...order another from Renogy to replace it? Another option could be to buy a folding suitcase panel. My panel failed this summer and so used a 100w Renogy suitcase (the suitcase not the cheap heavy folding panel they do) as a temporary fix. Worked really well & will keep in van in pop top for...
In fairness if I didn't go with the Mrs I think I could manage without gas! Her and her tea consumption!
The latest purchase of the Joolca Nomad ensures we need gas for the foreseeable! I'm just glad I fill the 907's myself... Always taking a full 907 out takes the stress away.
The folding 100w Renogy Solar Panel is currently £65 on Amazon.
It's not as cool as the folding fabric based ones but it's solidly built and ideal if you want to dabble in some self sufficient power if you have a LiFePo power pack. Mines been doing good service over the summer for this. Being...
I originally had a 100W panel on, which was full width but a lot shorter, I changed that for a 200W one for more output, the vinyl meant I could remove it easily and left no marks on the roof, the 200W panel lasted 3 years before it just stopped working, which is where we are now and replacing...
...year used 6 R907 cylinders and that was nothing only the fridge, this year we are fitting a compressor fridge so as to get Away from the gas. Have thought about solar but with the shape of the LeisureDrive roof 100w flexi would be my guess at max and they don't give back much after September.
👍
The 12v socket is for 100w max.
Below 80w ideally.
For 200w you need to connect direct to the leisure battery with a fuse.
.....
What size fuse was it that burned out?
Which 12v socket?
Post some pics
It's possible that the cable may have burned or melted if wrong size fuse was fitted?
Two seatbase batteries?!?, bloody hellfire you're going to end up with more lithium on board than an ID Buzz at this rate...
Good plan topping up the EcoFlow, though in my book I'd never describe 100w as "trickle charge" :p
Depending on what solar controller you have, it may not be that simple. We need more information.
A rigid panel will generally last longer and be more reliable than a flexible one.
..."cheap" portable solar setup, around 200W that I could get in the sales besides the Renogy? It will only get occasional use. I tried the Renogy 100W portable at the last offer, was decent but realised I needed more power to keep the Clayton unit topped up.
There's a few brands on Amazon at...
I ended up getting a Dometic engineer out for ours - it turned out to be a temperature sensor - which was like £8 part and then the diagnostic time and some fuel costs so ended up being around £70 total Inc vat to fix. Cheaper than a new fridge anyway!
If it really is the exact same thing and...
...(mainly to power the amps in my stereo)
Fogstar 280ah cells with a JK B2A8S20 BMS
Renogy 40A DC-DC charger
Renogy 1000w inverter
Renogy portable 100w solar panel
Compressor fridge (TBC)
My question is, will the JK app be sufficient for monitoring the system? Or do I need something like a...
I drilled twin wall and sikaflexed the plastic bolts underneath the twin wall, but the solar panel just ripped the plastic bolts straight out. I had driven approx 3000 miles with it until this happened.
Thanks you have all been helpful, I'm just glad there is a light flashing now as the one before was completely dead, if it is the voltage issue the company should of checked this as they supplied and fitted both
Renogy Suitcase panel arrived from Amazon yesterday.... Hooked up to the EcoFlow Delta 2 this morning and a max of 105w input recorded from 100w panel combo. Well pleased as this is a first venture into portable solar.
Evening all,
After some help please. I’ve inherited a 100w suitcase panel and the idea is to connect this direct to my Ctek split charger and use the inbuilt Mppt controller.
I therefore need to remove the inbuilt controller on the panel but which wires do I need to keep for the positive and...
That battery is perfectly matched for a 1000w inverter.
How long it lasts will depend on whats plugged in.
Quick maths.
1000w 1hr
100w 10hr
10w 100hr
I also run the 1000w Renogy on a 230ah Fogstar.
Looks like panel has failed.
Micro cracks on the busbars.
Sun heats up panel causing thermal expansion.
Got a mobile panel to test?
Or connect a small battery to the PV input to see if you get a response from the controller .
Ie
100w Renogy portable suitcase panel.?
