BougeRV 9BB Cell 200 Watts Solar Panel,23% High-Efficiency Mono Module Monocrystalline Technology Work with 12 Volts Charger for RV Camping Home Boat Marine Off-Grid

I am absolutely thrilled with my BougeRV solar panels! The quality is outstanding; they are efficient, and built to last. The installation process was remarkably easy, even for someone with limited technical skills. The user-friendly design made setup a breeze. These panels have exceeded my expectations in performance, consistently providing reliable power. I highly recommend BougeRV solar panels for anyone seeking top-notch quality. Shipping packaging was more that adequate to prevent damage during shipping.

I highly recommend doing business with BougeRV. The panels are great, and their customer service is beyond superlative. I bought two of these panels, but when I rigged them up to my power station, I wasn’t getting nearly the wattage from them that I should have, so I contacted BoughRV customer service. Kaylee was great to work with. Her communication was exemplary, often times responding to my messages within minutes (even late at night), and there was absolutely no language barrier. After giving her all the details and showing her what kind of results I was getting, she sent me two more solar panels, and told me I could keep the first two they sent. When the second set of panels didn’t perform any better than the first, I took an open reading from all the panels and discovered that they were putting out the expected voltage (18-20V). There was nothing wrong with the panels after all. It became clear that it was the power station that was at fault. So I returned that power station and bought a better one, and everything has been working great ever since.Kaylee was in constant communication with me throughout the entire weeks-long process, and when it was revealed that there was never anything wrong with ANY of the panels they sent me, I offered to return two of them (in the spirit of fairness), and she told me to consider them a gift! I can’t say enough good things about BougeRV and their customer service! They basically earned zero profit off of this transaction, but they still went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! What they may have lost in dollars, they’ve earned back ten-fold in loyalty. I would not hesitate to do business with them again, and I recommend them to everybody. I also have a BougeRV refrigerator (purchased before the solar panels) that works like a champ, and only draws 45 watts.

These work great for the price. Only con I have seen in a year of using is, in Michigan, no matter what time/month/angle of panel, the highest wattage seen is 160 per panel. I run 6 panels to max out my victron 100/50 solar charger

Bought these September of 2023, but just now getting around to reviewing them as we spent most of the winter building our van. Now that we’re using it I must say that I’m very impressed with the performance of the panels. We have a pair of them on the van, and despite being rated at 200 watts each, on good days they beat that. Looking back over the last 30 days as recorded in the Victron app, I had one day with a pmax of 510W, and several others well over 400. And I live at 47° north. Pretty good performance I’d say. Looking forward to seeing how they do further south.

I bought 4 of the 200W 9BB Solar Panels (on 4 different occasions). They were all very well packaged and three arrived flawless. One had a small dent in the corner of the aluminum frame but nothing that was worth sending it back for (in my opinion). Customer service was fast, friendly and favorable to the customer. All 4 panels put out acceptable power. I have seen 175W output from these panels and I did NOT strategically place or position them for optimum angle to the sun. They may possibly produce more. Being that these panels perform so well I opted to place and position them where convenient and aesthetically acceptable. I would definitely buy these panels again!

UPDATE -- I tested both panels and they work flawlessly. The numbers shown by my charge controller are actually better than what the specs on the panels would suggest. Very happy with these panels ---I ordered two of these while they were on sale. I chose the 200 watt 9BB BougeRV panels after watching and reading many reviews, almost all of which were extremely positive. Both panels arrived in good condition and very quickly shipped via USPS. My only concern is that the box flap on one of the two panels was completely open, and that box was missing packing material and the paperwork which was present in the box for the other panel. That makes me wonder if one of the panels I received might have been a customer return or something. I'll update my review once I've had a change to test the panels but for now I'm happy. Will order two more of these when budget allows. At 0.86 cents a watt (on sale) I don't think you can go very wrong with these panels.

Terrible packaging. 2/3 of panels arrive damaged and require replacement. If you receive one panel without frame damage, consider yourself lucky. Some panels look intact, but have hidden damage and invisible micro-cracks. 8 purchased panels developed visible snail trails after 6 weeks of use.Prop tip: retain all packaging until Amazon's return time frame expires. You will need to return some panels, guaranteed.Product quality is a gamble. Some panels seem perfect but one had 21V OC voltage instead of 22.5V. The bourgerv logo fades in a couple of weeks -- I am guessing this is some cheap white-labeling at the unknown Chinese plant.The 10 year warranty is a marketing gimmick. There is no way for these panel to last longer than a couple of years. Even if bourgerv survives as a company and honors warranty, shipping logistics will not be economical and you will be better off buying a replacement. That might be the company's business plan.

Great packaging to insure a safe arrival. Edges were wrapped, corners were guarded, glass panel face foam covered. Installed and was getting 22 Volts on a scattered cloud day. Would buy this brand and vendor again.
