I did a test. I'm outfitting my cabin, and which to get? So, I ordered two panels to start my test. One Renogy 100w, and another similar amazon sourced brand that was cheaper. Here are my results.
0) shipping speed: Order placed Thur jun 7th in the evening. Package on porch Sat Jun 9th. Oh, ya. That is prime. The other brand: placed Sat jun 9th, arrived Thursday jun 13th. Ok, there was a Sunday in there...but takes 3 week days and a weekend to deliver?
1) Packaging: HANDS DOWN, the Renogy was better packed. Double boxed. Also, the inner box was a denser protective box packed with 1/2 closed cell foam. The other brand was just a single box. BOTH arrived with shipping scars. I had to verify the other brand panel to ensure it wasn't damaged in shipping. Renogy wins big here.
2) power output. The two 100 watt panels in direct sun light. The amps/volts were very similar. 5.6-5.7amps @17.3-17.6 volts...I'll call that ~100Watts. Both panels are as advertised.
3) Aluminum: The renogy frame was simply more aluminum. 1/3 more height and more sturdy.
4) construction: The renogy brand had mitered corners. The fit and finish were good. The other brand had plastic corners. The renology was stiffer. Important if you are mounting to a roof during a wind storm one would think.
So...End result: I need 6 more panels. I'll be buying the Renogy.
I will follow up in 6 months with more stats and results.

First 2 panels okay, but last 2 maybe bad.
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019
I have now bought 4 of these panels and the last 2 have not lived up to the standard. As you can see in the picture, they are all getting the same sunlight and should produce the correct voltage and current. How ever, the 2 on the left as I point to in the picture are producing 10% less and seems to be dragging the system down. I tried calling renogy to no avail only voicemail, so now I have to wait for slow email. I left a message about a week ago and I still have not received any response up to now, I don't believe they are that busy not to call back 🤔. The description says 100watt but that is not true either, even with 2 panels I only am getting 172watts. They are wired 2 series then parallel. Which should have given double production.They seem well built but only time will tell and make sure to register them, in order to get the warranty.My problem is with customer service right now not responding. Can't recommend until they do respond, as if you buy one and it's bad. You won't get them over the phone. That's better than email.Update 7/17/19:Still to date have NOT received any response from customer service, buyers be aware of these kind of business who gives phone number but"never" answer it. Email is also a joke, so I contacted Amazon who did a complete refund. Thumbs up for your great customer service 👍😊👍 Amazon. Lowsey renogy, buyers should go elsewhere until they Learn to respond to customers 😡. Over a month now and no response... Do not buy anything from renogy....

Size: 100W Slim DesignVerified Purchase
Love this product. Screwed it into Renogy brackets I purchased, added the converter cables needed for my existing Zamp system and attached to my Winnebago Travato rack on roof. So simple and SO much cheaper than adding another Zamp panel. Charged my battery to full status in no time (something I couldn't get with only one 100 watt panel). Loved the Renogy brackets, which are much better than my Zamp brackets. They are the same good quality as my roof rack brackets. Would definitely buy again.
