- Will this charge a power station directly?
- Yes, through its DC output, provided the connector matches your power station's input. Check the plug type and the station's voltage range before buying.
- Does it need a charge controller?
- For a power station, no, since the station has its own input regulation. For charging a bare 12V battery, you need a separate charge controller.
- How much power does it really produce?
- Expect well under 200W in real use. Direct, square-on sun and cool temperatures get closest to the rating; shade, haze and heat cut it substantially.
- Can it charge phones and tablets?
- Yes, the dual USB ports charge small devices directly without a power station.
- How big is it when folded?
- It folds to roughly a 20-inch-wide briefcase shape and weighs about 9.7 lb.
- Where is the 200W Portable Foldable Solar Panel Kit Dual USB cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $237.28, as of our latest check.
