The GridGuard 400W Portable Folding Solar Panel turns sunlight into usable power for off-grid and backup charging. It folds for transport. An ETFE coating and an IP68 waterproof rating suit it to outdoor use.
An MC4 output connects to compatible power stations and generators. The 400W figure is the panel's rated output, not a battery capacity. The panel makes power only while it is in sunlight, and real-world output is usually lower than the rating.
To set it up, unfold the panel on a flat, stable surface angled toward the sun. Keep it free of shade, and connect it to a compatible device or controller before leaving it in the sun. On a clear day with about four hours of strong sunlight, a 400W panel typically yields roughly 1,200Wh of usable energy after real-world losses. Cloud, haze, shade and a poor angle reduce that.
