Description
The 160W Crystalline Foldable Solar Panel is designed to charge medium to large scale electronic devices using DC power. This panel uses high efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells for a greater power density with less footprint than traditional PowerFilm amorphous silicon panels.
Please note that this panel is compatible with SAE adapter cables only, these are available here. Standard PowerFilm accessories are NOT COMPATIBLE due to this panel's higher voltage. This panel can be used on 12V/36V/48V/72V systems with a charge controller or transformer.

Important Notes
Foldable Solar Panels are designed for regular outdoor use but not permanent outdoor installations. While light rain will not damage the panels if they are brought inside and dried before storing, the panels are not weatherproof and should not be deployed in poor conditions. The fabric may discolor and fray with permanent outdoor exposure, and the individual solar modules may also be compromised.
Always store the Foldable Solar Panel in a cool, dry environment. If the panel is wet, allow it to thoroughly dry before folding and storing it to avoid damage (temperature range -30 to 60° C).
Operating Voltage and Current are typical values when tested under load at AM 1.5 lighting conditions. Power performance may vary due to temperature, light spectrum, angle to the sun, and other effects (minimum 95% rated when new).
How To Charge
-
Unfold the panel with the solar side facing up and pointing towards the sun.
-
Use the grommets on each corner and a tie cord to hold the panel in place and reduce loss or damage from high winds.
-
Connect the appropriate charge controller and cable for the type of device you will be charging.
