About this product
The SPHERE foldable solar panel is a must-have for frequent travellers. It's a 300W solar blanket made from durable poly/cotton canvas and can be easily packed down to 1/6 of its full size, weighing only 10kg. Perfect for camping, RVing, and other outdoor activities, it features Anderson plugs for easy and secure connections. The A-grade monocrystalline solar cells offer an impressive energy conversion efficiency of 23.5%, providing efficient power to your electronic devices. Additionally, it has an auto-optimization function for immediate reconnection when sunlight returns after charging interruption, and comes with a lithium compatible MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking — a smart charging method that extracts up to 30% more power from solar panels than older PWM (Pulse Width Modulation — an older, simpler solar charging method) controllers) controller that adjusts voltage for a boost of current during peak demand, resulting in 20% more energy than a PWM controller. With the SPHERE solar panel, you'll be fully equipped to enjoy off-road adventures
