I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that Renogy has released a new 100w Eclipse solar panel. It is basically the same as the (now discontinued) Grape Solar panel. It uses sun power cells.
.
Basically, they fit a 100w solar panel into a 40"x20" frame, instead of their usual 47"x21" frame.
.
This is a huge advantage for expedition vehicles because space is so precious. The downside? Well the panels cost 60% more. It's a luxury item, but efficiency costs money! Anyways, I was really happy to see Renogy release these because since Grape Solar discontinued their sun power panels (due to shortage of cells) there was no other option around. Looks like Renogy has stepped up.
