Compare Two Flexible Panels

[xyzHollyxyz]

Yesterday, I bought a 2nd flex panel off Ebay with these exact Renogy specs for $187. Several hours later, this Solar Blvd panel for $119 was brought to my attention.

Would the $119 panel have been compatible with my Renogy panel.

How do the two panels compare - all those numbers are greek to me (I'm just trying to keep my fridge running on propane while boondocking).

Thanks for you help. Also, I noted that the Solar Blvd panel has S-S connectors? Never heard of them.

Maybe S-S is stainless due to weather?

Don't overlook shipping costs from SB, panels are expensive to ship due to their size.

This summer SB is planning to open a location in TN, but haven't heard the dates yet.

You asked this already. 12V panels are all compatible in parallel. Flexibility is not important here. But you will (probably) lose a little of wattage because voltages are slightly different.

120W panel from Solar Blvd is better because of more watts for less money.
It does say "1.4 meters of flex fitted with S-S connectors" - this doesn't tell me anything. It also says MC4 cables.

Send Renogy back to Ebay. You don't have to use Renogy panels just because you already have Renogy controller 🙂

Assuming you are running a PWM controller the Solar Blvd is a way better and compatible panel at a better price. Says MC4 connectors on the site.
