Portable solar panels

Folding panels to recharge your power station anywhere the sun shines. We compare real output, weight and efficiency, and calculate how fast each one refills every station we review.

How many watts do you need? A simple rule: to refill a station in one sunny day (about 5 hours of good sun), you need panels rated at roughly its capacity divided by 3.5. A 1 kWh station wants about 300 W of panels; a 2 kWh station about 600 W, as long as the station accepts that much solar input.
