About this item
- 【Efficient Performance】The Starter Kit will produce an average of 500Wh of electricity per day (Based on 5 hours of direct sunlight condition). The Cell Efficiency can reach 22%. The bypass diodes ensure that the panel has an excellent performance in a low-light environment and the TPT back sheet dissipates excess heat to ensure smooth output performance.
- 【Solid Quality】Advanced encapsulation material with multi-layered sheet laminations protects cells from physical damage and distortion, improving cell performance and providing a long service life.
- 【Smart Function】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller is compatible with four different types of batteries: Sealed, Gel, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. It also features advanced 4-stage charging (bulk, boost, float, and equalization) to ensure your battery is efficiently and safely charged to 100%.
- 【Full System Protection】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller has a number of built-in protections to safeguard your systems, such as reverse polarity protection, battery overcharging protection, overload protection, and short circuit protection.
- 【Ready to Install】This 100w Solar Panel Kit includes all of the equipment necessary for building a new system. The included cables, Z-brackets, and pre-drilled holes on the back frame of the panel allow fast and secure mounting. With the Wanderer Li 30A PWM Charge Controller, the kit can meet your further power needs by adding more of the same solar panels to expand up to 400W.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I purchased this to install on the Roof of my Jeep wrangler (overland built) to serve as a way to charge an auxiliary deep cycle battery which powers my permanently mounted ARB fridge as well as all the camp LED lights and recharge phones and electronic equipment. I was fairly new at this solar thing but did a ton of research on the subject before settling on this. There are tons of off-brand products in this category as well as a vast array of pricing options, both higher and lower than this set up. However, after careful consideration and countless review reading and youtube watching, I decided that this set up was best suited for my application.
The problem: I built my Jeep to do some overlanding and one thing that I cannot live with is my ARB fridge which is permanently mounted in the kitchen which sits in the back of the car. The car doesn't have a dual battery system and so the fridge is/was plugged into the cranking battery which is not optimal as you do run the risk of the fridge draining your cranking battery and leaving you stranded (NOTE: Fridge does have a shut off feature which measures the voltage of the battery and turn itself off if said voltage is below "x" volts. Also my Jeep is a standard so I can push it / get a quick tow to get it started and I do always have a battery pack / starter as a precaution...).
The solution: Getting an auxiliary battery to supply the fridge (and other accessories) and a solar panel to keep this battery topped off while at camp and on the road.
I chose Renogy after my many hours of research because of the name brand recognition and the the many reviews that seem to point at a great company with solid products and good support. So far I can say that the reviews are 100% correct in that I made the right choice. The package arrived well wrapped and precisely as advertised. The panel is solidly built and all the cabling provided is the correct gauge with the proper connectors. I really wanted to get a name brand Charge controller after reading that cheaply made units can both be highly inefficient and could be dangerous. In hindsight I probably would rather the version of the solar charge controller than has the integrated LED screen providing the charging and consumption metrics but price point on this project was met with the simpler unit. I am using some third party units to measure charging metrics and load usage which is fine but does require more wiring.
The panel comes with all the brackets to install in on a flat surface and my guess is that 90% of the time people will need to do some custom installation of sort so these brackets, although perfectly adequate for a flat install are useless to me at the moment. All the connections are well made and this gives me no reason to believe that they will not last a long time. Right now in full sun and FLAT on my roof rack (note: flat is not optimal as the sun is never perfectly perpendicular to the panel and a 45 degree angle would be better to adjust for the that) the panel does produce about 5.5/6 AmpH and about 24 volts which according to what I calculated will be more than adequate to keep the smaller deep cycle (35amp hour) battery I am using topped off and run all the accessories I want to run off of it.
I intent to post photos of the set up once it's complete as well as add to this review when i have had a chance to use the system to a greater extent.
The item is as described and contains all parts, packaged well for shipping. The online and hard copy User's Guide/Installation instructions are well thought out and easy to understand. I was in a hurry to install and could have benefited studying the User's Guide, systematically, but didn't have the time as this is my main source of power.
In buying a solar starter kit (from a different buyer on a different platform) I found that one needs to know the exact parts that are needed for individual needs (extension wiring for panel to reach controller 10'-20', and/or z brackets to secure panel in place). Different kits offer different items and leave out other important ones so it's important to check all the parts needed to install before buying and pay attention to the features (lcd screen, usb ports, etc) of the controller. There are also blue tooth units and a phone app to use to track what the panel is doing and the state of the batteries, for an additional charge.
In this kit (100W mono panel, 30A controller), the panel works well and will charge 2-12V deep-cycle batteries linked together, at 50% charge level, in two days of direct sunlight to a full float charge. The panel arrived in good shape but I think needs mounted in a permanent location with a metal supporting stand rather than using in a temporary setting. The metal surrounding the panel crystals could be sturdier. The controller is plastic but mounts easily, works well, and is easy to install to the panel and on the wall.
I think that this is a really good starter solar kit for those wanting to use and understand solar, for the price, in an off-grid system. I like that the company put the effort into writing a good installation manual and phone app for tracking. Materials used in manufacture could be a little stronger and sturdier in the panel. Tech support is very difficult to reach: the 800 number rings a fast busy signal (permanently), the local phone number in Southern Cal has long waits (27 callers ahead on several occasions), and it takes about 2 days to get an e-mail answer from tech support that gives cut and dried answers from the book and doesn't volunteer extra information.
All in all, this purchase was a great value for a well-working product, but along with value be prepared to do a lot of the research/troubleshooting on your own. I hope that after the pandemic, Renogy becomes easier to reach for after sale and tech support.

Installed it at my remote camp in northern Ontario this past weekend and all worked great. Will be adding more panels later
Keeping a 100ah lifepo4 topped up without any struggle.
The only downside is you will need a 10a fuse.
