A Renogy 100 watt solar kit to be used for off grid applications

Renogy 100 watt solar kit to use for many applications. It is perfect for people who want to start using solar. 

Use it for off the grid applications;  Sheds, boats, RV's, trailers and campers.

On a seven hour sunshine in mid-summer, it can  generate  600 watt.

7 Times 100 watt = 700 watt.

Take into account a 15% loss and you have 700 times 85/100 = 595 watt.

Round to 600 watt per 7 hour day.

The system makes use of pulse width modulation technology.

The following items are included in the Renogy 100 watt solar kit

Renogy 100 watt solar kit.

• With this charger you can expand your system up to most of 400 watts.

• Water must never enter the controller. Take care to install it indoors in a cool and well-ventilated area. 

Tray Cable

• An 8ft 10AWG Tray Cable connects your charge controller and battery. 

Adaptor Kit

• A 20 feet 10AWG MC4 adaptor kit connects the solar panel to the charge controller.

Inverter

• An inverter is optional depending on the type of electrical equipment you want to use.

Advantages associated with the Renogy 100 watt solar kit

• Broad off grid applications is possible because the controller is negative grounded.

• Grid independence and quiet production of power.

• It ensures reliable output during shady low light conditions by using bypass diodes.

• The frame is anti-corrosive. This ensures the modules to last many years of outdoor usage.

• The solar panels are water resistant.

It has five years warranty on workmanship as well as material.

Take care of the following

• When charging the batteries make sure there is enough ventilation. It is possible that explosive gases may build up while charging.

• One must always connect the charge controller to the battery first. Only then you can connect to the solar panel. This prevents possible high open circuit voltage at the terminals.

• All connections into and from the controller should be tight. It can happen that there are sparks when making the connection. No flammable materials or gases should be close to the installation.

Some valuable remarks about the Renogy  100 watt solar kit

One person has mounted the panel on top of his trailer. That ensured charging while driving from one campsite to the other.

The charge controller is then mounted on the inside of the trailer. He takes the Adaptor Kit through a hole in the trailer and connects it to the Renogy solar panel.

Another person has strapped the panel down with his ratchet tie, on top of his pop-up camper. That ensured the system to be portable and much more flexible. He can use it for various applications.

Also, flat on a surface is no problem. It  performs very well and also with a high output when a bit cloudy.

With a  handy framework it is possible to mount the panel with an angle for maximum sunlight. 

Adjust angle regularly to realize most exposure to sunshine.
