General Information The Renogy Solar Suitcases combines 2 highly efficient 50W monocrystalline solar panels. This system is specifically designed for mobile off-grid applications, where space and weight limitations are abundant. The Solar Suitcase models support 12V deep cycle battery varieties such as sealed, lead acid, gel, and flooded. With built-in tilting stands, these panels can be adjusted at different angles to maximize the power output throughout the seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions Q. What type of batteries can be used with this kit? A. Any sealed lead acid, gel, or flooded 12V battery (typically used in caravans, motorhomes, boats etc.) is appropriate for use with this kit. Q. Can this kit charge a 24V battery? A. No, because this kit is designed to charge a 12V battery. Technically, itβs possible to change solar panel connections to enable the kit to work in 24V mode; however, a qualified, knowledgeable individual should only do this.
A. Yes, itβs possible β please choose the same size of cable for extension. However, there longer the extension, the greater the line loss. Bigger gauge will be required for longer runs. Q. Do I need to clean the solar panels? A. Yes, it is recommended for better performance. Dust and dirt should first be swept off the panel surface using a soft brush. When the sweeping is complete, use a wet cloth to wipe the panel surface to remove remaining dirt and grime. Q. Can rain damage the solar kit? A.
