100 Watt Eclipse Monocrystalline Solar Suitcase w/ Controller

Arrived just a few days after ordering. Opened the box and everything was ready to go. I hooked it up to a battery and positioned the panels and it worked just like I had hoped for. I’m sure it will work beautifully keeping my travel trailer batteries charged when off grid.

Have not set it up or used it yet. Arrived timely, in good shape everything was included and looked exactly as expected. Hopefully when I actually use it, all will be as advertised.

I received my Renogy 100W Eclipse solar suitcase without any problems. I initially set it up and ended up getting a gender changer for the SAE connection as it was not correct for the Zamp connection in our RPod. However, that became unnecessary when I changed some connections. The issue is the MC4 connectors. While they may be "standard" for solar installations, they are not ideal for situations where connections need to be plugged and unplugged multiple times. Much preferable would be Anderson Powerpole or equivalent connectors that are more robust and made to be connected and disconnected without needing a special tool to disconnect. I did some adapting and use the Powerpole type connectors for my extension as well as for adapting to the SAE connector, where I was able to wire the polarity to not need the gender changer. I also added another connection at the other end of the trailer which means that I can place the panel where it makes sense easier. The other thing that contributed to it only receiving 4 stars is that the hinge for the panels seems insufficient. The panel seems to sag in the middle. A third leg would eliminate this and make the panel much more stable than having just the two legs. There is space enough to put one in the middle. A small issue was the closures. As others have mentioned, it was not well done, and required a little tweaking to line them up properly. If I were rating solely on performance, I would definitely give it 5 stars. I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I am also very pleased with the compact format and with the carrying case. They were nice touches. The unit fits inside the wardrobe of the RPod where it can travel safely, strapped in so it does not fall. We lose a little clothing storage, but this seemed to be the best location for transportation. This won't replace a generator for times where we might need to run the air conditioner, but it will be great when we are traveling to maintain the charge in our LiFePO4 battery when AC is not needed but we need to maintain charge since I use a CPAP machine and wouldn't like to run out of power.

The packaging and the look and neatness of all connections is great but I have not had a chance to use it yet

Nice size and super portable and excellent quality!! Thanks

Keep up the good work with your products and friendly personnel!!

Well built equipment. Certainly exceeded my expectations.

Upon arrival, the zipper on one side of the storage case was blown out. After I got the case open, I discovered the case does not fit the folding panel properly on one side. This made the zipper hard to close and would explain the blown zipper. Will see if the case can be adjusted to fit better. Otherwise, nice product in build quality and electrically tested well. Would buy again, and hope case is better, as panel would be easily damaged without it.

Works well and built well. Nice protection case. Easy to set up and start charging.
