Which kind of extension cord I should purchase with this panel for more mobility from my RV?
You can purchase the Renogy Solar Panel Extension Cable to increase the distance between your solar panels and the charge controller. Choose a cable length that suits your needs, but keep in mind that longer extensions may result in more line loss, so consider a larger gauge for longer runs.
Can I add more solar panels with the suitcase to expand my system?
Yes, you can expand your system by adding more solar panels to the suitcase. It's designed for expansion, and additional panels can be added based on your requirements and available space. When expanding, it's important to match the new panels with the same solar suitcase. Additionally, consider whether your charge controller may need an upgrade based on the total power and battery system voltage.
Are these monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels?
The suitcase includes two Renogy high-quality monocrystalline solar panels.
What type of batteries can be used with the kit?
The compatibility of battery types depends on the charge controller. This solar kit comes with a Renogy Voyager 20A PWM waterproof charge controller, which supports Gel, AGM, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. Ensure you set the correct battery type once installed, and if you connect a Lithium battery, manually set the system voltage to match the battery voltage.
How much power can this solar kit provide?
The power output of this solar kit depends on the amount of sunlight it receives. Under ideal conditions, it can produce approximately 1 kWh per day, calculated based on an expected 200W output and 5 hours of sunlight availability.
Can I use this suitcase to charge my 120V receptacles directly?
No, the suitcase cannot directly charge 120V power receptacles. To supply 120V power, you'll need a 12V battery and an inverter. The solar panels will recharge the battery, and the inverter will convert the stored power to 120V AC power for your receptacles.
Why is my solar panel underproducing?
Solar panel performance may be affected by various factors, including environmental conditions like indirect sunlight, temperature, cloudy skies, and dirt or stains on the panel's surface. To improve performance, consider optimizing the panel's placement and angle to maximize sunlight exposure.
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 the product title (e.g., 100W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel) refers to the voltage of the solar system or energy storage system to which the panel is best suited, not the actual voltage of the solar panel itself. The solar panel's voltage must be higher than the solar system voltage for proper compatibility.
