- How much power does it actually produce?
- Expect roughly 60-80W in direct sun at a good angle. Like all 100W folding panels, the rating is measured under lab conditions, so clouds, shade and a flat angle cut output.
- Is it waterproof enough to leave in the rain?
- The IP67 rating means it handles rain and dust, but the junction box and connectors are the weak points. Unplug and stow it in heavy or prolonged rain.
- What can I charge with it?
- It suits portable power stations, phones, tablets and small 12V gear through the included 5-in-1 cable. It will not directly run high-draw appliances like kettles or full-size fridges.
- Does it work with my power station?
- It should work with most power stations that accept solar input in the 12-18V range. Check your station's input voltage and connector before buying.
- How portable is it?
- It folds into a carry-friendly package at about 9.5 lb, fine for car camping and short walks. It is heavier than a thin 100W panel for long backpacking trips.
- Where is the 100W Portable Solar Panel Kit Foldable ETFE 5 in 1 Cable IP67 cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $178.90, as of our latest check.
