ONTARIO, CA, UNITED STATES, December 24, 2025 -- Renogy, a U.S. supplier of off-grid and mobile energy solutions, revealed that its ShadowFlux™ solar panel has been formally acknowledged by Frost & Sullivan as the globe's first rigid solar panel equipped with cell-level shadow management technology. This distinction signifies Renogy's second certification for a "world's first" market position, after Frost & Sullivan's previous confirmation of Renogy's intelligent, portable solid-state batteries for mobile energy storage.

"Our decision to pursue independent certification is fundamentally about building customer confidence," said Renogy's Head of Marketing. "Off-grid power solutions like solar panels and lithium batteries are becoming more important as the market grows, but for many people, they're still not part of everyday life. While suppliers can market performance and features with data, real-world performance takes time to prove."

"That's why Renogy puts our products through rigorous real-life simulations and works with trusted third-party organizations like Frost & Sullivan to validate our claims. By combining real-world testing with independent certification, we aim to educate customers, reduce uncertainty around reliability and safety, and help partners and OEMs make decisions they can trust."Shading ranks among the most prevalent and inevitable issues in solar power production, especially in uses like RVs, boats, overland vehicles, and home rooftops where shadows from antennas, trees, rails, or adjacent structures are common. Traditional rigid solar panels suffer considerable power decline when even a tiny section is shaded.

Based on Frost & Sullivan's independent market analysis, ShadowFlux is the first commercially accessible rigid solar panel to incorporate cell-level shadow management.

This innovation enables unaffected cells to keep functioning when a portion of the panel is shaded, instead of diminishing output over the whole panel. Under partial shading, tests indicate ShadowFlux can deliver up to around 85% greater energy output relative to conventional rigid solar panels, varying with shading patterns and setup conditions—leading to more consistent and dependable power generation in actual use.

Beyond the market position certification, ShadowFlux has completed reliability verification to evaluate its performance consistency in real-world settings. In collaboration with an IECEE CBTL-accredited lab, the product finished over 48 extreme reliability tests mimicking years of outdoor exposure, covering temperature variation, humidity, vibration, and mechanical stress, to gauge long-term durability in challenging scenarios.
