Will the Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
Yes. One Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 300: about 24.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 50 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on 8mm), about 100 W.
Works
1 x 50W Mono N-Type Rigid 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.
50 W, open-circuit 22.3 V, short-circuit 2.9 A, working 18.6 V / 2.7 A. Brand page Panel details

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
Yes. One Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 300: about 24.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 50 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on 8mm), about 100 W.
Can I connect two 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel panels to the Yeti 300?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on 8mm. That gives about 100 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 50W Mono N-Type Rigid 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 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel goes from 22.3 V on its label to about 24.4 V at 20°F and 25.2 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 22.3 V becomes 24.4 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.
