The solar panels do what they are suppose to do. They work great in converting sun energy into DC power. Because of its size, however, the total wattage is limited. The protective case is very sturdy especially since the panels fold outward in the case. The product itself could use some minor modifications such as one to two panel locking bracket(s) that would make the two panels one panel so it can be easily moved to catch the sun rays. It could use more rubber padding (to protect the panels from getting scratched up) where the panels touch the ground which in most campsites is gravel or tar. For the unenlightened, there could be a note in the instructions telling the operator to really pull hard on the bracket to release the controller from the Velcro behind the controller bracket so that the controller swings out and hangs on its two bracket hinges. And speaking of instructions: they could be more product specific (that is, for just the Foldable Charging Kit and not so general) as well as address how to use the accompanying heat sensing cables (if they are, indeed, applicable to the Foldable Charging Kit)!Read full review

Have had multiple opportunities to run this with a battery and my radios for remote communications away from AC power to keep the batteries topped off. I have yet to run into a situation where it did not meet my expectations or function properly. The panels themselves and the charge controller are very solid. Instructions are not included in the package. You'll need to download the manual from Renogy's website. My only complaint is that the two metal latches that lock the panels together when not storing the panels in their suitcase are very flimsy and cheap. They do not line up properly no matter how you align the panels together and one of them is already falling apart. I will have to replace them with something more reliable very soon.

Great product and I caught it at a great price. I told my buddy about it and when he went to order, the price had gone back up. :( It could stand to have a little longer leads though. I'm going to look into buying some or making some. I went from running my generator for a couple of hours in the morning and then again in the evening to maybe once a weekend when I 1st get back to my trailer after being gone a couple of weeks. Running a gennie at camp can be annoying and not having to very often or at all is awesome! I'm sure my guests appreciate it as well. Pick one up. You won't regret it!

I use these panels for RVing. I have 2-6volt golf cart batteries and use an inverter to power my TV and satellite system. I just spent 5 days at the beach (overcast weather most of the time), these panels kept my batteries fully charged the entire trip. I never had to start my generator on this trip.

Walking in Oceano RV Park I saw a camper that had this unit set up. He, also showed me the very strong and durable nylon cover with zipper. I especially liked 4 things. First, it has very sturdy adjustable stands on both sides. So, no pipe or wood frame to support it. SECOND. It folds up - no pipes or boards to fuss with keeping it in the upright position. THIRD, once folded it is easily positioned into the carrying case. I sit the case in my back seat and zip it shut. 100 watts. Comes ready to attach to ones battery. I liked it so much I ordered a 2nd unit. Now, its a focal point, I have gotten to meet a lot of RVers because of their inquiry in these RENOGY panels. A 10 out of 10!
