Portable solar panels and solar generator kits that recharge a power station without a gas can or a wall outlet. Every spec and price comes from the brand’s official product page. This is a spec comparison, not a lab test.
A folding panel only makes power while it’s in the sun. It does nothing until it’s plugged into a power station, which stores the energy and runs your devices. Three numbers decide whether a panel suits your station: the station’s maximum solar input in watts, the panel’s voltage, and the connector. Our guides cover how many solar watts you need and connector and voltage compatibility.
Rated watts are measured in lab conditions. Outdoors, clouds, heat, angle and shade cut real output, often well below the label. A station also never takes more than its own solar-input limit, however big the panel.
From pocket USB chargers to 400W folding arrays. The two smallest GEYOTO panels charge phones directly over USB; the rest are made to feed a power station.
A pocketable USB solar charger for phones and tablets on hikes. It plugs into devices, not into a power station.
A slightly bigger USB solar charger with three outputs, so you can top up more than one device at once.
A folding 100W bifacial panel with MC4 output and an XT60 cable in the box, for charging small and mid-size stations.
Double the S100’s rating in a car-portable folding case, for 1kWh-class stations that accept 200W or more of solar.
A budget 110W folding panel with kickstands and an adapter set that covers the common station inputs.
A large 400W folding panel for big stations with high solar input. At 38 lb it’s a vehicle-carried panel.
Goal Zero’s four-section 200W folding panel with pop-out legs, made to plug straight into a Yeti.
Two 50W tempered-glass panels hinged into a briefcase. Heavy, but built to take rough handling.
A 300W briefcase panel with a self-deploying kickstand, for larger Yetis that can take high solar input.
A power station sold with one or more panels. Handy when you want a matched setup in one box. Check the station’s solar-input limit if you plan to add panels later.
The N300 bundled with the S100 panel: a light starter solar setup for camping and phone-and-laptop backup.
The N1000 with one S200 panel. Room to add more panels later, since the station takes up to 800W of solar.
The N1000 with two S200 panels (400W rated), for faster solar refills during multi-day outages.
An 828Wh station with a 200W panel. It can expand to 2,376Wh with VTOMAN’s 1,548Wh extra battery (sold separately).
A 1,548Wh station paired with VTOMAN’s 400W panel, which matches the station’s 400W solar limit.
The compact Yeti 500 with the folding Nomad 50 panel, a light kit for campsites and short outages.
Already have a station? BLUETTI’s Elite 200 V2 + 200W Solar and Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500 + Nomad 200 kits are on the homepage, and every kit is in the comparison below.
Tick up to six panels or kits. Use the tabs to switch between panels, kits and power stations; you can mix them in one table. Clear all resets the selection.
Work out panel size from your station’s capacity, your local sun hours and real-world losses.
When a folding panel and a power station is enough, and when a permanent roof system makes more sense.
