Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 300: about 24.6 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on 8mm), about 189 W.
Works
1 x 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel into the Yeti 300 (1 panel on 8mm) stays inside 12.3 to 28 V and under 10 A, even at 20F.
- The brand does not say whether its voltage limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we check against the stricter open-circuit number.
- Goal Zero says a 200 W panel needs its HPP to 8mm connector for this station.
- Needs an MC4 to 8mm adapter cable.
100 W, open-circuit 22.5 V, short-circuit 5.8 A, working 18.9 V / 5.3 A. Brand page Panel details

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 300: about 24.6 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on 8mm), about 189 W.
Can I connect two 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel panels to the Yeti 300?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on 8mm. That gives about 189 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel to the Yeti 300?
Needs an MC4 to 8mm adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel goes from 22.5 V on its label to about 24.6 V at 20°F and 25.4 V at 0°F. The Yeti 300 accepts up to 28 V on the 8mm.

Other panels that work with the Yeti 300
- Goal Zero Yeti 300: solar input 12.3 to 28 V on the Solar in (8mm). Goal Zero does not say whether this limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we use the stricter reading: open-circuit voltage on your coldest morning.
- Cold raises panel voltage: we add 0.30% per °C below 77F (25°C), a typical figure, since this panel does not publish its own. At 20F one panel's 22.5 V becomes 24.6 V.
- Current over the 10 A cap is safe: the station takes 10 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 200 W on this input.
- Cold-morning voltage uses 0.30% per °C, typical for crystalline panels. This panel's own value is not published.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
