Renogy 400W Solar Blanket review

Renogy 400W N-Type Portable Solar Panel Blanket (RSP400SB)

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.1 / 5

Renogy's 400W blanket folds to 16.5 x 15.8 x 4.1 in and weighs 16.09 lb by the maker's figures, light for its rating. It has an MC4 connector and a 39.2V open-circuit voltage, so check that against your power station's solar input limit before connecting it. Renogy notes that the 400W rating is measured at STC and that real output below 400W is normal.

How this review works
