Renogy portable solar panels in the UK, compared (2026)
Renogy sells more kinds of portable solar panel in the UK than most brands, and they suit different jobs: a 30W folding panel for phones, rigid suitcases and fabric blankets from 100W to 400W for a power station, and two suitcase kits with a charge controller fitted for a caravan's 12V leisure battery. This page compares the nine Renogy panels we list on rated output, weight, weatherproofing and warranty, from Renogy's own UK product pages, and says which suits which power station. Renogy's panels aren't made for one brand of power station, so the plug and voltage are the first things to check.

Our verdictOur verdictResearched 400W in a fabric blanket that weighs 7.3 kg and folds to a 420 mm square; Renogy's own 400W suitcase, the one in its home backup kits, weighs 13.7 kg. Opened out it is 1.65 by 1.6 metres, so it needs a clear patch of lawn or a car roof. Its 39.2V open-circuit voltage suits power stations that take 12 to 60V of solar, as BLUETTI's Elite 400 does, but check yours first. It is worth it only for a power station that can take 400W of solar; Renogy UK gives it no waterproof rating and a 2-year prorated warranty.

Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if your power station can't take 400W of solar, or its solar input stops below 40V: a 200W panel suits it for less. | |||||

Our verdictOur verdictResearched A rigid suitcase panel rather than a fabric one: IP67 on Renogy UK's page, rust-resistant kickstands and a 3-year materials and workmanship warranty. At 6.5 kg it is lighter than BLUETTI's 8.1 kg PV200D, and at £219.99 it costs well under its £349.

Our verdictOur verdictResearched A fabric blanket that folds to the size of a backpack and, unusually at 200W, has USB sockets on the panel itself: one USB-C at up to 45W and two USB-A at up to 18W, so phones can charge in the sun with no power station at all. At 4 kg it is lighter than Renogy's 6.3 kg E.FLEX 200W folding panel, for £10 more. Renogy UK gives it no waterproof rating, so bring it in when it rains, and check its 19.6V open-circuit voltage and plug against your power station's solar input.

Our verdictOur verdictResearched Twice the panel of the 100W kit for £50 more, with the same fitted Voyager 20A PWM controller and fused alligator-clip cable for a 12V battery. The tempered-glass front is tougher than a fabric panel, but it makes the suitcase heavy at 12.9 kg. Renogy's estimate of about 1kWh a day assumes five hours of full sun, so expect much less in a British winter. Best for More charge for a leisure battery on longer stays off hook-up Good

Our verdictOur verdictResearched Renogy's biggest suitcase panel: 400W rated, 13.7 kg, and £399.99 at Renogy UK on 1 November 2026, about £1 a watt, level with its 220W suitcase. Its open-circuit voltage is 47.2V, higher than smaller panels, so check your power station's solar input range before you buy. As with any panel, the rated figure is a lab figure: a grey UK day gives a fraction of it. Best for The most solar from one suitcase, for a large power station Good
Worth knowing
Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if your power station takes less than about 400W of solar, or its maximum solar input voltage isn't comfortably above 47.2V: the 220W suitcase suits it better and is far easier to carry. | |||||

Our verdictOur verdictResearched Made for a 12V leisure battery rather than a power station: Renogy fits a Voyager 20A PWM charge controller to the back and includes a cable with alligator clips and a 15A fuse, so it clips straight on to the battery. That is the set-up the Camping and Caravanning Club describes, a panel fed through a regulator so it can't overcharge the battery. The Club says the more advanced MPPT controllers do better in winter and on cloudy days; this one is PWM. At 7.9 kg it is nearly twice the weight of Renogy's 100W lightweight suitcase.

Our verdictOur verdictResearched The lightest way into Renogy's suitcase panels: 100W, 4.02 kg and the range's 3-year warranty for £119.99. It is a slow top-up for a big power station, but the right size for a smaller one. Check the plug against your power station first: Renogy UK's page doesn't name it.

Our verdictOur verdictResearched A light folding 30W panel with two USB sockets and a DC output, IP67 on Renogy's page. Renogy says it is for low-power devices such as phones and tablets, and that's the honest use: in a long power cut it keeps phones and a power bank going while it's light.

Before you buy
Match the panel to the job.
The 30W folding panel charges phones and a power bank from its USB sockets. The 100W to 400W suitcases, the E.FLEX 200W folding panel and the 200W and 400W blankets are for a power station. The 100W and 200W 12V suitcase kits have a Voyager 20A PWM charge controller fitted and fused alligator-clip cables, made to clip onto a 12V leisure battery, not a power station.
Size it to your power station's solar input.
There's no gain in a 400W panel on a station that takes 200W of solar, and a small panel on a big station is a slow top-up. Check two figures in your station's manual: its maximum solar watts, and its input voltage range. Renogy gives open-circuit voltages of 19.6V for the 200W blanket, 39.2V for the 400W blanket and 47.2V for the 400W suitcase.
Suitcase or blanket.
The rigid suitcases are tougher, and Renogy UK gives IP67 for the 100W and 220W; the 220W suitcase weighs 6.5kg. The fabric blankets are lighter for their output: the 400W blanket is 7.3kg against 13.7kg for the 400W suitcase. But Renogy UK gives the blankets no waterproof rating, so bring them in when it rains. The 200W blanket also has USB sockets on the panel, so it can charge phones with no power station at all.
Warranty.
Renogy UK gives a 3-year materials and workmanship warranty on the 220W and 400W suitcases, and a 2-year prorated warranty on the 400W blanket. Check the warranty line on the product page for the exact model before you buy.
Using it safely.
Set the panel up on stable ground or a car roof, angled to the sun, and keep cables where no one trips on them. Keep the power station itself dry and out of the rain; only the panel goes outside. A 12V kit's controller stops the leisure battery overcharging; never connect a panel straight to a battery without one.
We verify every product's specifications against at least two independent sources, re-check its UK price and stock on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and cross-check safety-relevant claims against official guidance. Every review is labelled Researched or Used and reviewed by us: where we've bought a product, or been sent it free, and used it ourselves, its review says which; where we haven't, our verdict is a considered spec-and-evidence comparison, not a hands-on test.

Common questions
Which Renogy solar panel should I buy?
For most power stations, the 220W suitcase: IP67, a 3-year warranty and 6.5kg. For the most solar you can carry for a big power station, the 400W blanket at 7.3kg, if your station takes 400W of solar and copes with its 39.2V. For phones only, the 30W panel. For a caravan or campervan leisure battery, one of the 12V suitcase kits.
Will a Renogy panel work with my BLUETTI, EcoFlow or Jackery?
Usually, if the plug, the wattage and the voltage match. Renogy UK's pages don't name the output plug on most of these panels, so check it against your power station's solar input and buy the right adapter cable if needed. Then check the panel's open-circuit voltage sits inside your station's solar input range.
How much will a solar panel produce in the UK?
Much less than the label. The rated figure assumes bright, direct sun at the right angle. On an overcast British day you might see a fraction of it, and winter days are short. Renogy's own estimate of about 1kWh a day for its 200W kit assumes five hours of full sun, which a British winter rarely gives.
What are Renogy's 12V suitcase kits for?
Charging a 12V leisure battery, such as a caravan's or campervan's, off hook-up. They have a Voyager 20A PWM charge controller fitted and come with a fused cable and alligator clips for the battery. They aren't the right choice for a portable power station: the lightweight suitcases do that job at less weight.
Are Renogy panels waterproof?
Some are rated. Renogy UK gives IP67 for the 30W panel and the 100W and 220W suitcases. Its pages give no waterproof rating for the 200W and 400W blankets, the E.FLEX 200W, the 400W suitcase or the 12V kits, so bring those in when it rains. In all cases, only the panel goes outside, never the power station.
