Easy installation.
Ever since we disconnected from the piedestall and have only used solar power. I did not expect to be able to do that here in Oregon. But our batteries get fully charges every day and during the day we discharge To 40 - 50%, BUT IN THE AFTERNOON WE REACH 100% again. It has been like that even on rainy days. We can run lights, fans, water pump, tv, charging for PC, Phones and Ipads. All this on 400W solar system. I'm very possitive surprised by this.
The panels were easy to install. I was able to I stall them while camping. I used the drill method so I did use plenty of the dicor lap sealant to seal up the holes. The panels themselves seem pretty sturdy.
What I didn't like with the kit.
I made a terrible assumption that this kit had everything I needed. This coupled with installing it while camping made for a mess. You will likely need additional mc4 extension cables if you get 4 panels. You will not be able to hook up all of them unless you can orient your panels in one specific way. This meant that I operated on only 2 of the 4 panels that were installed. I essentially missed out on half my power because of a $10 cable that I would have happily paid for.
I cannot blame Renogy for the pwm controller. I needed to have done better research before hitting the buy button. You will likely want a mppt controller instead of the pwm if you need to maximize your power generation. I discovered this after the kit arrived so I ended up buying their mppt controller and have a pwm just sitting. I think a little more guidance in their description would have been helpful.
I didn't have any problems connecting the Bluetooth app but I do have some grievances. It does disconnect but doesn't give you an indication that it has disconnected. This can lead to you thinking you have more battery power than you actually have because it might display old data. This led to me randomly killing the app and reconnecting whenever I was suspicious. Everytime I reconnect I have to go into the app and tell it that I have a lithium battery. It always resets to flooded. I think this changes the charging profile and makes it less efficient for my battery. This raises a concern for me. If the mppt is not resetting when ot disconnects why is that setting changing just because the app disconnected? The app also doesn't autoconnect. It would be better if the system on launch attempted to reconnect to its known devices or the last device it connected to.
I don't quite agree that the Bluetooth app is useless. It is certainly frustrating but I would still want to have it to know the state of solar charging. I thought I would go without the battery monitor since the bt-module provides some information. It is not accurate enough for my needs and I found it unreliable. I ended up draining the battery enough for it to go into protection mode. This also meant that i had to run out and buy a lithium aware battery charger to charge it enough to get it out of protection mode so that I can use my generator to charge it. Purchasing that took about 2 hours since the closest place was 2 towns away from Banff. The mppt charger has the ability to take out of protection mode but since I was in a shaded area and only running on half my solar power....
I have ordered the smart battery module since I did also buy a renogy lifepo battery.
Overall it seems they make a good panel but if I were doing it over again, I would probably chose a different vendor for the rest of the components.
Leaving the following in parentheses more as a warning. They do have a learn section which i missed. It is good. (Renogy, if you read this, I think it would be worth your time to put together some tutorials on your site.) I deleted my comment on their customer service because I did not have a big interaction with them. I had a pre-sales interaction where they provided very little information compared with the other vendor I reached out to. I ended up chosing Renogy because the other vendor was more distributor centric than customer centric.
Symbols + n -. Also the Battery Charger Box had No Markings to know where the wires go. I printed out the Pic on Amazon n it shows pictures backwards for wires on Charger Box.
