Click Into Savings on Cyber Monday

Thanksgiving 2016 is now history, along with Black Friday. If you didn’t have the time or energy to shove your way through big box stores on Black Friday, then Cyber Monday may be your “discounted” saving grace. If you’ve shopped with us before, you’d know that Renogy works to keep prices low by selling direct to consumers via various online channels. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Renogy.com is running several online sales on Cyber Monday. The Cyber Monday sales last for only one day, November 28, 2016. Below is a snapshot of the great deals and discounts offered on Renogy.com for Cyber Monday 2016:

1)   20% off Renogy RV Kits, 100W-400W 12V (Monocrystalline)

·       Renogy RV Kits are not only perfect for RVs, but also boats and sheds. Each RV Kit includes just about everything you need to install a new off-grid solar project, less the battery (sold separately). The Wanderer PWM Solar Charge Controller, designed specifically for flush mounting, is included in every RV Kit. If flush mounting isn’t ideal because you aren’t using the RV Kit on an RV, a mount is included. The Wanderer PWM Controller regulates the charge flowing between the solar panel(s) and battery bank to avoid overcharge or discharge. All of the 100W Monocrystalline Solar Panels included in the RV Kit have great cell efficiency at 18.4%.

2)   20% off Renogy Premium Solar Kits, 100W-800W (Monocrystalline Eclipse)

• Each Renogy Premium Kit comes stocked with Eclipse Solar Panel(s), which offer the greatest efficiency that Renogy has to offer (module efficiency 18.35%). The Eclipse Solar Panels are unique because the bypass diodes minimize power drop caused by shade and ensure excellent performance in low-light environments. Also included in all Premium Solar Kits is a Commander MPPT Solar Charge Controller, which features maximum power point tracking technology (tracking efficiency up to 99% and peak conversion efficiency up to 98%). The Tracer Meter, also included in each kit, monitors system performance.

Do More with your Flashlight: Introducing the Renogy E.LUMEN Multi-functional Flashlight

When you imagine a typical flashlight, its unlikely that you think it can do anything more than provide a mediocre stream of light. Let’s be honest, that stream of light is hardly mediocre if the flashlight needs a battery change. But what if we told you that Renogy carries a flashlight that not only provides a bright source of light, but can also help you shatter glass and cut through a seatbelt in the event of the emergency? Even better, what if that flashlight can recharge via 3W built-in solar panels? Sure, this multi-use flashlight seems too good to be true, but Renogy has it in stock, just in time for the holiday season.

Crafted with lightweight aluminum, the Renogy E.LUMEN Multi-Functional Flashlight weighs a mere .68lbs, meaning that you’ll be able to carry it anytime, anywhere. Measuring in at 7.83 inches, the E.LUMEN can easily fit into a glove box, safety kit, or purse for easy stow-and-go. As mentioned above, the E.LUMEN has a blade capable of cutting through a seatbelt and a small hammer that is capable of breaking glass, both of which are particularly important in driving related emergencies. If the hammer and blade aren’t enough to catch your interest, the E.LUMEN also has a built-in compass, perfect for those times when you wander off the beaten path. Since the E.LUMEN comes with a USB charging cable, it can also be via portable battery. This not-so-typical flashlight can hold up to 7 hours of power, making it suitable for many different applications.

Next time you think of a flashlight, think of the Renogy E.LUMEN. With several different features unavailable on an ordinary flashlight, it is the only one you’ll need during an emergency. Retailing at $24.99 on Renogy.com, this handy flashlight is a perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season.

Introducing the Renogy Toolbox

So you’ve purchased a new solar kit from Renogy.com, fumbled through all of the components, and before long, you’re wondering how to properly put everything together. We’ve all been there, from assembling toys to furniture, it always seems like the manufacturer makes it hard for you to put things together. At Renogy, we understand your frustrations and we’re determined to make your life easier. Recently, Renogy released the new Multi-Purpose Toolbox, the perfect companion product for any solar kit purchased at Renogy.com.

All Renogy Off-Grid Solar Kits, at a minimum, come with solar panels, MC4 Adapter Kit, a charge controller, tray cables, and mounting brackets. None of the Kits come with any extra tools or hardware for installation. That’s where the Multi-Purpose Toolbox comes in handy. The Toolbox includes the following components: one digital multi-meter, one wire stripper, one crimper, two screw drivers, a set of MC4 tools, and five pairs of MC4 male/female connectors. Each of the components in the Toolbox is important for the proper and safe installation of an Off-Grid Solar Kit. Below are brief descriptions of what each component is used for:

Philips Screwdrivers and Flathead Screwdriver: The screwdriver is a tool that can be found in any standard toolbox. Used for removing or inserting screws, the screwdriver is a common staple in American homes. The screwdrivers can come in handy when installing or removing solar panels from a rooftop or ground mount. The Z-Brackets, included with all Off-Grid Kits, contain small holes for screws to pass through for mounting.

Crimper and Stripper: The crimper and wire stripper are essential tools when repairing MC4 connectors or creating new MC4 wires. These tools can be used to strip the wire and then crimp the MC4 head to the top.

Digital Multimeter: a multimeter is a device that can measure resistance, voltage, and current. The handheld multimeter included in the Toobox is essential for performing an open circuit voltage and short circuit current test. This tool can help troubleshoot electrical issues within the solar power system.

MC4 Connectors: Each Adapter Kit includes MC4 connectors on the end of each wire. The MC4 Connectors are essential for connecting an array of solar panels, as well as connecting the panels to the charge controller. In the event that any of the MC4 Connectors are damaged, the Toolbox includes extra pieces so they can quickly and easily be repaired. Note that once the male-female sides of the MC4 Connectors have been attached, they are very difficult to separate.

MC4 Tool: The MC4 Tool is made of hard plastic and is designed to assist in disconnecting MC4 Connectors. Since the connection is so tight, they are difficult to properly disconnect without a tool. Improper disconnection may result in damage.

The Multi-Purpose Toolbox is an item that you can be sure to use while installing a Renogy Off-Grid Solar Kit. All of the tools included in the Kit can be also be used for completing other electrical projects. For a limited time, Renogy is offering the Multi-Purpose Toolbox for $59.99, regularly priced $99.99. This sale lasts from 10/27/2016-11/2/2016. Get yours before its too late!

EFLEX.5: Next Generation Mini Solar Panel

About two years ago Renogy released the original EFlex 14W Mini Solar Panel. Perfect for a run around town or a day on a hike, the EFlex was an instant favorite amongst Renogy customers. Some customers described the EFlex as a true “back up” charger, ideal for use when there were no spare batteries or power outlets available. The original EFlex Solar Panel, which is still available for purchase at Renogy.com, folds into a small and easy to store 6.7 x 9.3 x 1.6in square, perfect for small spaces. Since it is a lightweight product (1.3lbs), it can be attached to the exterior of a backpack or purse for convenient charging while out and about. Here at Renogy, we’re always on the move, looking to improve our products. That’s why we’ve introduced the EFLEX.5 to the store inventory.

The EFLEX.5 is a new take on the older, favorite EFlex 14W Solar Panel. The EFLEX.5 is a 5W solar panel that is both waterproof and glass free. Although the EFLEX.5 dimensions are only 10.3 x 6.3 x 0.16in, it utilizes auto-optimization charging to recover reduced power that is caused by shade. Like the original EFlex, the EFLEX.5 is perfect for on the go, convenient charging while away from a power outlet. Unlike the original EFlex, the EFLEX.5 includes two carabiners and four suction cups so the panel can be placed in the sunlight. The suction cups make window charging simple, whether at home, at school, or in a vehicle. For true off-grid charging, use the EFLEX.5 to charge a Drifter or E-GO Battery Bank and then charge your cell phone or other small electronic device!

In sum, if you’re interested in charging your small electronics while away from the grid or just away from home, the EFLEX.5 or original EFlex Solar Panel are great solutions. Also suitable for emergency charging, either of these products are ideal for storing in a safety kit or vehicle. For more information regarding either of these products, visit the following URLs:
