Frequently Asked Questions
Is this solar suitcase waterproof?
The Renogy 400W Lightweight Portable Solar Suitcase is designed with IP67-rated protection, ensuring robust resistance to dust and temporary water immersion (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). This makes it highly durable in harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and humidity, while its ETFE coating and fiberglass reinforcement enhance weather resistance and structural integrity.
What type of battery can I charge with this 400w portable solar panel?
The Renogy 400W Solar Panel is compatible with various battery types, including 12V lithium-ion battery, sealed lead-acid (SLA), flooded lead-acid (FLA), and gel batteries. To ensure optimal performance and safe charging, it is recommended to pair the panel with an appropriate MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller, such as the Renogy Rover 40A or 60A MPPT charge controller. This will maximize energy conversion efficiency and provide proper voltage regulation for different battery types.
How much power can this 400W portable solar panel produce?
Under optimal sunlight conditions (peak sun hours), the Renogy 400W portable solar panel can generate up to 2000Wh (watt-hours) of energy per day. Actual solar panel energy output varies based on factors like sun intensity, panel angle, weather conditions, and seasonal changes. Expect around 1600-1800Wh daily output in real-world conditions.
What can you run off a 400-watt portable solar panel?
A 400W portable solar panel can power various devices simultaneously, including laptops (45-100W), LED lights (10-20W), smartphones (5-15W), mini-fridges (50-80W), and small appliances. It's perfect for camping, RV trips, and emergency backup power. When paired with appropriate batteries, it provides reliable power for essential electronics and moderate energy needs.
Will a 400W solar panel run a fridge?
Yes, a 400W solar panel can run a standard RV refrigerator or mini-fridge when properly connected to a battery system. However, for continuous operation, especially during cloudy days or nighttime, you'll need adequate battery storage. The panel provides enough power for most 12V refrigerators consuming 50-80W per hour.
How long does it take a 400W solar panel to charge a 12V battery?
Charging time for a 12V battery using the 400W solar suitcase depends on battery capacity and sunlight conditions. For a typical 100Ah battery at 50% discharge, expect 8-10 hours of charging in optimal sunlight. The integrated MPPT controller ensures efficient charging, reducing overall charging time compared to standard controllers.
How many batteries do I need for a 400 watt portable solar panel?
For optimal performance with a 400W portable solar panel, we recommend using one or two 12V batteries with 100-200Ah capacity each. This configuration provides sufficient storage for daily energy needs while maintaining efficient charging. Consider lithium batteries for better performance and longer lifespan.
Can I connect this foldable solar suitcase directly to my RV?
Yes, the 400W foldable solar panel can be connected to your RV's battery system with a suitable charge controller. For optimal performance and safe, efficient charging, we recommend using an MPPT charge controller. Be sure to follow the proper connection guidelines to maintain warranty coverage and ensure reliable operation.
What is the lifespan of this portable solar panel?
The Renogy 400W portable solar panel is built to last, with an expected lifespan of 10 years when properly maintained. The monocrystalline panels feature high-efficiency cells and durable construction, maintaining 80% or more of their original output after 10 years. Regular cleaning and proper storage will help maximize longevity.
