Since the first modern solar cells came about in the 1950s,
people have been constantly looking to expand product options, harness the
newest technology, and create the most cost effective solar energy solutions.
In the many years between 1950 and 2010, most solar products were bulky, heavy,
and susceptible to easy shattering and cracking. In other words, the vast
majority of panels were designed for installation by electricians or
construction workers, and not by ordinary people. Fast forward to the last ten
years or so, and you will find that panels have become lighter, stronger, and
designed for increased portability as more people have conceptualized the
benefits of using solar energy for new purposes.
Renogy is making efforts to keep up with the new demands
presented by customers looking to take their panels to different places and/or
use them for different purposes. To demonstrate their commitment to provide
cost effective, alternative solar products, Renogy designed the 60W and 100W
Solar Suitcase. After several years of customers calling in, asking for
smaller, more portable panels for camping and RV traveling, Renogy decided to
combine their highly efficient monocrystalline solar cells with a lighter space
saving design. What they discovered is that solar power and portability can be
utilized together to create a highly efficient battery-charging device.
Even more convenient is the fact that the 60W and 100W Solar
Suitcases come with a built-in 10 amp charge controller with full parameter
control for a wider range of use. The charge controller also keeps the
connected battery from becoming overcharged or discharged with prolonged use.
The 10amp charge controller comes with an LCD display and a four level monitoring
system that is perfect for helping new solar users monitor and learn about
their panels. The solar cells found in the portable suitcase are German made,
designed with the highest quality silicon wafers to provide an excellent
charge. The panels themselves are small and can be folded in half to create a
relatively small carrying suitcase, 13.6x25.4x2.8 inches for the 60W Suitcase
and 19.88x27.17x2.36 inches for the 100W Suitcase. The back of each folded
panel includes stands for proper positioning under direct sunlight, even if the
panel has to be placed on a flat rooftop or the ground. All of the
aforementioned features allow users to take their solar panels to new places
without having to worry about how much space they consume, whether they will be
too heavy, and the dangers of exposed glass coming into contact with sharp
objects. Customers who purchase these panels can rest assured that they have
purchased a quality product as Renogy guarantees a 25 year power output and 5
year workmanship warranty.
The uses for a 60W or 100W Solar Suitcase are almost
endless. These panels can be stored without taking up too much space in an RV
or even smaller vehicle, and toted to a destination for battery charging.
Alternatively, the panel can be unfolded and tilted on a boat deck for battery
charging on the water. The crocodile
clips included in the product package make it easy to connect the panel directly
to a battery. Stop depending on a gas powered generator and discover the many
