36W portable foldable solar panel with monocrystalline cells for outdoor power

This 36W portable foldable solar panel provides a reliable source of off-grid power for camping, caravanning, and motorhome use. Its monocrystalline silicon solar cells achieve 20.1% component efficiency, converting sunlight into usable electricity to charge 12V batteries, USB devices, and other accessories when you are away from mains power. The panel folds down to a compact 87 cm by 28.5 cm size, making it straightforward to pack into a vehicle, rucksack, or storage compartment. With an open circuit voltage of 20V and a maximum power point current of 1.8A, it delivers consistent performance under standard test conditions of 1000W/m² irradiation.

Features and Construction

The panel incorporates three monocrystalline silicon solar pieces within a foldable, portable structure. This design balances power output with practical transport needs, offering a rated power of 36Wp with a ±5% tolerance. The construction ensures the panel can be quickly set up at your campsite or attached to a vehicle.

Material and Build

The solar cells are monocrystalline silicon, a material known for efficient energy conversion in various light conditions. The panel's build allows it to fold neatly into its included carrying bag, protecting the cells during transit. Electrical connections are made via robust cables and clips designed for outdoor use.

Size and Practical Fit

When folded, the panel measures 87 cm in length by 28.5 cm in width. This compact size allows it to fit into many storage spaces, from caravan cupboards to backpacks. The folded profile makes it a practical choice for users who need to save space while travelling or when the panel is not in use.

Uses and Placement

This panel is suited for outdoor scenarios where access to the grid is limited or unavailable. It can provide power for lighting, communication devices, small appliances, and battery maintenance in caravans, motorhomes, boats, and remote cabins.

Event or Professional Use

For outdoor events, fieldwork, or professional applications, the panel offers a silent, fuel-free power source. Its 36W output can support monitoring equipment, signage, or tool charging. The inclusion of a car charger and multiple connectors increases its versatility for different power needs on location.

Everyday Home Use

At home, the panel can serve as a supplementary power source for garden sheds, workshops, or emergency preparedness kits. It can help maintain the charge of a car or leisure battery during extended parking periods, or power small devices like LED lights, radios, or fans during a power outage.

Benefits and Buying Value

Owning this solar panel reduces reliance on disposable batteries or noisy generators for outdoor power. It provides a reusable, low-maintenance energy solution that harnesses sunlight, a free and abundant resource.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The panel is designed for repeated use over many trips. With no moving parts and solid-state electronics, it requires minimal maintenance—simply keep the solar cells clean and store the unit in its bag when not in use. The included accessories are built for repeated connection and disconnection.

Why Choose This Product

This product combines a specific 36W output with a highly portable foldable design. The 20.1% efficiency figure indicates effective energy conversion, while the complete kit—with cables, clips, charger, and bag—means you have everything needed to start generating power immediately. It addresses the need for compact, ready-to-use solar power for mobile and off-grid situations.
