Renogy Shadow/Flux Solar Panel - First Testing

JamesDow

 
Ordered a Renogy ShadowFlux N-Type Anti-Shading 120W Solar Panel on 11/11/25.
Received two days later and wanted to make sure everything was working and performing as expected.
Purchased directly from Renogy using early Black Friday sale. ($116.99 - Free Shipping)
The ShadowFlux panel incorporates bypass diodes at the panel cell level.  
My usage thoughts would be around home and maybe temporally placed flat on the roof of my tow vehicle when at camp. Using 10 AWG solar cable, I could charge my T@G (100ah), power station (100ah) or my extra lithium100ah battery.
Being on the car rooftop would likely encounter shade more often than on a stand freely allowing placement changes throughout the day. 
 
Briefly tested today (11/15/25).
Heavy overcast and some rain. Occasional sun appearances for very short intervals.
Ran the panel into my homemade power station through a Victron MPPT 100/30 solar charge controller charging a 100ah LiTime lithium trolling motor battery.
Verification of output using the Victron Connect App and Renogy Battery Monitor with Shunt. 
Measured output wattage ranged from 10-watts to 75-watts (average 14-watts with heavy overcast).
Panel was flat for most of the test. 
Shading cut approximately the same percentage as shaded area. Unlike early day panels which just 10% of panel shading could result in nearly a 90% or more drop in output. 
 
Bottom line, for the price, I feel it is a good addition for T@G camping.
I would recommend this 120-watt fixed-frame panel at the price I paid. 
{ Special Note: The Open Circuit Voltage (VOC) is 33.69V which may exceed some cheaper solar controllers, causing them to shut down }
I also purchased ($35) an adjustable tilt mounted bracket which I will attach to the panel for portability and to allow for maximum solar power capture.
