Jackery SolarSaga 200W Portable Solar Panel,Bifacial

Does what is says! Buyers can have piece of mind knowing this is well constructed and rugged. Pulled 145 plus watts for me and that’s without me chasing the sun around. Yes there are cheaper alternatives but if you are one of those people who likes the branded stuff, this will not disappoint.

I bought this to charge my Jackery Explorer 1000, and it does a wonderful job doing so. I took it to a week long family reunion in the mountains to keep the battery charged, which was drained from 100% to ~5% every day. My dad brought his EcoFlow 1600 and 400W EcoFlow solar panel, and even though this is half the rated wattage, this Jackery panel was about a third the weight and size, showing just how efficient this panel is compared to a competitor. The Bifacial form factor means it doesn't just get energy from the sunlight hitting it, but from ambient and radiant light as well. In direct sunlight, using the built-in guide to align it properly to the sun, I got a consistent 198 watts input. This was at 6000' elevation with clean, clear skies. When a cloud would pass over, it would drop to around 60-100w depending on the cloud density. With a heavy overcast sky, it was about 60w, which is still something! The panels do blow over fairly easily, which is a downside of the panels being so light compared to competition. Setting a lower angle helps, but might compromise charge speed. I wish the legs had a flap that I could put a rock on to keep it stable, or some other form of stabilization. We did get a decent but short rain storm while we were away and the panel got rained on, but it appears to be quite rainproof. Just be sure to wipe the rain up or clean the panel after to get any debris off for maximum efficiency. The panel is quite expensive, but it's a very high quality panel and worth the money. Compared to other panels, it's lighter, more efficient, more compact, and more weather resistant. So yes, it does cost a lot, but that translates to a lot of value. Highly recommended.

These are excellent panels. They are actually pack down about the same size as my 100 watt panels which is perfect.

Slow charge , but works as hoped

This thing rocks! It will charge your power block, and that charges all your devices. Love it!

Nice foldable solar panel. High priced. Well built.

Didn't charge my Jackery 2000 when not in perfectly direct sunlight. Even the slightest bit of shade has a big impact on functionality. Useless for camping around New England where there's often some tree cover/shade.

It did great! 30% in 3 hours in mostly full sun. Went from 32% to 63 %.
