100-Watt Portable Folding Solar Panel

This is a portable, foldable 100-watt solar panel that recharges your Patriot Power solar generator using the free power of the sun. It folds up for easy carrying and storage, then unfolds to soak up sunlight when you need to top off your generator off-grid or during an outage.

It's designed to work with Patriot Power solar generators, including the Patriot Power Solar Generator 1200. It connects to the generator's solar input port with the included cable. Check your generator's maximum solar input so you pair it with a compatible panel or panel combination.

It's rated at 100 watts in good sun. Actual output depends on weather, time of day and the angle to the sun, so real-world numbers vary. Pairing it with your generator's solar input lets you recharge during a longer outage. A wall outlet is still the fastest way to charge when you have grid power.

Unfold the panel, place it in direct sunlight facing the sun, and plug it into your generator's solar input port with the included cable. Angle it toward the sun and reposition it through the day for the best charge. That's it, no tools or setup required.

Solar panels still collect some energy on overcast days, but output drops when sunlight is weak. For that reason, top off your generator from a wall outlet or car before a storm when you can. Once your generator is charged, it holds that power until you need it.

It weighs about 8.4 lbs and folds down for storage and transport. The foldable design makes it easy to tuck away with your generator and carry to wherever you need power.

On many Patriot Power generators you can chain more than one panel to add solar input and recharge faster. More panels mean more watts going in, which shortens solar charge time in good sun. Check your generator's maximum solar input before adding panels.

Wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth so dirt doesn't block sunlight, and let it dry before folding. Store it in a cool, dry place out of long-term direct heat. Avoid scratching or bending the panels, and keep the cable and connectors free of debris.
