Of all of the Solar Panels I have reviewed, these are by far the best. The efficiency of these Renogy 550W bifacial panels is unparalleled. Even in partial shade, they perform very well. I may buy more of these to make a big off-grid array for some new rural property I just bought. Time will tell.

I have a 550w solar panel that gives me 450w bought new for 180dlls and to buy one of these for 800bucks don't really see the benefit at that price. Great video as always love em.

I have 6 zshine 550 bifacials. They have clear glass on the back. Your panel's specs are pretty good and the testing show good output on your panels. Mine are factory seconds and have minor problems, but generally I can get 350 watts on them with no bifacials input. I use them on my rv over lander and when not using the over lander microinverters help power my home. 400 plus watts are excellent numbers as my nmot ratings are basically 400 for unblemished panels.

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

Good deal if you can find ones with slight defects that are cheap but still get the job done.

Renolgy seems to be upping their game quite a bit. I know their early controllers were garbage. But 2 of these mounted as a hard bimini could really pump out some power with the reflected light from the water. I still worry about the quality, especially around salt water. Perhaps hooked up to a nice Victron controller.

@Bowmans-Woods 2 месяца назад

Salt water is hard on anything. It certainly wont last as long splashing around in salty sea spray as it would on a structure in the backyard of your off grid home but I am sure it would still last a fair bit longer than soft panels would.

@sailinglakeclark 3 месяца назад

Im glad you reviewed them so highly. I purchased 4x of them and I am getting ready to install on our boat with 4x of their Rego batteries. Ill have 2 on the coach roof so not any benifit to bifacial but 2x hanging off the back, so will be interesting to see the % difference between those with the bottom open to reflection and thosr that dont.

You purchased 4 of these for your boat? Jeeez, how big is your boat? These things are massive.

@nascar427 3 месяца назад

Great review. I have seen where they have mirrors chase the sun and point back to fixed panels.

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

Thanks. There are some sun tracking mounts you can buy that will turn the panels to get the most out of the sun but that can be very expensive and it makes you wonder if the expense of the high tech mount pays for itself or if it is just cheaper to get more panels just mounted in the most effective direction so that you can fill your battery bank that way instead. Hard to know.

@nascar427 3 месяца назад

There is a term to have mirrors track the sun and point back to fixed panels. It can be done cheaply. I will look it up later.

@DM-fv7hw 3 месяца назад

Nice, these would be great ground-mount panels. After our last spring storm, I would not put solar on a roof, here. Almost everyone had a roof claim with their insurance and those with solar had the added expense of removing solar panels to fix a roof. It jacked up our rates considerably.

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

I would always try and ground mount Panels as that way you can clean them off and service them easier if there is ever an issue. Some people though dont have the land beside their house so in that case they sort of have to mount them on a roof, but in that case I would not bother with bifacial and get the cheaper 1 sided solar panels.

@@Bowmans-Woods My 465 bi panels have produced 569 watts, 8370 array record was 9514 watts I have a vid on a cheap ground mount made from 2x4 ,also with a forklift you could move your panels into a barn for hail or tornados

I have 465watt panels, max out at 569 watts, cloudy days 105 watts, vertical mount with snow cover. My 8370watts has peaked at 9500 so I am content with these panels, still going to add more 18 to 28 panels, might be enough to keep the generator from running next year. I might try convex mirrors this year see if I can get morning boost. solar online has 550's for $230 each cad.

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. Always deals to be found it you know what you want and are patient and wait for the sales

@nascar427 3 месяца назад

What if you also put mirrors on the ground for upping the bounce back effect.

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

If you could mount them over a bight surface that would help. Not sure about mirrors as I am sure they would need cleaning an maintenance and would cost a fair bit but White gravel under it would be an good option IMO as the gravel would also stop grass and weeds from growing under it. That is why I mounted mine on a deck so I dont have to deal with the grass.

@clicktodhruv 23 дня назад

Wopping $1200 for just 2 panels?? I am assuming its an old price as the prices got slashed heavily in past 1-2 months. Its just $240 per 2x550 Watts bifacial in India.

"Rural property" I thought WE were buying a sail-away boat🤔

@Bowmans-Woods 3 месяца назад

Ya, that was the plan until WWIII seems to be just around the corner every day now. Not going to spend my life savings on a sailboat to only be half way around the world when some War breaks out and I have to try and race to an airport to get home before I am incarcerated for being a "Spy" and have to leave the boat behind. Plans change with when the situation does. Its just not safe to be a world sailor now. Unless leaving a $1M+ dollar boat behind doesn't bother you. :-)

You win , that is the most overpriced panels I have ever seen . Even the best panels on the planet (SunPower) aren't that high . A high quality (much higher quality than renogy) panel can be had for 250.00 each .
