The Renogy 50 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel is a compact rigid panel designed for small-space installs and starter solar builds. It includes MC4 leads to help you build or expand a solar system, and its smaller footprint makes it easier to place on crowded roofs or in tight mounting areas. Common uses include off-grid battery recharging, tight van roof layouts next to fans, and light-duty applications such as backyard lighting, sprinklers, marine battery charging, and dry camping setups.
This panel is a power generation component only. To charge a battery safely, you typically need a solar charge controller and appropriate wiring and overcurrent protection sized for your system.
Designed to fit in smaller mounting areas, useful when roof space is limited.
It is commonly used for small off-grid setups and battery recharging applications, especially where mounting space is limited.
Yes, it is marketed as a 12-volt panel, but you will typically need a compatible solar charge controller and properly sized wiring and fusing for safe battery charging.
Yes. This panel includes bypass diodes that help minimize power drop caused by shade, but avoiding shade will still improve overall performance.
Yes. Pre-drilled holes on the back of the panel are provided to support faster mounting.
Yes, it is described as ground mount compatible. Use appropriate racking or brackets designed for outdoor use and local wind and snow conditions.
It is described as compatible with on-grid and off-grid inverters. Confirm electrical specifications and string sizing for your specific inverter and system design.
Solar panels are generally low-maintenance. Wash off dirt or residue at least once a year. Remove snow with a snow brush if needed and clear leaves that may collect on the surface.
The junction box is listed as IP65-rated, providing protection against environmental particles and low-pressure water jets.

22 day delivery time. I guess it happens often with USPS going thru L.A. Update. Issues with this order and delivery have been resolved. Thanks for the quick response.
They work pretty good maybe put the long slot on both sides.
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!
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.

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! - Orion Van Gear Team
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.
The perfect fit onto truck Northern Lite camper roof to join its identical solar panels. Good to have these still available. Thanks!
I'm excited to start using this panel in my off grid system I'm building. I have a truck tool box I have 3 lifepo4 100ah batteries and a victron 100-50 charge controller. 3000watt power inverter. I will have 120 and 12 volt out puts. and all the wiring and fuses and switches I need for my build. This panel I will mount to the top of the box. Only thing I could gripe about is the corners of the panel are very sharp and a concern about cutting myself is the only thing I can complain about but that's not really a issue. Kinda wish the panel would at least have came with basic mounting hardware. It ships with just the panel and nothing else not even a spec sheet. Over all I'm happy to complete my project using this high quality panel.
Thanks for the review, and glad the panel is a good fit for your off grid build, that sounds like a solid setup. Good callout on the corners. They’re aluminum and can feel sharp out of the box, so we always recommend handling with gloves during install. On the specs, they’re on the sticker on the back of the panel.
Orion Van Gear is an amazing small business! I had 1 solar panel arrive shattered and reported it to the carrier and Orion. Orion apologized and sent me a replacement the next business day. They even coordinated the claim with the carrier.
I am impressed with their customer service. Not once did I get the run-around and they kept me abreast of every action to resolve the mishap.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Even when shipping issues happen, our goal is always to make things right quickly and keep you updated every step of the way. We’re glad everything worked out and truly appreciate your support!
Installed these on the 1010 cross rails on my Sprinter Orion Rack. They work like a charm: very easy to adjust, allow easy panel removal, and are strong and nicely finished. Good stuff!
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing our product. Have a fantastic day!
Replaced my current panels on my Revel and was able to free up nearly a foot of space. This allowed me to mount my starlink much easier.
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.
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. - OVG
supper product I had been looking for a crossbar rack system for my van's roof rack for more than a year, and this is perfect I did have to enlarge the holes on the foot piece of the cross bar to 11/32 to fit my roof rack hex bolts for mounting, easy peezy
I just finished the install of the MaxxFan Deluxe, replacing a stock vent fan in our new Class C MH. Following the written (and online ‘how to’ videos) guidance, the install was straightforward. Most of the 3.5 hour job was spent cleaning off the old lap sealant in preparation for the new fan.
Fan works well in all functions. Thank you MaxxAir for a good product and thank you Orion for a great sales price!

So quiet. Easy to install. We received the wrong item from Orion (black interior control panel vs white) We contacted them via email and they immediately gave us several options to make it right. The fan works great and the customer service Orion provides is top notch.
Hi Jamye, Sorry about the mix-up with the interior panel, but we're glad we could resolve it quickly. Thanks for your kind words and video! Its a slick fan!
Amazing product so far. Big pro is it's low draw on my jacket 600v. 4 days of use and the battery percentage is still at 70%. Convenience of the remote being able to be used from anywhere. The noise level is very low at 40-50% fan power. I chose this unit instead of maxxair because it matched my van aesthetically and it's very low profile that i'm still able to park inside my work's parking structure. The con was during installation, this unit did not come with a sleeve that bridges the gap from the headliner to the fan itself. It did not sit flush and the manual **** that pushes up the metal rod(the longest one) does not reach because of it. I have to rely on the remote. Very good purchase and it's perfect for what i use it for.
We’re glad to hear the NomadicArk fan has been working well for your setup, especially the low power draw, quiet operation, remote control, and low-profile fit for parking structures.
One note on the install: the AirPlus is designed differently than a MaxxFan and does not use or include an interior sleeve. The fan is rated for a maximum roof thickness of about 3 1/8'. By comparison, a MaxxFan 7500K includes a sleeve-style interior garnish that can accommodate a thicker roof/headliner stack, up to about 6'.
Thanks again for the feedback, and we’re happy it ended up being a great fit for your van.
Orion Van Gear offered the best pricing on my two new MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe fans and they arrive SO fast. The install on our our 5th wheel went exceptionally well. Thank you for the great experiences.
