Jackery SolarSaga 100X Portable Solar Panel for Explorer 240/300/500/1000/1500 Power Station, Foldable PERC Solar Cell Solar Charger with USB Outputs for Phones (Cant Charge Explorer 440/ PowerPro)

I purchased 2 of these Jackery 100 watt panels. Both died just after a year with maybe a dozen uses. Dont count on them for backup!!! Not waterproof either. Thats 500 bucks down the toilet!

Bought it to go with the solar generator. Works as described. Life saver during our many power outs.

I like that it fold’s up in half with magnetic clips. I like that it has a large enough pouch for carrying extra cables. I dislike the velcro stands. I am sure there is a better way to stand it up like Biolite has for there solar panel. I wish it had a sun indicator.

It charges fast in full sun. Given the size of this thing, it better charge fast. It folds, and is light weight, so its not difficult at all to move or store. When you use it, youll just want to make sure there is enough space for it, and that its in full sun. A picnic table would be plenty of space for it. In full sun, it charged my Jackery Explorer 500 power station from 60% to 100% in four hours (might have been less). You can also charge devices on it because it has USB posts. If its in any kind of shade, it will not charge fast. Thats the same for most, if not all, consumer rated solar panels.

This is only a 60W Solar Panel, not sure why they are saying it is more. Off of my testing shows still only 60W.

Works great easy setup what’s not to like other than the cost?

Even at noon, no clouds condition at Maryland, the charging is between 60-75 W. Though its not claimed as it advertise, we are satisfied that it kept our battery level about 50% during a 4 day camping trip.

I purchased 2 of these panels to charge my new Explorer 1000. They do a fantastic job, and I love that they have USB A and C ports as well so you can charge other devices with ease. We charged phones, tablets, even some AAA rechargeable batteries. I used the Explorer while camping to power my telescope at night, and then these panels brought the Explorer back to 100% during the day. Couldn’t be more pleased with the combined performance.

Jackery make some really good solar stuff and this one is a must have for camping , off grid or any time you are without power . It is simple to use and light weight and easy to use. It charges nicely and I would recommend this to anyone considering it.

Easy to set up and begin charging. No hassles. I took it camping and it charges between 60-70 watts depending on access to direct sun. I was in a forest and needed to be mindful of tall trees that could have dropped sap onto the panels. They are worth the investment. I hope to buy another set of panels to improve the charging time. They fold up nicely and keeping them folded protects the panels when not in use. I was able to charge a cell directly from the panels as well as charge the Jackery.
