About this item
- 【Efficient Performance】The 400W Solar Panel Starter Kit will produce an average of 2kWh of electricity per day (Based on 5 hours of direct sunlight condition). The Cell Efficiency can reach 22%. The bypass diode can ensure the panel has an excellent performance in a low-light environment and the TPT back sheet dissipates excess heat to ensure smooth output performance.
- 【Solid Quality】Advanced encapsulation material with multi-layered sheet laminations protects cells from physical damage or distortion, improving cell performance and providing a long service life.
- 【Smart Function】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller is compatible with four different types of batteries: sealed, Gel, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. It also features advanced 4-stage charging (bulk, boost, float, and equalization) to ensure your battery is efficiently and safely charged to 100%.
- 【Full System Protection】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller has built-in protection to safeguard your systems, such as reverse polarity protection, battery overcharging protection, overload protection, and short circuit protection.
- 【Ready to Install】This Renogy 400 Watt Solar Panel Kit includes the equipment necessary for building a new system. The necessary cables, Z-brackets, Solar Y Branch Connectors and pre-drilled holes on the back frame of the panel allow fast and secure mounting.

- I'll let you know if I find a flaw with long term usage
I put hinges between each pair of pannel in case they need to be packed up and moved quickly. THen I put triangular aluminum braces on each side. They are all removable with winged nuts. Golf cart batteries from CostCo.
This configuration allows me to run Fridge, Microwave, TV etc all day, good enough for extended power outtage.
Update: I added an additional 12 panels (total 2200 watts), converted to 2- 24 vdc systems with a total of 16- golf cart batteries (8 each system), installed 2- Aims pure sine wave inverters connected to my home breaker box. I now have enough power to run my house. I can even run a window air conditioner on sunny days. ...and, no power company!
Update: I installed a 400 watt system to power my well.
Update: I added an additional 400 watts to the system on my house. I now have a total of 2600 watts for my house and 400 watts for my well. At this time I don't see the need for any additional panels. What I need now is more batteries.

Took a bit to figure out the wiring connections.
But is all working. Quality and product seems great, especially for this price.
I might get another set to give 800 watts for my trailer.

You'll need a socket set, an adjustable wrench, screwdriver, drill with nut driver for the panel roofing screws.
I am quite handy, but found installation to be quite confusing. I was very surprised not to see instructions provided to install or connect the kit, especially how to attach and connect the panels. There is only one video provided about the charge controller, so you'll need to go looking and do a fair amount of additional research (e.g. Series vs. parallel wiring. Size of controller. Gauge of wires. Size of battery. Size of Inverter.)
I also purchased the Renogy 3000W inverter, which allowed me to connect directly to 14/2 wires in my tiny house and a smaller 50ah LiFePO4 battery as it's not occupied full time. As shown on the picture, I wish I had given myself more slack to connect to the house wiring to install the inverter right-side-up.
Note that the wires from each panel are too short to connect to the provided connector cable when installed in a 1x4 pattern -- as I found out the hard way on my roof. You'll have to buy two additional extension cables to install them in a row. I suppose the kit wires would be sufficient when the panels are connected 2x2, with the wires all faced towards the centre. Again, instructions would have been appreciated.
