Which brand solar panels to buy

Post by Coupey » Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:55 pm

Hello,
I have just joined the group and looking forward to meeting all the like minded people with camper trailers in the future at some of the events.
My partner and I just purchased our first camper trailer (Camptime hard floor 2014 model)
It is in good condition but didn't come with off grid solar panel and battery setup.
I have a Waeco fridge and led lights which we will run off it on our camping trips.
Doing alot of research including tips off the ACG forums which are great
I have decided to buy a Ritar 12V 120 amp AGM battery and hook it up with a folding 200W solar panel with a MMPT (20A) controller.
Has anyone bought or used the Renogy 200Watt folding briefcase panels and can provide feedback ?
They look pretty good from reviews compared to some other brands on the market.
Open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Coupey

I bought 2 x 200 watt Renogypanels. They are great. Tested both and both gave 10.5 amps through a Victron MPPT solar reg. I,ve had many various brands. These are doing as advertised....many do not!!
