Looking for 100W panel with width <=50cm / 19,685 inch

[svfalkor]

Hey solar crowd!
I am looking for a slim 100 Watt panel (framed, not flexible). Ideally it is no wider than 500mm (19,685 inch).
The slimmest one I could find is this Newpowa one:

https://www.amazon.com/Newpowa-Monocrystalline-Efficiency-Module-Marine/dp/B01LY02BOA

It says 19,88inch = 504,952mm

Does anyone know of a panel that is just 500mm wide? Ideally available in Mexico or US.

Thanks!
Patrick

They're not at a great price right now (maybe you can find a different seller/site), but I believe the Renogy compact panels come in just under 500mm (498mm); https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JXYTFF7/ At least according to the label on the back of the panels - see the pictures in the reviews.

I actually have some of these myself and would be happy to measure later today if you like...

Renogy site says 20" widht (509mm) : https://www.renogy.com/renogy-100-watt-12-volt-monocrystalline-solar-panel/

That would be great! Thank you!

Yeah, that would be a bit to big. On Amazon there are 2 different dimensions for that panel:

Yeah, I guess it depends which version you get. I believe (still need to measure) at least some of the RNG-100D-SS are actually 498mm wide.

The 100w panels listed on the Renogy website right now are; RNG-100D-SS-US, RSP100D-BK-US, and RNG-100MB-US which are all a little wider.

Incidentally, this thread might be of interest too... It looks like the HQST-100D-SS could be either 498mm or 509mm.

@Symbioquine, thank you that is helpful! It seems HQST and Renogy both had the 498mm version but now they sell the 507 version. Maybe they switched their supplier?
I wrote HQST, lets see what they say...

No problem. Hope you get it figured out - that sounds frustrating!

I'm glad my dimensional requirements haven't been nearly that specific with my ground-mounted system.

I built a Bimini that fits the 50cm panels exactly. And now the sizes of Renogy / HQST panels seems to have changed ?
I guess I should have ordered the panels first. But then shipping due covid wasn't exactly easy...

I'll find a solution, one way or the other...

Whelp... I got sidetracked and forgot to measure while I was near my system earlier this afternoon. It sounds like you've probably got your answer already, but I'll try to remember to measure tomorrow...

I am very eager to find out the actual length and width for the Renogy RSP-100D, the one with the plastic corners. Website says 20'x43.3" but I have learned the hard way the advertised dimensions are not always accurate.

I bought the new RNG 100D and it turned out to be 20"x 42.5" which is different than both the old and new advertised dimensions. I need something 19.6" wide like the old RNG100D or something 20" wide that is not longer than 40"

I want to try these: https://ca.renogy.com/100-watt-12-volt-monocrystalline-solar-panel-black-frame/
Has anyone got one they can measure?
