Will it charge any portable power station?

It uses a standard MC4 connector, so it works with most power stations that accept MC4 or come with an MC4 adapter cable. Check your station's solar input voltage and current limits first; the panel peaks at 26.1V open circuit and 10.3A.

How fast does it charge a power station?

In full sun it delivers close to 200W, so a 1kWh station takes roughly five to six hours of good sun. Real output falls with clouds, angle and heat.

Yes, it is rated IP67, so rain and splashes are fine. Do not submerge it, and dry the MC4 connectors before plugging in.

Is it good for backpacking?

Not really. At 16.1 lbs and 89 inches unfolded, it suits car camping, RVs and basecamps more than hiking.

What comes in the box?

The panel and a user manual. You supply the cable to your power station unless your unit includes an MC4 adapter.

Does it work in shade?

Poorly. Partial shade on one section cuts output across the panel, so keep it fully exposed and re-aim it as the sun moves.
