{"product_id":"mega-100-portable-briefcase-solar-panel","title":"MEGA 100 Portable Briefcase Solar Panel - 100 Watt 12 Volt Portable Solar Panel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 100-watt folding panel with no charge controller attached, meant for anyone whose power station or solar generator already has an MPPT input built in. Plugging a controlled panel into a power station just adds a second regulation stage you do not need. This is the same hardware as the MEGA 100 briefcase charging kit, minus the 10A controller and the price that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy this panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonocrystalline cells rated up to 23.2% efficiency, folding to 25.2 x 18.1 x 2.4 in and weighing 15.7 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18.6V at maximum power, 5.38A, 22.8V open circuit. That open-circuit figure is the number to check against your power station's input voltage window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempered glass on an aluminum frame with corner guards, because a portable panel takes more knocks than a roof-mounted one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP67 junction box and connectors, so light rain and morning dew are not a problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in kickstands hold the panel at an angle instead of flat, which is where most of the real-world gain over a flat mat panel comes from.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the charging kit version instead if you are wiring directly to a bare 12V battery with no controller of your own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfold, deploy the kickstands, and aim at the sun; reposition every couple of hours to hold output up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-foot 12 AWG leads terminate in MC4 connectors. Most power stations need an MC4 to XT60, Anderson or 8mm adapter, which is not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo panels can be paralleled for 200W if your input accepts the current, or wired in series if it accepts the voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry it folded by the handle; the glass is protected by the frame but should not be stood on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 years on rated power output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 years on materials and workmanship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rich Solar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46392689393814,"sku":"RS-X100B","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5291\/1254\/files\/MEGA_100_Portable_Briefcase_Solar_Panel_100_Watt_Portable_Solar_Panel_Premier_12V_Portable_Solar_Panel_for_Generators_Power_Stations_Vans_High_Efficiency_20241205_1.jpg?v=1785708681","url":"https:\/\/sunenergydepot.com\/products\/mega-100-portable-briefcase-solar-panel","provider":"sunenergydepot.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
