Renogy 550W Bifacial Panels. The best panels I have ever tested. Perfect for an off grid setup.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Wonder if I could fit 4 of these on my 7x16 ft enclosed trailer/toy hauler/camper. Would be insane to have that much power off the grid.

Put 4 of those on the EG4 BrightMount (Ground mount) I have mine raised up 3 feet off the ground with 6x6 posts

The panels you have in this video are not bifacial The backs of them are white and there's a sticker on the back

[bobmonztr]

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.

Are you sure those are bifacial? I only ask because my limited experience with them has always had the back of the panels be transparent (uncoated). Those appear to be coated. Either way, the price per watt even for 4 months ago is terrible. You can still get 10 bi-facials (granted they are Chinese made) at around 400W each with potential of up to 500w for around 1300 after tax (4Kwh or 3x for nearly the same price).

[meilyn]

Renogy is basically stealing at this point at that price.

[nascar]

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

[chris_mksupra]

1200 usd for 2 panel? it's a joke?

[madmatts]

Bro these ain't bifacial. They sell conventional 550s and 550 bifacials. They sent you the wrong ones.

[danchesney]

Those don't appear to be bifacial. Bifacial panels would have a clear backing & no stickers

[onthelake]

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 .

[clicktodhruv]

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🤔

[michaelgkellygreen]

Those are not bi-facial panels. They have a white background. Also they are way overpriced.
