【High Energy Transfer Rate & Universal Port】The LiTime Portable 100W Solar Panel is featuring mono-crystalline silicon solar cells that boast an impressive energy transfer rate of 22.7%, compared to the industry average of 21%. The universal MC4 port easily connects to any power station using included adapters.
【4kg Light Weight & Compact Size】The LiTime Portable Solar Panel is an amazing choice for camping or outdoor adventures. It weighs in at just 4kg, so it's easy to carry even for solo trips. Plus, the compact size of 648mm x 520mm x 25mm (when folded) means it won't take up too much space in your vehicle, and it's still 18% smaller than other portable panels on the market when unfolded.
【Series & Parallel Connection】Connect panels in series for higher voltage to charge large batteries faster. Or parallel for increased current to power demanding devices.
【IP67 Water Proof & ETFE Layer】The panel is also designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. It's waterproof and dustproof, with an IP67 rating, so it can handle even the toughest camping, hiking, or road trip conditions. The ETFE layer also helps to reflect certain wavelengths of UV light, which makes it more durable and long-lasting than other portable panels.

We offer fast delivery from our local warehouses in the US, with an estimated delivery time of 2-5 working days (depending on inventory). We also provide professional technical support and online customer service with quick feedback within 24 hours, so you can always count on us for help and advice.
The 100W Solar Panel is rated to produce a maximum power output of 100 watts under standard test conditions (STC). However, the actual power output of the panel can vary based on a number of factors, such as the angle and intensity of sunlight, temperature, and shading. In real-world conditions, it's common for a solar panel to not produce its maximum rated power output. Factors such as cloudy weather, shading, and the angle and orientation of the panel can all affect its performance. So, while the 100W Solar Panel is capable of producing up to 100 watts of power, the actual power output you get from the panel may be lower than this.
In general, you can expect the 100W panel to produce between 70 and 95 watts of power when sunlight hits it at a 90° angle on a clear day with no clouds in the sky. This is just an estimate, and the actual power output can vary based on the specific conditions. It's worth noting that the output power of the solar panel is tested under specific conditions (1000W/m2 or 92.9W/ft2 in AM1.5 conditions with a panel temperature of 25°C/77°F), and the actual power output you get in the real world may be different from the peak power output.
Yes, you can connect these 100W Solar Panels with solar panels of different sizes in series and parallel connection.
You can connect these 100W Solar Panels with other sizes of solar panels in a series circuit. However, it's important to note that the performance of the solar panels in the series circuit will be limited by the lowest performing panel in the circuit. So, if you connect a 100W solar panel with a lower-rated panel, the overall performance of the circuit will be limited by the lower-rated panel.
Additionally, when connecting solar panels in a series circuit, it's important to ensure that the total voltage of the circuit does not exceed the rated voltage of the charge controller or inverter you're using. Exceeding the rated voltage can damage the equipment and potentially be dangerous.
When connecting solar panels of different sizes in a parallel connection, the total power output is equal to the sum of the power of the individual panels. However, it's important to note that the voltage of the lower-powered panel should not differ from the higher-powered panel by more than 1.1 times, as this can cause current backflow and potentially damage the panels. For instance, a solar panel with a power voltage of 19.8V can be connected in parallel with a panel with a power voltage that is <19.8V*1.1=21.78V or ≥19.8V/1.1=18V. In other words, it can be connected in parallel with a panel whose power voltage is between 18V and 21.78V. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the solar panels.
Mismatched panels can lead to inefficient power production and potential damage to the panels. It's also important to use appropriate wiring and fuses to ensure safe and efficient operation of the solar array.
The optimal solar panel setup is determined by the maximum input power that the device being powered can handle. For instance, if you require a solar panel to charge a portable energy storage device that can only support a maximum input power of 200W, it is recommended to select two 100W solar panels and connect them in parallel.
The type of battery that can be used with solar panels is not limited by the panels themselves. Instead, it's the controller that determines which types of batteries are supported for charging when using a solar panel and controller. The controller ensures that the battery is charged safely and efficiently, regardless of its type, by regulating the charging voltage and current.
To ensure optimal performance, it's advisable to clean the surface of the solar panels. Any dust and dirt should be swept off the panel surface using a soft brush, followed by wiping the surface with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dirt and grime.
