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!

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.
