battery I connected, a LiFeoP4, was nearly topped off, the panel finished it off quickly. I cannot attest to the longevity. The charge controller does what it should but I wish there was a selection to upgrade it or just sell the suitcase barebones and let me choose a good MPTT controller with Bluetooth, for instance. I will ultimately need to replace it anyway as I intend to parallel two of these and would prefer a 40a controller. NOTE OF CAUTION: It comes with the controller connected which will blow up the controller if you hook in your battery....which many folks might have a tendency to do. Unplug it immediately. The battery leads MUST be connected first...then the controller. I intend to install a 40a cutoff switch on the controller so as not to have to plug and unplug the controller. The battery cable is of very high quality, being heavy yet very pliable as if it is high-quality fine-strand copper...unlike some cheap ones that are stiff. The battery cable comes with very high-quality, fairly large, automotive-grade clips, like the ones on jumper cables, and also comes with a nylon storage bag and velcro strap for bundling. Note: When choosing the battery type you hold the bottom button for three seconds. In quite small text at the bottom of the screen, it will show the type. Just toggle through until you find the one you want. Not having the best of vision it took a few tries before I realized the type selection was very small and along the bottom edge of the screen. This thing does get hot from the sun. No, I mean HOT, so handle it carefully. I will soon be buying another and upgrading the controller. I have 4 new 100ah batteries coming in shortly and will connect them parallel. I just received from Amazon a CNSWIPOWER 2000-watt inverter that will be a part of a dolly portable system. I am impressed with it as well. Hurricane season prep time. ... show more

  • Solid product with a couple of shortcomings.
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
I purchased this foldable suitcase solar kit as my first foray into solar power for my r.v. travel trailer. After a fair amount of research, I knew this would be something to get me started and also use in the future as an add-on to my system once I actually build my main system. My first impression was that this unit was performing better than I expected. I anticipated getting around 9 to 10 amps of power in the best conditions. What I actually got was a peak of 13.4 amps and about 12.9 amps on a fairly regular basis during peak sun hours. Note that this was in February so the sun was fairly low in the sky. I anticipate closer to 15 amps in full summer sun. With the exception of the incident described below, the unit performed perfectly throughout our 4 day trip. On the negative side, I found this unit to be quite heavy and cumbersome to tote around. I placed the unit on my roof to avoid shading from surrounding campers at the location I was at. To get it on the roof, I had to have someone hand it to me from the ground while I was high enough on the ladder to then immediately set it on the roof. It was far too large and heavy to actually climb the ladder with it on my own. The second negative is that the alligator clip wires, that were sent with the unit, came with a 10 amp in-line fuse installed. The charge controller that comes with the unit is 20 amp. Within 15 to 30 minutes of use, in full sun, the unit stopped charging. It wasn't long until I found that the 10 amp fuse had melted in the holder. I'm not sure who decided install a 10 amp fuse to supply a 20 amp appliance, but the results were completely predictable. I was only able to source a 30 amps fuse as a replacement at the remote location I was at. Fortunately, nothing bad happened as a result of the fuse that was too large. The unit performed flawlessly for the remainder of the 4 day trip we were on I am very happy with this purchase, only wishing that other options were available for the charge controller such as 40 amp mppt charge controller instead of the PWM controller that is comes with. I'm fairly certain that I would have seen peaks above 14 amps with a better controller. ... show more

  • Solar panel is very reliable.
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
This solar panel has worked very well. It charges a car battery which runs a pump in our hay field. We put the pump on a timer and the solar panel charges the car battery enough that it runs all day, every day since we installed it. We can highly recommend this solar panel.

  • Buying this Solar Suitcase is a No Brainer
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
This was the single best purchase I've made for my 24-foot Jayco Eagle pop-up tent trailer. I run a single lead-acid deep-cycle battery, and I've not run out of power yet while off-grid for weeks while running interior lights, phone chargers, my water pump, and my furnace fan. The size makes it fairly easy to setup and move around as the sun changes angle throughout the day. The solar panel itself is extremely efficient, providing battery charge even when not in direct sunlight; although, direct sunlight is always the best and most efficient. The controller is simple and makes it easy to keep tabs on your charging progress. And the padded case makes overnight and travel storage simple and safe. If you're looking for a cheaper, easier alternative to roof mounting your solar panels, this is it. ... show more

  • **UPDATE**. Read THIS!! Avoid the hassle…
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
Hello shoppers! Luckily (or unluckily) I purchased this item 2x. I needed 400 watts of solar to charge my lifepo4 batteries. I thought having them on the ground would make life simpler because if they are mounted flat on the roof of my van they are only optimally positioned for summer. The rest of the year (and depending on my location) mounted flat means diminished production of energy. Now you know why I bought these, and I can give a second review of the product. These panels are ‘ok’ but that’s where my praise ends. Renogy will tell you that when using wire to go between solar panel and mppt controller the wire gauge at minimum should be 8awg. HOWEVER they wire these panels with 12awg wire. In fact when I asked Renogy if they sold any other gauge wire they said “No, but you can make them yourself.” Which means that if you spend $450 on the assembled product you can spend a whole lot more getting a heavier gauge wire. The 12awg is fine so just ignore Renogy’s suggestions. On the back of the panel is the ‘waterproof’ housing for the wire connections. It’s a plastic box that has a tiny rubber gasket that likes to fall out when you open the box to examine the wire. My suggestion…. Pay attention to the gasket if you open! The wire inside is soldered in place and there is NO strain relief measures on the wire. This is a fatal flaw because of the constant connecting and disconnecting at the mc4 connection. In less than a year my mc4 connectors were coming free from the wire and the copper strands were exposed. After replacing the mc4’s 3 times the panel just crapped out and ceased to work. The legs that are attached inside the back of the panel are constantly coming loose. The nuts continually back out and fall to the ground. This is because the legs are positional and the constant set up and take down loosens the bolt. It’s a lousy design. Additionally the legs are useless here in the southwest (Arizona) in the summer. Because of poor design and positioning the panel needs to be set up with its back end lifted fewer than 7”!! If you try to use the legs to achieve this angle the legs will cut the aluminum panel housing. That’s right…. You’ll need to use something to prop it up just off the ground (think 2”x4”). Rocks will scrape the black pain off of the housing. There are no tips and trick’s accompanying the panels so you’re on your own to figure out how to get the most out of the panel. I am having to ship this 35 lb suitcase back to Renogy to find out what failed. I’ve been lugging around a defective suitcase for over a month while Renogy makes me jump through unnecessary hoops! On that subject these panels are kinda heavy. You can get used to the weight but setting up and taking down is aggravating when you’re only stopped somewhere for the night. When you’re camped somewhere for several weeks it’s not bad. The framework of the solar panel surround is about 1 1/8” wide all the way around. It collects mud, muck and debris from whatever you set it on…. I highly suggest you lay out a ground tarp to keep them clean. The panels are shipped in a ‘formed’ zipper bag to protect the solar panels when not in use. Renogy sent me one that has a bad zipper. That means I had to devise a way to force the cover/ case to stay on. I found 1” nylon strap and buckles did the trick but it was another $10-15 investment. When I notified Renogy of the problem they essentially said ‘too bad’ they actually said “we don’t have replacements we can send out”. Well I’d it’s included as part of the whole product and I spent $350+ on it, it should function correctly otherwise why bother shipping them at all?! This leads me to the biggest pain in the behind…. Customer service. Renogy only allows American English speaking people to sell their products and only allows people of other nationalities using thick accents, speaking their countries iteration of English to handle Tech support. When you deal with them (and you will eventually) you’ll discover they know absolutely nothing about the products or their technical aspects. They will repeat everything 3-5 times and not listen to your questions. They tell you that they are hearing your “concerns” but they can’t address them beyond whatever script they are reading. So if things get ‘technical’ be prepared for absurd chatter and repetitious gibberish and disingenuousness concern. Renogy makes an average product serviced by inept phone people. You’re better off buying from one of the other companies with higher rated customer service and tech support. If I knew when I bought this ‘briefcase’ what I know now….. I never would have bought two…. Or even 1!!! I took a chance on this company thinking the other people who have outlined similar failings might have been isolated cases….. I was wrong in doing so. Take it from me, it’s not worth the 🤕 headache!! Install roof top panels on your van etc and put adjustable risers on them to catch the rays you need. It’s simpler and this stuff was not meant to be handled as often as ‘mobile panels’ are. If it was it would have been better built and proper tech support offered in the event something went wrong.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 Caveat Emptor fellow shoppers. **UPDATE** 1 suitcase failed and I sent it back to Renogy. That’s the easy explanation. Truth is I sent it back (at my expense -not cheap) on January 29th 2024 I finally got a replacement about a week and a half ago (today is Easter 2024). After talking to Indian representatives who don’t understand American English and are extremely difficult to understand on the phone (20-30 calls) I was lied to, misinformed, had incorrect items shipped to me, and nearly unable to make the problems understood to them. They never fixed the unit i sent back and when I received the replacement (mid March) they neglected to tell me the panel had been changed in dimension etc. Why does this matter? I mean hey I got a replacement right?! Well look at the pictures I posted above. An additional defect is that because of the legs a decent wind will blow them over. In the desert this means it slams on to rocks and shatters. You’re probably thinking well yeah they broke- you should have been more careful! You’d be right. The fact that a gust of wind came along and blew them over is on me because I didn’t bring them in. BUT….. this was thankfully the old version. Which is about a foot shorter than the new version. Which makes them blow over in even lesser breezes! Now I spent $350ea for my briefcases and a look at current pricing is over 89$ more. If you have money to burn you’re luckier than me. Now I mentioned how in Arizona in the summer the legs on the original briefcase was useless because to catch the rays the briefcase had to be laid nearly flat on the ground. The legs don’t allow for this position so you need to lay them out flat. The newer version being taller means even greater difficulty in lowering the panels to optimal summer position. In short, I hate these panels. The briefcase that crapped out lasted 8 months… I use them daily and rely on them for 100% of my power needs. A breeze blew over the second set and I can’t afford to replace them. The bolts holding things together are constantly backing out and need to be tightened but each time you move the legs they loosen even more. With no way to keep the new panels from blowing over I can add wind to snow, rain & clouds that defeat the panels. On a perfectly sunny day with wind I can’t put them out to charge my batteries. I now need to wait for a perfect sunny day with no air movement. Also and more importantly these panels require huge investment of time to maintain. They have to be cleaned before putting them away, dirt and mud fills the channel on the backside of the panel, bolts need re tightening after every use, and worst of all is the enormous wasted space inside a vehicle to store them. (I had two briefcases so I had double the consumed space). Roof mounted panels may be hard to install but take it from me they’re far cheaper to Mount….. you don’t have to clean mud dirt and ground debris from them after every use….. and wind won’t blow them over to shatter. They are always collecting power wherever and whenever you are -Solar briefcases require that you take them out if you want energy! oh and it’s important to note…. You need to store these panels upright. Otherwise going over bumps, potholes etc might slam a prone panel on the ground and shatter them. Learn from my experiences and permanently Mount panels to your roof. Less work and constantly bringing in energy. Cheaper and oh yeah they weigh less- the briefcases are almost 40lbs each!!! Never say you weren’t warned. I will say this…. On the occasions when I can put them out…. The panels do work well. Sad but true. CAVEAT EMPTOR!! ... show more

  • Boondocking need!
Style: 200W Panel-20A Controller
We have a 36' 5th wheel that we go on 5 day trips with, throughout the summer. Most of those trips are out in the hills. With this suitcase, we set it up and move it slightly thru the day to catch the sun, and it keeps our 4-6 volt batteries charged up enough that we can use our rv without having to turn on the generator. If we need AC to cool things down, well, that's what the generator is for. But for 80% of what we do, this setup has proven to us that solar is a great way to go for powering the tv, the dishy, our water pump, and some basic lighting. We went this way first to see what we thought about solar, and may just stay with it. Or spend the dough and load the roof with some panels, but since these are handling our needs, I don't see the need. I did buy an extra 25' cable because we are often in the trees. It's simple enough, but I think Renogy should redesign their hinges and clasps. They just scream CHEAP to me! That's because they hinge the wrong way, in my opinion. They come in a real nice case, but with the panel faces on the outside during storage, they could easily be damaged on a rough country road. I have no idea why they do it that way. And to top that off, the clasps that lock the two together are just about the most simple, yet frustrating, dang things when you are trying to fold or unfold them to use them, or unlatch them. Other than that, I think there is value for the money based on my research and experience. The size is fine, but you'll need more cable IMO. ... show more
