Jackery Solar Generator Explorer 500, 518Wh Portable Power Station Mobile Lithium Battery Pack with 1xSolarSaga 100 for RV Road Trip Camping, Outdoor Adventure

Q: Will 2 solar panels help charge jackery 500 faster?

Yes, but you will only see the benefit when you have discharged the battery below about 65%. Above that level, like all batteries the unit accepts less and less power as it becomes more fully charged. I've gotten 140W charging via 2 solar panels, but again depends how often you're discharging it most of the way.

Q: can this power a house fridge and does this item come with the solar panels

Most full size refrigerators will have peak usage spikes above what the Jacket 500 can sustain. The Jackery 1000 can support a full size fridge, and also comes with 2 solar panels.

Q: Am new to the solar scene, but can the Jackery still be used with devices while it's charging? Or can it only charge when no devices are plugged in?

It can charge with devices plugged in!

Q: How long could this power an outdoor dj rig. (2) cd players (1) mixer, (2) 15 inch self powered speakers, wireless microphones and iPhone charger?

Depends on the wattage rating of all your equipment. But I will say not very long
