Overview
This is Renogy's 200 W flexible panel: 72 half-cut monocrystalline cells laid out in an 18 by 4 grid, laminated between an ETFE front and a plastic back at roughly 3 mm thick, so it conforms to the curved roof of a van, camper or boat where a rigid panel cannot sit flat. Peak power is 200 W at STC with Voc 23.9 V, Vmp 20.1 V, Isc 10.74 A and Imp 10.02 A. Module efficiency is a published 16.7%, materially higher than the 100W Flexible's 14.9%, which Renogy attributes to the half-cut cell design and bypass diodes that also improve resistance to hotspots and partial shading. At 4.9 kg it is roughly half the weight of a comparable rigid 200 W mono panel. Output is MC4 via a 12 AWG cable, the junction box is IP68 and the solar connectors are IP67, and no charge controller is included: this is a raw component that feeds an external controller, which then feeds the battery. Maximum system voltage is 600 V DC and the panel is rated from -40 to 80 C.
Variant note: Current 200W 12V Flexible Monocrystalline (SKU RNG-200DB-72). Distinct from Renogy's 50W and 100W flexible variants (separate product pages, different spec tables), from the rigid 200W monocrystalline (RSP200DB-72 family), from the E.Flex 200W portable panel (RPP200EF-SE, a JS-hydrated page), and from the 200W N-Type high-efficiency panel.
Data note: All figures taken from Renogy's published Specifications block on 2026-08-10 (SKU RNG-200DB-72). Cell layout stated as 72 (18 x 4) half-cut monocrystalline cells of 6.5 x 3.3 in. Dimensions given as 1605 x 748 x 3 mm (63.2 x 29.4 x 0.1 in). Cable length converted from Renogy's stated 12 AWG 2.3 ft output cable (~0.7 m). The IP string is the manufacturer's exact statement: the panel body has NO separate IP rating, only the junction box (IP68) and solar connectors (IP67). Warranty: Renogy states a 5-year 90% output performance warranty for this panel, which is shorter than the 100W Flexible's tiered 25-year performance warranty; warrantyYears records the 5-year term. No PERC claim is made because the page does not state one for this model, only half-cut cell technology. outputConnector recorded as MC4 per Renogy's whole-line convention (the spec block names 'Solar Connectors: IP67' and a 12 AWG output cable but not the connector brand explicitly).
Specifications
Rated power, cell type, form factor, connector and weight come from official manufacturer sources; the exact claims and links are in the provenance table. Electrical characteristics and cell efficiency are recorded only where a numeric figure is published, and compatibility with any particular power station is recorded only where the manufacturer states it. A connector type is not a compatibility claim.

Use cases
- Van, camper, boat or trailer rooftops where a rigid 200 W panel cannot sit flat on the curved surface
- Weight-critical installs: 4.9 kg for 200 W is roughly half the weight of a comparable rigid mono panel
- Higher-output flexible installs where the 100W Flexible is not enough wattage in the same construction
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Published NUMERIC module efficiency (16.7%), higher than the 100W Flexible's 14.9%
- Full published electrical characteristics (Voc, Vmp, Imp, Isc)
- Half-cut cell design with bypass diodes for better shade and hotspot resistance
- 4.9 kg for 200 W, materially lighter than a rigid 200 W mono panel
- IP68 junction box and IP67 solar connectors
Weaknesses
- 16.7% module efficiency is still below rigid mono panels (typically 20-22%): flexibility costs efficiency
- Panel body has no IP rating of its own, only the junction box and connectors do
- Warranty is a 5-year 90% output performance warranty, shorter than the 100W Flexible's 25-year performance tier
- No charge controller included (this is a component)
- Flexible ETFE surfaces are more susceptible to abrasion and delamination over time than glass-faced rigid panels
