Frequently Asked Questions
1.What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system?
A solar panel has to be connected a charge controller to regulate current, and a battery to store the electrical power. You will need adapter kit cables to wire the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables connecting the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.
2.What does off-grid and on-grid mean?
On-grid simply means solar power equipment (array or solar panel) is connected to the electrical grid, while off-grid refers to systems that are not connected to the grid and therefore store the generated power for later use. Off-grid systems are not affected by grid blackouts.
3.Why is my solar panel under producing?
Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy sky, and dirt and stain build up on the top glass will cause a reduced power output.
4.How should I connect solar panels in my electrical circuit (series vs parallel) ?
Solar panels can be connected in series or in parallel to meet your electrical circuit size and power demand. Connecting solar panels in series will have the effect of adding up their operating voltage output, while system current output will be the same as that for one panel. While, connecting solar panels in parallel will have a different effect; individual panels operating current output will add up to be the system output current, while system output voltage will be the same as the output voltage of one solar panel. To meet the optimum power output and system rating for your power system, you can use both parallel and series connections.
5.How many solar panels do I need?
The best way to gauge how many solar panels you need, is to understand and define the power load needed from this system. Power is measured in Watts, and capacity is commonly measured in Watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required number of hours of operation multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2). Therefore, it is wise to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity, and accordingly decide how many panels or how much power input is needed.
6. 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 product titles (ex. 150W 12V CIGS Solar panel) does not refer to the actual voltage (Voc or Vmp) of the solar panels, but rather to the voltage of the solar system or energy storage system to which the panel is best suited. The voltage of the solar panel must be higher than the solar system voltage.
7. What type of portable power station/solar generator is suited for the 400W Lightweight Portable Solar Suitcase?
This 400 watt solar panel is compatible with most portable power stations. Ensure the DC input voltage exceeds 48V. For optimal performance, pair it with a power station that has a high input capacity and an efficient BMS.
8. How do I choose the right charge controller for my 400W Lightweight Portable Solar Suitcase?
Ensure the controller matches your battery voltage and that the PV input voltage is within the controller's capacity. Upgrade if panel power exceeds controller capacity. The controller should support at least 30A for the 400W portable solar panel.
9. What do I need to complete my off-grid solar system?
This 400W portable solar panel can be used with a charge controller to connect to your system battery or paired with a portable power station. To set up, you'll need adapter kit cables to connect the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables to link the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.
10. How should I connect the 400 watt pv panel in my electrical circuit (series vs parallel)
Solar panels can be connected in series or in parallel to meet your electrical circuit size and power demand. Connecting solar panels in series will have the effect of adding up their operating voltage output, while system current output will be the same as that for one panel. While, connecting solar panels in parallel will have a different effect. Individual panels operating current output will add up to be the system output current, while system output voltage will be the same as the output voltage of one solar panel. To meet the optimum power output and system rating for your power system, you can use both parallel and series connections.
11. How much output can a 400 watt solar panel provide in real-world use?
Solar panels typically deliver about 85% of the rated power. It can exceed this in clear midday conditions but may drop in less ideal lighting or cloudy weather. To maximize output, set the panel in a shadow-free area and avoid prolonged shading.
12. What type of portable power station/solar generator is suited for the 400W Lightweight Portable Solar Suitcase?
This 400 watt solar panel is compatible with most portable power stations and is ideal for both solar power systems for home use and camper solar panel setups. Ensure the DC input voltage exceeds 48V. For optimal performance, pair it with a power station that has a high input capacity and an efficient BMS.
13. How do I choose the right charge controller for my 400W Portable Solar Panel?
Ensure the controller matches your battery voltage and that the PV input voltage is within the controller's capacity. Upgrade if panel power exceeds controller capacity. The controller should support at least 30A for the 400W portable solar panel.

    Posted by Chris M on Oct 15th 2024

    The Renogy 400W Lightweight Portable Solar Suitcase is a great product. It is very well built and produces a high wattage output even in the hot weather of Florida. It also works great with the BLUETTI AC300/B300/B300k solar generator.

    Portable, Reliable, Sturdy, Stylish

    Posted by Cristian on Aug 16th 2024

    I absolutely love these solar panels! I love the versatility since I can take them out when I go camping or keep them as an auxiliary power source on my sailboat, without the need to ever install them permanently. They are a little bigger than I anticipated but they are rated for 400W so the added size is expected, over let's say a 200W panel setup. Funny enough, these panels actually produce more power than some of my other permanently installed solar panels. The build quality is excellent, starting from the solar panels themselves to the carry bag. The color scheme is stylish and they look and feel premium. Using them does feel like using a top of the line product. The frame is sturdy and feels like it can easily withstand the outdoor elements. I also love the blue corner protectors that keep the panels a little bit off the ground and protect the edges. I've read and watched some reviews complaining that the kickstand is not adjustable, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel that having it adjustable doesn't add much and can lead to a potential weak point, breakage, or water sipping into the adjustment mechanism and leading to rust or other sorts of damage. The easier they are to use, the more reliable, and less prone to damage they are, the more points they score in my book. Since the build is mostly made of metal with very little plastic, they can be a little heavy. Personally, I consider the added weight a bonus since I don't have to worry that they will fly away with the wind, bend or break if something runs into them. If you're moving them short distances, such as from your car to your campsite, the weight is not an issue. The handles are also really well made and are constructed out of one piece of metal. They don't have any padding to make them softer which is good since you don't have to worry about the material rotting or going bad in the rain or snow. For longer distances, I move them using a collapsible cart/wagon which makes transportation a breeze. Connectivity is easy, just connect them to a charge controller and a battery and you are good to go. If you want to run your regular 110v appliances, just connect an inverter to the battery. Connect your coffee maker, toaster or any other electronics you like. It really is as ingenious and easy at it sounds. This solar panel is more than enough to power all of this. Just makes sure you have a good battery, good wattage on your inverter, and a good charge controller (recommend MPPT). Renogy makes all of these as well and I've owned several of them throughout the years without issues, but you can really use any brand you like, they are all inter-compatible (thank God). Price-wise, you get what you pay for. The cost spread out over years of use comes out to actually be low per year of use. At least, that's how I look at it and it makes sense to me when making this decision. If I buy a cheaper solar panel but it lasts me 6-12 months before the issues start appearing and I have to buy a new one every time, I'm actually financially better off by just buying this product. In terms of the enjoyment of use factor, every-time I use these solar panels it feels really good to use them. They are well made, reliable, and very pleasant to look at. Spread that enjoyment out over years of use and that makes me a happy camper (literally, pun intended).

    Another Piece to the Boondocking Puzzle

    Posted by Tony Houston on Aug 11th 2024

    I just used this suitcase to charge an Ecoflow River Pro from 47% charge to 100% in 2 hours, 17 minutes. The panels were NOT aligned for maximum charge but laid flat on a trailer roof. They still achieved 220 watts. I'm VERY satisfied with their performance. They should achieve near 400 watts if properly aligned. They're light for their capacity but not "light." Definitely wear gloves when touching the metal panel frames / handles after they've been in the sun a while. They're great for rigidity and handling when cool, but they get HOT!

    Stupid simple and quick to use!

    Posted by LeadfootVagabond on Aug 9th 2024

    First solar panels ever. Unboxed the 400w panel and had it set up in 30 secs. Once you open the kickstands, they stay open, ready to hold the panels. Connect the MC4 cables, connect to your battery bank (Delta2 Max here) and done! ~350w is great. Don't be fooled. These are solidly constructed and feel rugged, but that does equal "heavy". They're also a bit long but they're still very manageable. The size and heft is worth the increased potential output. Very impressed!

    400W Portable Solar Suitcase

    Posted by Keith K. on May 10th 2024

    I was skeptical on how much power these panels would deliver when compared to the name plate, and it exceeded my thoughts. In full sun mid day in Michigan (April no less) I was able to generate 365W's!!!!! The second surprise was how strong these are build with the aluminum frames and kick stand legs. These to date are the strongest and one of the highest performance portable panels that I own. You will not be disappointed with this product! -Keith@ThreeDayRV

    Easy to carry

    Posted by Ron on Mar 12th 2024

    As someone who's constantly on the move, I can't overstate how much I value its portability. At just a little over 13kg, the fact that it packs 400W is mind-blowing. It's incredibly easy to carry on camping trips. Believe me, every gram matters when you're out in the wilderness.

    Perfect

    Posted by Jeff on Mar 12th 2024

    I invested in the Renogy 400W solar suitcase to power my outdoor adventures, from charging my electronics on camping trips to keeping my RV batteries topped up, this panel does it all. It's a bit hefty, but hey, for a 400W portable solar panel, it's already pretty lightweight. Even on overcast days, it manages to squeeze out some extra juice, which is impressive!
