Renogy 450W 12V bifacial monocrystalline solar panel, 2 pack

Product Description

This two-pack of Renogy 450W bifacial monocrystalline panels delivers 900 watts of front-side power for residential roofs, ground mounts, and off-grid systems. Each panel combines PERC cells, half-cut construction, bypass diodes, and a 10-busbar layout, with bifacial glass that captures reflected light on the rear side — up to 30% more energy than comparable monofacial panels, per Renogy.

Who This Pack Is For

A practical pick for homeowners adding panels to a ground mount or outbuilding, cabin owners on 24V banks, and anyone who wants full-size residential modules with third-party safety listings — these panels are ETL Listed to UL 61730, which some jurisdictions require for permitted installations.

Key Features

  • 900W combined output: two 450W panels rated at standard test conditions, per Renogy.
  • Bifacial design: captures reflected light on the rear side for up to 30% more energy, per Renogy.
  • PERC half-cut cells: with bypass diodes and 10 busbars to limit losses when part of the panel is shaded.
  • 20.8% module efficiency: per Renogy.
  • Built for weather: rated for snow loads up to 113 psf (5400 Pa) and -40°F to 185°F operation, per Renogy.
  • Safety listings: ETL Listed to UL 61730; TUV certified to IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, per Renogy.
  • 1500VDC max system voltage: with a 30A max series fuse rating.

Why Renogy

Renogy has focused on DIY-friendly renewable power since 2010, with origins at Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Business and Technology Center. The company publishes datasheets for every panel and builds controllers, batteries, and inverters designed to match.

Sizing & System Fit

Two panels occupy about 47 sq ft. With a Vmp of 34.67V, these are MPPT-controller panels: on a 24V bank, 900W is roughly 31A of charging — a 40A-class MPPT controller fits well; on a 48V bank about 16A. Wired in series the pair reaches roughly 82.5V open-circuit; in parallel, 41.25V at up to 27.8A short-circuit. On 12V banks the wattage pushes past 60A of charge current, so 24V is the more practical home for this pack. A Renogy Core 300Ah LiFePO4 battery pairs naturally — use two in series for a 24V bank.

Warranty & Support

Per Renogy's datasheet, these panels carry a 10-year material and workmanship warranty and a 25-year power output warranty. OffGrid Horizon is a family-owned authorized Renogy dealer — your purchase qualifies for full manufacturer coverage, and we're a phone call away at (302) 496-3554.

Shipping

Full-size panels like these (75.2 x 44.6 in, 50.9 lb each) typically ship palletized via LTL freight. Inspect both panels for damage before signing the delivery receipt and note anything with the driver — this protects your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

The title says 12-volt — will these charge a 12V battery?

Yes, through an MPPT charge controller, which converts the panel's 34.67V operating voltage down to battery voltage. That said, 900W on a 12V bank means over 60A of charge current, so most owners run this pack on 24V or 48V systems.

How do I get the bifacial gain?

Mount the panels with the rear side open to reflected light — elevated ground mounts over gravel, concrete, or snow work well. Flush roof mounting yields front-side output only. The up-to-30% figure is Renogy's, under favorable reflection.

How does this panel handle partial shade?

Half-cut construction with bypass diodes lets unshaded sections keep producing when part of the panel is blocked. It softens shade losses but doesn't eliminate them — site the panels clear of midday shadows where possible.

What certifications matter for a permitted install?

These panels are ETL Listed to UL 61730 and TUV certified to IEC 61215/61730, per Renogy — the listings building departments typically look for on residential solar equipment. Confirm requirements with your local authority.

Can I put these in the same string as my other panels?

Only with closely matched specs. Series strings are limited by the lowest current; parallel groups need matching voltage within about 5%. Otherwise, use a separate controller input per panel type.

How much snow can they take?

Renogy rates them for snow loads up to 113 psf (5400 Pa) — suitable for heavy-snow regions when the racking is rated to match.
