3.9 out of 10At 300 W it sits on the 300-399 W rung for a portable panel, so it scores 8 on capacity.
Its 300 W from 2.358 by 0.738 m unfolded, per Renogy's manual, works out to 17.2 percent module efficiency against the 24.8 percent cell efficiency Renogy advertises, so it scores 1 on efficiency.
Renogy's December 2025 warranty schedule gives 5 years to 95 percent and 10 years to 90 percent output, but the product page states a 3-year output warranty, so on the shorter term it scores 1 on lifespan.
