Renogy Announces Completion of 48+ Extreme Reliability Tests on ShadowFlux™ Solar Panels

Renogy Announces Completion of 48+ Extreme Reliability Tests on ShadowFlux™ Solar Panels

Renogy Official |

 

ONTARIO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 7, 2025 — For mobile living, reliability is not just important—it is essential. Renogy, the worldwide leader in off-grid energy solutions, has carried out thorough testing to confirm product dependability for users living on the move. These tests verify the panels' capacity to deliver steady performance in severe environmental situations commonly faced in RV, marine, and off-grid uses.

While solar technology is frequently considered well-established, Renogy maintains its leadership by addressing the practical demands of RV and marine users—individuals who rely on their systems daily, often in remote locations.

“Our customers are people from the RV and marine communities,” said Tiffany Dorin, Renogy’s Vice President of North America Operations. “They’re not solar experts — many have learned from challenging experiences, whether their own or from others. That’s why we put our products through rigorous real-world and lab testing. The reports and test videos increase transparency and help users better understand product reliability.”

Test Program Overview

To ensure reliability, Renogy collaborated with an IECEE CBTL-accredited lab to perform over 48 tests that replicate years of outdoor exposure. These assessments went beyond standard IEC criteria and covered evaluations of thermal cycling, moisture resistance, impact strength, and electrical safety.

Key Test Results:

  • Intense Heat & Humidity: 3,000 hours at 185 °F (85 °C) and 85% humidity—stable performance, no harm.
  • Thermal Cycling: 12,000 cycles ranging from –40 °F (–40 °C) to +185 °F (85 °C)—no decline in performance.
  • Impact Strength: Endured 35 mm hail strikes and a 100 lb sandbag drop without cracks or deformation.
  • Saltwater & Wet Leakage Tests: No electrical leakage or corrosion under 1,500V DC in saltwater environments.
  • Partial Shading Performance: Sustained up to 85% output while conventional panels fell to nearly zero.

The outcomes are clear: under extreme conditions that surpass industry standards, power loss remained below 5% with no structural or electrical issues.

Built to Endure Real-World Conditions

Specifically created for mobile and off-grid use, ShadowFlux™ was engineered to handle mechanical vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and shading issues that standard rooftop panels cannot manage.

In practical tests, ShadowFlux™ delivered up to 30% greater output than conventional panels in shaded settings. Throughout its lifespan, one 200W ShadowFlux™ panel can produce an additional 6,500 kWh of energy—sufficient to run a refrigerator non-stop for three years.

“Whether you’re parked beneath trees at a state park or cloud cover rolls in midday, ShadowFlux means families and adventurers don’t have to plan their lives around the sun. ” Dorin added. “There’s nothing more frustrating than your battery monitor plunging just because a rooftop vent or branch casts a shadow. ShadowFlux maintains power output even in variable weather conditions.”

Trust That Energizes Every Adventure

This assurance has rapidly gained market confidence. During the high season, more than 20,000 ShadowFlux™ units have been sold globally, establishing it as one of Renogy's most widely available products across all sales channels for travelers and professionals in search of reliable off-grid power.
