Renogy 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit with 20A Rover MPPT Charge Controller

So far so good. Very good quality equipment. Very easy to install. Panel was delivering 90w peak on a sunny day. Controller large enough to accept more panels, but you should make sure that they’re from the same manufacturer and the same size/wattage for best results. Efficiency dictated by smallest panel if you mix. Capable of charging lithium batteries.

The charge controller was easy to set up and does what its supposed to. Dont buy the remote it's a waste of time and you need to keep rebooting your wi fi to make it work, the app needs redeveloping. Remember if you connect anything directly to your battery this wont be able to display the amps being used. I initially connected a cheap 800w inverter for about 45 quid. It lasted a week. I upped the budget and bought a Krieger but it lasted 3 months and burned out. Ive now connected an energize 1110w I bought from Argos, so far so good and quiet as a mouse.

I have glue/food on the charge controller behind the protective screen. Solar panel also has a volume of quite obvious scratches. Aren’t these supposed to be new/unused items straight from the manufacturer? I’m an electrician, and tempted to return these. But I want to give you guys a chance to explain what happened to my charge controller and solar panel.

fast service really easy to set up

Top value have paid more just for the pannel

Super efficiency and easy to install and use.

Keeps my two leisure batteries topped up nicely, if I use my diesel night heater, inverter and lights and navigation equipment overnight the batteries are charged up very quickly in the morning

Very easy to set up and install but plan it out where its going to fit before running cables and fuses, to achieve the best finish with tidy cabling

Schnelle Lieferung und sauber verpackt. Leichter Aufbau und läuft super und zuverlässig. Ich habe die Anlage schon eine Zeit lang in Betrieb und kann nicht klagen.

I installed this on my RV. It was fairly easy for what it is, but wouldn’t recommend self install unless you are very comfortable with electrical install and drilling holes in your trailer. It works great for keeping my batteries charged while the RV is in storage and will maintain charge based on normal camping light and water pump usage. I added an inverter to the load side of the controller and that works great for charging cell phones etc. I bought the 20 amp controller and 12 v system means I can get 240 watts out of this inverter connected to the controller vs directly to the battery where I could get more. This watt level was sufficient for what I needed. Seems to stay on float most of the time when not in use which is at about 0.5 amps. Perfect trickle charge. I’ve seen it in normal charge a few times but the batteries have stayed topped off mostly this year and I’m not always looking at it. Instruction manual leaves some to be desired. Use YouTube for menu set up there are a few videos out there.

Purchased this complete Renogy Solar Panel / Charging System as my first foray into solar energy. Paired with a Li Fe 30 am hour battery, this complete system powers the DC Blower on my air tight wood stove in the event of a Hydro failure. On a cloudy / overcast winter day in B.C. Canada, 2 100 Watt panels deliver a good 30 watts of usable power, enough energy for the blower and to charge the battery. Having a MPPT charge controller maximizes voltage and current from the two series wired solar panels. In addition, the Rover charge controller provides a great deal of information in regards to voltage, current, battery capacity etc., and the readout measures dead accurate against my Fluke multimeter. Very impressed with the value and performance of the Renogy Rover charge controller, plugs, cables and solar panels. A great deal IMHO. Based on my experience so far, this inexpensive solar power system will likely be a stepping stone to bigger things in the future.

I use it on the a foot extension cord (included) in our camper van conversion. It works great. It gives me great flexibility in placing it in the best position via the sun. The monitor tells me how effective it is. Highly recommended.
