I have the Renogy 400w, I like it and it works fine. Not too bulky to move around (like the horrible EcoFlow 400w panel). I went ahead and got the 400w due to shrinking sunlight area in my backyard to set up. Over the past few years, the shadows from some oak tree canopies (think 80-100ft tall trees) has grown more and reduced the area of full sunlight my yard gets, so I need to get as much solar input for my AC180 and Delta Max 2 in a hurry before shadows take over. Spreading out two 220w panels would get tricky.
I really like both of these. The rigid frame is so much better than most other portable panels. I have two of the Blueti PV350's and although not as bad as the EcoFlow 400 watt panel, they do droop quite a bit especially when hot. The 220 watt model seems to have the perfect Voc to make putting 2 in series a great match for most of those power stations that have the 60 volt, 500 watt input limit. Thanks for reviewing!
I look at the footprint, it seems the 400 watt panel would be the best choice if you need the extra power. Having 2 of the 220 watt panels out would obviously cover more area and twice the hook up. With my generator controlling the input myself I can ease off the power if all I used was the 400 watt if needed. It is to each his own. I think it's great to have many panels but would look at putting panels on the roof and forgetting about any footprint worry or damage from outside accidents or activities. In my opinion the more powerful and a single set up is def the way to go. Expand your power system and use all panels together. Either way this is a great video and I appreciate your concise effort very much.
Excellent reviews of both types of panels. I think I would buy a pair of the 220's and one of the bigger 400w to keep at home for emergency power. This last hurricane knocked power out in TX for a couple of days at my son's place would have come in handy for him. Safe thing for us in AR where the power is constantly going out.
After researching various portable panels for boondocking, i recently purchased these panels on BF. I think they will pair up quite well with my sogen's. The warranty is astounding along with the longevity and rigid frame. Thank you for all the great info/reviews/testing you do on a copious amount of products.
I bought the 220 panel to start my rv system equipment acquisitions. Interesting the output levels of these 2 systems. I plan on putting 100w panels on a van with these panels.
I noticed walmart is selling ecoflow power stations with slightly lower battery capacity than other retailers. Example w-mart ecoflow river 2 has 243wh vs the normal 256wh. They seem to be carrying a derated unit in every size category. very strange.
Two of the smaller 220 watt panels = more options in more places. Plus more volts when connected together in series. Beautiful Detailed Review. Thank you 🙏
It's hard to decide I'm new to solar generators & it seems you almost have to go slightly over what your solar input limit is just to get close to a maximum charge.. I have a Jackery 2000 with two charge ports that's limited to 400w each for a total of 800w two 400w panels on a average day won't have me near my max input
@Jasonoid My goal would be 500w per side if I read correctly (i cant remember where) if you run your panels I believe it was in Parallel the open Circuit voltage is my main concern & would stay the same as long as all the panels are the same which I think means I'll need five 100w panels .. per side.. And that would be uncivilized 😄 .. After Browsing more info I realize I was wrong. Open circuit voltage gets multiply. So never mind, thank you.
Since I have small power stations, I will get the 220W one. Once I get a larger power station then I would have to decide if I would add another 220 and / or get a 440 and use the 220 stand alone for my smaller power stations. One question- are the kickstands adjustable for angle or do they open and lock in at a certain angle? I think this is great! Thanks for this great video!!!
Katy, the 400 is a little awkward for this 74 year old, but I don't have to move it very far. You have to watch for the total volt input with two panels.
Thanks for the review. I've always gone with Renogy and currently have 3 suitcase panels, the older heavy units, one 100w and two 60w which they discontinued long ago. So I have 220w going to a 30A Wanderer which is rated for 400w. I would prefer to get 2 220w units but Renogy says no way to the Wanderer and they have to since it technically isn't rated for 440w. But it sure seems like it would be very unlikely you would ever get an actual 440 out of these panels. But better safe I guess so probably a 40A in my future.
Jason, I really like your videos. I'm thinking of getting the 220W suitcase to pair in series with my Renogy 400W suitcase. I have an Ecopro Delta 2 Max and the solar input max is 60V. Do you think it would be okay to use these together as a series pair? I'm pretty sure the voltage would be less than 60V due to line losses, but it would be great to get some feedback from you.
The rated VOC of those panels is over 60v. If it's hot and you confirm the VOC is less than 60v you should be good to use them in series. If it gets cold, you won't be able to use them together on the same port, you can plug one into one port and the other panel into the second port (since the D2M has two solar inputs).
Hi Jason, your channel is a real gem, thanks very much for the education. Based in large part due to a number of your videos, I recently purchased a Bluetti AC180 power station along with a Renogy 220W suitcase solar panel. We went on a 6000 mile road trip and powered an ICECO VL45Pro refrigerator in the truck with no problem. The only "issue" I had was that the cable from the 220W suitcase to the AC180 was quite short. I'd like to keep the AC180 in the shade/vehicle while having the 220W suitcase panel nicely out in the sun without having to move it around a lot during the day at a base camp while overlanding. My question (for the equipment listed above) is would it be best to use a 20 foot or 30 foot (or other?) extension cable; additionally would it be better to use 12 gauge wiring or 10 gauge wiring (or other?) I'd appreciate your expertise on this. Thanks very much.
I'd recommend a 12awg cable for 20 feet, anything longer I'd go with 10 awg. This is a great option where the cables are connected together: amzn.to/3LWUT0S
@@Jasonoid Thanks Jason, I went ahead and ordered the cable you linked above (30 foot, 10awg). While it was a fair bit more $$ than a 20 foot 12awg, I figured the extra length would be better able to get the 220W suitcase into the sunlight; it would also have a little less voltage drop; plus if I ever need to do a parallel panel setup (not with the AC180 though), the 10awg will better handle the increased amperage. Thanks for the help!
4:18 Thanks for showing the lower performance of hot solar panels as it's not mentioned often! I've been doing the finishing touches on a portable DIY 400W folding hard frame lightweight flexible panel setup and was wondering if ~300W was normal for hot panels.
I have a Dodge Grand Caravan intended for longer travel, leaning toward the 400w model to save space over 2 panels. Have Bluetti AC180 & need to power APL35 Iceco 24/7 & electronics, occasional small appliances & fans. Stated dimensions on 400w should fit just behind sliding door. Considering 2nd AC180 on sale to power non-fridge items & for fridge when re-charging the other one. Alternate could be rooftop solar. Great reviews & love the frame, quality & waterproofness!!
Buy a good quality charge controller, from a company builds quality and has, at the very least poor customer support. Sadly and unfortunately, with Renogy you have poor quality in both area's. You will be left desperately frustrated
And for a public listed company on the stock exchange, this is terrible. Lift yr game Renogy or risk losing customers and millions of dollars from investors (my family are at their wits end and are ready to sell off $300,000 in shares. That may seem like small change to you guys. When it comes to business, Customer satisfaction and share holder confidence is #1 & #2 in survival. Like I said, lift your game...
I watched your video before I decided on a solar panel. I went with the 220w Renogy. I did a quick test in 105 degrees F on a cloudy day and got about 80w. I took it camping and got about 130w to 150w in 90F plus weather. My 1000x GoalZero will not let me have my 100w panel run with this panel. I would like to get a second 220w panel and either y connect it to my 8 mm 20 ft cable or get a second 20 ft 8mm cable, and see if I can get them both to charge at the same time. I still have to drill a hole in my trailer and put a grommet in. I also want to get the 200ah Renogy battery and run the trailer off of that and the Truma C44 Fridge off of the GoalZero. I think I am asking too much of Renogy when I had the fridge at 34 Degrees F. IT just couldn't keep up, I had to run it at 37 degrees F. The 220w Renogy Solar panel does produce more energy than my DC to DC charging with my Outback Wilderness, 112w.
Does your fridge have a Max setting? If it's set to ECO mode it usually cant run fast enough to hold the setpoint but if you can set it to max mode, it should hold the lower temp just fine.
@@Jasonoid Ohh dang that was a quick response. Max setting, I'll check that. There are 2 items to check: Make sure turbo mode is off. Make sure I didn't flick the switch over to emergency over ride. The fridge is in the back with my Goalzero and the exhaust is pointed right at the Goalzero. Its not a lot of room back there. I added a fan to push the air around. I also have it plugged in AC to AC, so I'm losing a little bit in the conversion over to DC on the Goalzero. My Goalzero doesnt have the 2 prong plug on it. I have 2, 8mm ports, cigarette lighter port and an anderson port. I'm looking for a 2 prong to 8mm, don't even know if they make that. It's all about keeping my homebrew mead cold.
I bought this product based on your review, and it's been a nightmare ever since. It arrived as a used, well-worn-out POS. After several phone calls, I returned it for a refund. Six weeks later, when I received a tracking number, they told me I was crazy and that they needed to educate me on the process. Now I have another panel and have to return it again. AVOID this company at all costs. They are a bunch of condescending A-Holes. Your review was fantastic, this is not your fault.
Great review as usual Jason. Would the Renogy 220 work together with my Bluetti PV200 on my Bluetti 180 power station? Or would it just be better to get 2 Renogy 220's? I heard the PV200 really only works well with another PV200.
To get the most power you'll need both solar panels to have the same voltage and amperage at peak power. You can see these specs on the back of the panel. Compare both and see how they differ.
@@Jasonoid Thanks Jason. I've been trying to order two 220's on Renogy's web site but I've been having all kinds of problems so I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks for your help though and the speedy reply. 🙂

SO it seems better to get 200W and two of them vs a single 400W? I'm seeing 300sh watts midsummer, vs 160x2? Looking at the ECOFLOW 220W for a semi-permanent setup just to charge my new Delta Pro 3. Do you have any advice?
I ordered 2 of the 400w. After hurricane Beryl, I’ll beefing up my solar arsenal for real! I already have a Vtoman 220w/48v panel and an Allpowers 220w panel.
@@Jasonoid I also have a Rockpals 1048wh. Not great but it provides a service. Then I’ve got a pecron 1500. Pecron 600 and 3600 are on the way along with the iceco VL45.
I didn't hide anything, right at the beginning of the video it shows it's a paid sponsorship popup. I also mentioned it at the end of the video. I showed real world performance of the panel, I could have just taken it right outside the case when it was cold and showed the full 200w+ but I let it sit in the sun and get hot....

How can anyone take companies like that seriously, let alone risking spending even 1 of their hard earned dollars on anything linked to then...
Quality companies don't need to give free shit away to people, as a payment to go and do these FB reviews and try and brainwash anyone who sees it, a free solar panel or whatever, to have them go bla bla bla BS. If they just picked up there game and sold stuff that did what was promised and lasted at least a few months past the warranty period, then theg would not have to do this sly crap...

SO it seems better to get 200W and two of them vs a single 400W? I'm seeing 300sh watts midsummer, vs 160x2? Looking at the ECOFLOW 220W for a semi-permanent setup just to charge my new Delta Pro 3. Do you have any advice?
For a permanent setup, you'll get the best performance from a glass rigid panel. These aren't designed for full time use.
Bought (2) 220 watt w/ 20 amp Voyager controllers for $214.00USD each unit. To be connected in parallel.
Thats a great setup!
I ordered 2 of the 400w. After hurricane Beryl, I’ll beefing up my solar arsenal for real! I already have a Vtoman 220w/48v panel and an Allpowers 220w panel.
That's an awesome setup!
@@Jasonoid I also have a Rockpals 1048wh. Not great but it provides a service. Then I’ve got a pecron 1500. Pecron 600 and 3600 are on the way along with the iceco VL45.
I bought 2/ 220w Renogy panels a few months ago, really happy with the quality and power output. Would like to the Renogy 400w next.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I can not find links to the equipment you tested. You noted links below but I can’t find them.
Really great info.
Glad it was helpful!
I would prefer the 400-watt, to reduce the amount of items to care for.
Good point!
Nice!
If they weren’t so expensive in Europe 😢
Im not sure why the pricing is so different between countries.
1:11-min. Your HaLf The Size & Age it May Take 75-Seconds Lol
Harbor Freight copycat?
Harbor freight makes a panel like this?
You hid that you were paid with product for this video until the end. And you never showed the hinges, which are the only feature. Unsub.
I didn't hide anything, right at the beginning of the video it shows it's a paid sponsorship popup. I also mentioned it at the end of the video. I showed real world performance of the panel, I could have just taken it right outside the case when it was cold and showed the full 200w+ but I let it sit in the sun and get hot.... Not sure what you're expecting 🤣
@@JasonoidI expected better. My mistake.
Whaaa, do what I want, the way I want it. Did you pay to view the video? No. Now shut up you baby.
