FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
1. What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system?
To complete an off-grid solar system, you need a solar panel, a charge controller to regulate the current, and a battery to store power. Additionally, adapter kit cables are necessary to connect the solar panel to the charge controller and a deep-cycle battery.
2. What is the difference between off-grid and on-grid systems?
On-grid systems are connected to the electrical grid, allowing you to use solar power and sell excess energy back to the grid. Off-grid systems are independent from the grid and store power for later use, making them immune to grid blackouts.
3. Why is my solar panel underproducing?
Several environmental factors can impact solar panel performance, including indirect sunlight, high temperatures, cloudy skies, and dirt or stains on the panel’s surface.
4. How should I connect solar panels in my electrical circuit: series or parallel?
Connecting panels in series increases the voltage to meet system requirements, while connecting in parallel maintains voltage but increases current. Choose the setup based on your power needs, or combine both for optimized output and system rating.
5. How many solar panels do I need?
The number of panels depends on your power requirements, measured in watt-hours. Calculate your daily power needs, factor in the hours of operation, and multiply by a safety factor of 1.5 to 2 to determine the required wattage. This will help you decide on the number of panels needed.
6. What are the benefits of using bifacial solar panels?
Bifacial panels capture sunlight from both sides, providing more power and efficiency compared to monofacial panels. They perform better in overcast conditions and offer flexible installation in various orientations.
7. What does 12V mean in the product title, and how is it different from the panel’s voltage?
The "12V" in the title indicates that the panel is suitable for 12V battery systems. This is different from the panel’s actual voltage rating (e.g., VOC or VMP), which defines its electrical characteristics. This label helps customers choose the right panel for their system requirements.
Customer Reviews
After Hurricane Milton, I was without power for five days. No amount of cleaning would get my two gas generators working again. These panels provide great power to my Jackery 1000 v2. Currently set up to deliver power through the Jacker to my desktop Ham radio station. Pulling terrific wattage, loom great, outstanding product.
Ted, We are so glad to hear that it help you after Hurricane Milton! Thank you for choosing Orion for your solar needs. Stay safe and stay powered!
Installed on a 118 WB promaster cargo, paired with the Orion stealth roof rack, and the flush mount brackets, for a near seamless finished look. 2x of these is the perfect fit for 500w of solar, powering my goal zero 1500x is more then enough to keep a charge on all my tools, run my portable goal zero atla 50 fridge/freezer, and still have plenty of power to spare.
We're thrilled to hear that the setup with our Orion Stealth Roof Rack and flush mount brackets is working perfectly for you. It sounds like you've created an incredibly efficient and seamless solar solution for your Promaster. If you ever need anything else, we're here to help. Happy adventuring!
These are perfect for a flush mount for my solar panels with the Aluminess DIY roof rack system! I’m able to fit an AC, (2) solar panels, and a Maxair Fan on a 144 roof.
I’m very pleased with the performance of this set up. My van was in deep shade until after 9 AM this morning and I still captured almost 100 AH. Boondocking game changer!
What a well engineered kit to add an extra 350 watts to my Solis Pocket roof plus a few more from part of my old solar panels exposure. They couldn’t have made adding solar any easier. Well done!
We're thrilled to hear that our Solis Pocket 350 Watt Solar Upgrade Kit was able to double your solar power output. We pride ourselves on providing well-engineered and user-friendly products, so we're glad to know that the installation process was easy for you. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of renewable energy. Happy solar-ing!
While the stock 170W panel is enough to keep your house batteries topped up in good conditions w/ the just the fridge on while the van is parked in the driveway, it will not keep up with active use while boondocking for multiple days. With this set up I have been able to park and live/work in my Pocket 36A for 5 days (running fridge, Truma heater, lights, audio equipment, laptop, phone, WeBoost) in mixed wether without my house batteries becoming a concern. In light of other options that would allow me this flexibility, this package got me there very easily and relatively inexpensively in that I had already added the rack to mount my ladder, Fiamma 45s awning, and WeBoost Drive Reach overland antenna. The folks at Orion have been great to work with all along the way… quality products backed by top shelf customer service. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are thrilled to hear that our Solis Pocket 350 Watt Solar Upgrade Kit has been a game changer for you. It's great to know that you have been able to comfortably live and work in your van for multiple days without worrying about your house batteries. We take pride in providing quality products and excellent customer service, and we're happy to have been able to help you with your set up. Thank you for choosing Orion and happy travels!
Well designed and crafted, made adding solar panels to our Orion Stealth rack a breeze.
Love these! Well made, and super plug and play with our Orion Stealth Rack. The added capture capacity is a game changer for extended boondocking. Wish I had room for two more!
Greg, Thanks for the stellar review! We're thrilled they've been a perfect match for your Orion Stealth Rack and have elevated your Solis Pocket boondocking experiences. Happy adventures!

This review is for Orion...because for Renogy you can put the minus sign and add the nubmer you want...it was awful dealing with Renogy. Orion custumer service was excellent, as Renogy sent many times the wrong panels, despite them telling the right size all the time, they still had worse understanding than a donkey, and sent all over again the wrong ones. I was already tired of going back to fedex with the returning ones, in a time that my health has not been the best.
Thank you Orion.
Whew! Glad we got through that one! We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with receiving the wrong panels multiple times. To give context this customer wanted the older G2 version of this panel and Renogy kept sending the newer G3 version. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when your health is not at its best. We are glad that our customer service team at Orion was able to assist you and provide excellent service - and finally get the corretc panel that you needed.

Product worked absolutely perfectly as most impressed with the stainless steel hardware that fit exactly into my pro rack. I thought I was gonna have to make something but it was a perfect fit.
