Renogy N-Type Lightweight Portable Solar Panel Suitcase

The Renogy N-Type Lightweight Portable Solar Panel Suitcase is a foldable, field-ready solar panel built for overlanders, van lifers, RV users, and campers who need reliable off-grid charging without a permanent roof mount. N-type cells deliver 24.80% cell efficiency, and an IP67 weather resistance rating protects the panel in demanding outdoor conditions. The suitcase is available in 100W and 300W configurations.

High Cell Efficiency in a Compact, Lightweight Frame

N-type solar cells achieve 24.80% cell efficiency, which means the Renogy N-Type Suitcase produces more power per unit of surface area than conventional polycrystalline or standard monocrystalline panels. For an overlander or camper working with limited space on a vehicle roof or campsite, that efficiency translates directly into a smaller, lighter panel that still meets meaningful charging demands. The 100W version weighs 8.86 lb and folds to 523 × 625 × 40 mm; the 300W version weighs 18.74 lb and folds to 588 × 745 × 80 mm. Both fold to dimensions that fit in a truck bed, cargo area, or trailer without consuming the space a rigid panel would.

Built to Stay in the Field

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase uses a fiberglass panel construction reinforced with an ETFE coating and corner protection at each edge. Fiberglass resists flex and impact better than aluminum-framed panels in transport, and ETFE adds a weather-resistant outer layer that holds up against UV exposure and light hail. The IP67 rating means the panel is dust-tight and can withstand water immersion up to one meter, a threshold that covers rain, stream crossings, and muddy campsites where a panel left out overnight faces real exposure. Robust kickstands hold the panel at a working angle on uneven ground without requiring a separate mounting fixture.

Flexible Deployment for Existing and New Systems

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase connects directly to a compatible portable power station for plug-and-play charging, and two panels can be wired in parallel to increase current output for higher-demand scenarios. The panel also connects to a charge controller as part of a larger off-grid system. Both variants share a 600VDC maximum system voltage and a 15A maximum series fuse rating, which determines how they can be integrated into a series or parallel array. Users should confirm that their power station or charge controller's solar input voltage range is compatible with the panel's output before connecting.

Features

• N-type cells, 24.80% cell efficiency: high output relative to panel size and weight across both variants
• IP67 weather resistance: dust-tight and water-immersion rated for outdoor deployment
• Fiberglass construction with ETFE coating: impact-resistant body with UV- and weather-resistant outer layer
• Corner protection: reinforced edges for durability in transport and field use
• Robust kickstands: hold the panel at a working angle on uneven terrain without a separate mount
• Parallel-connection capable: two panels can be wired in parallel to increase current output

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase suits overlanders, van lifers, RV users, and campers who need a portable, ground-deployable solar panel that can charge a portable power station or feed into a charge-controller-based off-grid system. The IP67 rating and fiberglass construction make it appropriate for extended outdoor exposure in rain, dust, and variable terrain.

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase is not designed for permanent rooftop or on-grid installation. No charge controller, adapter cables, or portable power station is included; those components are sold separately. Before connecting this panel to any power station, users must confirm that the power station's solar DC input voltage range is compatible with the panel's output voltage.

Common Questions

Does the Renogy N-Type Suitcase include a charge controller or cables?

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase ships as a solar panel only. No charge controller, adapter kit cables, or tray cables are included. A charge controller is required to regulate current into a battery bank, and adapter cables are needed to connect the panel to a controller or power station. These components are sold separately.

Can I connect two of these panels together for more power?

Two Renogy N-Type Suitcase panels can be wired in parallel to increase current output for higher-demand charging scenarios. When connecting panels in parallel, the system current output adds up while the voltage stays the same as a single panel. Users should verify that their charge controller or power station can handle the combined current before connecting.

What does IP67 mean for a solar panel used outdoors?

An IP67 rating means the Renogy N-Type Suitcase is fully dust-tight and rated to withstand water immersion up to one meter. In practical outdoor use, this covers rain exposure, splashing from stream crossings, and muddy or dusty environments common on overlanding trips and extended camping.

Will this panel work with my portable power station?

The Renogy N-Type Suitcase is compatible with most portable power stations, but users must verify that the power station's solar DC input voltage range matches the panel's output. The 100W variant has a Voc of 21.6V and Vmp of 18.7V; the 300W variant has a Voc of 30.03V and Vmp of 25.2V. Check the power station's specifications before connecting.

What is the difference between the 100W and 300W versions?

Both versions of the Renogy N-Type Suitcase use the same N-type cells at 24.80% cell efficiency and share the same IP67 rating, fiberglass construction, and ETFE coating. The 300W panel produces three times the power output, is larger unfolded (2358 × 745 mm vs. 1048 × 625 mm), and weighs 18.74 lb compared to 8.86 lb for the 100W. The output voltages also differ, so users should check compatibility with their system before choosing a variant.
