Renogy 400 Watt Lightweight Solar Suitcase - Setup, Demo and Power Tests

Over the last 10 years, we have embraced camping off-grid, using mainly solar power to recharge our RV/Boat batteries. During that time, I have purchased and installed seven 100-watt Renogy solar panels and a 40-amp Renogy DC-DC Charger. All the items have performed well, with some in constant use for 10 years.

So, I was pleased when Renogy contacted me to offer items for my review. They offered several items, but I was keen to review their new-to-market 400-watt portable solar suitcase. Being 400 watts and compact/lightweight, I thought it most interested my audience. I haven't seen one quite like it before. It's a foldable (ETFE-coated) panel design with rigid, lightweight frames and fiberglass backing. Each of the four-panel segments has its own metal kickstand. Magnets in the corners help keep it together when folded.

As a bonus, it includes a canvas storage bag with a large pocket for cables and accessories. Folded dimensions are 27.9*33.7*3.2in Unfolded: 111.8x33.7 x0.8 in Weight:30.2 lbs. They advertise it as highly durable. IP67 waterproof with a 5-year warranty.

In this first of two planned videos, I unpack, set up, and demonstrate this portable solar panel. I test its open-circuit voltage, short-circuit amperage, and output wattage in several real-world scenarios. The panel performed beyond my expectations, peaking at 444 watts!
I'm looking forward to using it in the next few months, camping in our RV, and cruising on our live-aboard boat. Stay tuned, and I will return with my complete review after using it for a longer term.
