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.

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.

A bit disappointed. I built my own 400 watt suitcase. It does better giving 322 watts when right next to the Renogy giving 278 watts. The issue is the Renogy are black and get very hot reducing capacity. I still keeping them they are lightweight and nice packaging for what they are. I do wish they had done better at its thermal, not not make it black.

K
Kim Howarter

The panel works well. I consistently get 325 watts and during peak sun and location I have gotten 400-425 watts. I would buy again.

I bot five of these panels and wired them together in series in a solar array to produce 12 amps at 200 volts to daily recharge my Jackery 5000 Plus with extra battery pack (10,000 watt hour capacity). It is working great! My office is now operating off grid entirely from the power of the sun! This has been such a fun project!

Excellent Customer Service and Outstanding Support

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Renogy team for their excellent customer service, professionalism, and dedication to resolving customer issues. Their response was efficient, helpful, and reassuring throughout the process. I truly appreciate the way they handled my situation and their commitment to finding a solution.

Thank you to the entire team for your patience, kindness, and outstanding support. I am very grateful for the way you treated me as a customer and for the effort you put into resolving my problem. Renogy has earned my appreciation and respect.

Great addition to our portable solar. Now we have 440 watts.

The support legs are WAY too short. They do not allow adequate adjustment to focus on the sun in all situations. They are primarily set to capture Sun that is HIGH in the sky. Up here in the North, that becomes a problem in the Winter.

There solution was to just find something to prop it up higher if I needed to. WHAT? I know shorter legs saves you a couple of bucks on each build, but that is insane for a portable solar device. They said if that was not good enough I had to pay the shipping back and a 4% restocking fee.

I plan on keeping the panels but your support design, quite frankly, sucks. It limits use to what YOU wanted it to be without concern for the end user... and your response fully reflects that.

This is a PORTABLE device. There will not always be something available to facilitate your lack of foresight.

Seems Renogy is off of my shopping list for the future now.

They look like they are solidly built with good hinges, also put out about 20% more power than my existing 400w panel

I've only used it once so far but it worked great. I topped off two power stations in just a few hours. Looking forward to using it with my Airstream Camper.

Easy to deploy. Easy to store, dont take up too much room in my truck. Good power delivery.

Shipping package on the solar suitcase was pretty bad. Box was mostly open on one end and obviously resealed on the other end. The panel does not appear to be damaged but have not used it yet.

K
Kevin McLaren

I like that the panel is relatively light, easy to set-up and connect. So far have not been able to generate 400w of solar. Has been in the 285-305w range. I hope after more testingin different conditions it will provide 400w.

Very good power output. Well over 75% of max power output obtained from two series connected 400W panels in late February, SoCal.

Delivery was quick and panels arrived in good condition.

The panels need to be handled, in particular unfolded, with care. There is the potential to create significant stresses on the two hinges that link each adja cent pair of panels.

Not suitable for use in moderately strong winds if panels are not laid down flat.

As long as the panels are handled properly and windy situations avoided when not lying flat they should have a long lifetime.

Very solid construction. It plugs in easily to my device and delivers good output. Shipping and delivery was easy to track and delivery was as expected.

Checked the open voltage and it was right on. Have not had the chance to check it while charging my Solar Generator yet, way to cold here for and old goat to be out in it. Panel looks great, as well as it's suitcase. Shipping was fast and no damage to the box.

I've been using these portable panels for a year and a half. They are cumbersome, which I expected of a 400 watt set. In good sun I see up to 300 watts of generation. I have 2 complaints: the lip on the bottom of the frame collects dirt, the carry bag is not sufficient to protect the faces of the panels. The panels are very sturdy. A strong wind gust caught the panels and sent them cartwheeling about 50 feet across the yard. The set survived with no broken frames or hinges, and no damage to the panels. They still produce between 200 and 300 watts.

I wish you would include a cable with your connectors to match the output cable from the panels. I had to cut of the connectors to make it work

E

It may be 400 watts, but even in direct sun during the meat of the day, the most I can get out of the panel is 325 watts. It is easy to setup . You can see the quality in the construction and materials. Make sure you purchase connecting wiring. It only comes with a short pig tail of wire.
