Introduction
As people’s awareness of environmental protection increases, people are paying more and more attention to the application of green energy. Solar energy, as a renewable energy source, is gradually gaining popularity. The combination of portable solar panels and portable energy storage makes the application of solar energy more extensive, suitable for outdoor travel, camping, first aid, field scientific research, and other scenarios. This blog will introduce in detail the scheme of matching solar panels for portable power stations to help users better choose portable modules and energy storage equipment.
1. Exploring the Structure and Materials of Portable Solar Panels
We currently generally refer to cloth-sewn charging bags, lightweight solar panels, one-piece charging bags, and rigid folding solar panels collectively as portable solar panels.
1.1 Structure
Such folding solar panels are usually composed of several parts, including solar cells, housing (made of high-strength, lightweight materials to be portable, waterproof, dustproof, impact resistant, etc.), connectors and brackets, etc. (some also come with controllers).
The solar cell is the core part of the module, which is the key to converting solar energy into electricity.
The housing is used to protect the solar cells and provide support.
Connectors are used to connect the solar module to other devices.
The bracket is used to hold the solar module at the best angle in the sun.
Solar panels are lightweight and portable, supplying a variety of portable electronic devices.
And portable energy storage devices usually consist of batteries, chargers, USB ports, and other parts that can store electrical energy and output power when needed to meet the different needs of users.
1.2 Materials used in solar panels
Most of the current portable solar modules are made of PET surface material, which is not wear-resistant and easily deformed in long-term use.
Sungold’s portable solar modules use surface materials that are imported using ETFE, which has shown amazing results in practical application scenarios.
So the main advantages of using ETFE material on the surface of portable solar modules (practicality and reliability) are as follows:
Lightweight: ETFE material is lighter than glass, which can reduce the weight of solar modules and improve the portability of the modules.
Anti-aging: ETFE material has good weathering and chemical resistance to UV and oxidation, maintaining long-term clarity and light transmission.
High light transmittance: ETFE material has high light transmittance, which can convert more solar energy into electricity and improve the efficiency of solar panels.
Self-cleaning: ETFE material has a smooth surface, is not easy to adhere to dust and dirt, and can be self-cleaning, reducing maintenance and cleaning costs.
2. A Guide to the Different Types of Portable Solar Panels
There are many different types of portable solar panels on the market today, with many different specifications and functions. They can be distinguished according to the following points:
Power size: The power size of a solar panel determines its conversion efficiency and charging speed. Generally speaking, the higher the power of the solar panel, the faster the charging speed, but you also need to pay attention to the load demand and portability of carrying. Currently, there are 400-480W portable solar panels on the market, which are powerful and lightweight. 400W high-power solar panel of Sungold is only 12.6kg.
Folding: Different solar panels fold in different ways. Some are simple folding, some are foldable and removable, and you need to choose the right folding method according to the use of the scene. Most users choose the instant open and close. 1-2s will be able to open and fold up.
Quality and brand: The brand and quality of solar panels are also different. Choosing a well-known brand and good quality solar panels can ensure service life and charging efficiency. Especially for wholesale users should consider looking for professional manufacturers of portable products which have proven experience and products to avoid subsequent after-sales problems. Sungold Hi-Power series 400W portable solar panel has a five-year warranty. The quality of the product inspires confidence.
Additional features: Some solar panels also have waterproof, drop-proof, and other features; you need to choose the right additional features according to the actual use of demand.
3. Testing and Warranty of Portable Solar Panels
3.1 Testing
To maintain its leading position in the solar industry, Sungold Solar is committed to continuous investment in research and development, always maintaining the high quality and reliability of its products. Sungold Hi-Power series high-power portable solar panels have passed the professional test IEC 63163 test, fully demonstrating Sungold Solar’s technical advantages and comprehensive strength.
IEC 63163 is a test standard issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for consumer-grade photovoltaic designs and is designed to meet “moderate” outdoor exposure scenarios such as emergency power, hiking, and camping. Because consumer-grade PV products are often subjected to repeated deployments, drops, and forces, IEC 63163 adds mechanical durability testing, which places higher and more stringent requirements on the mechanical strength of module equipment to make it more durable.
Passing the test is Sungold’s popular Hi-Power series 400W portable PV series. It is made of ETFE surface material for outdoor weather resistance and excellent durability. The laminated outer film is highly resistant to UV rays, has good light transmission, and can increase the maximum power generation by up to 23%. Hi-Power series are made of industrial-grade photovoltaic materials and industrial-grade design standards, and their manufacturing process and process control are in line with IEC international standards. The product has also undergone strict waterproof testing by authoritative institutions and has an IP67 waterproof rating. Waterproof solar panels are the best choice for emergency power, hiking, camping, and other consumer scenarios.
Hi-Power series high-power solar panels have passed authoritative tests on consumer-grade PV modules, which not only demonstrates the quality standards as well as the value of the Hi-Power series as a consumer-grade PV category but also fully demonstrates Sungold Solar’s technical advantages and comprehensive strength in the PV industry and enhances the influence of Sungold brand with the leading position.

4. A Guide to Choosing the best portable power station with solar panels for Your Needs
When selecting portable solar panels and portable power stations, the following aspects need to be considered:
4.1 The power range of solar panels
The power of the solar panel directly affects the size of its electrical output, and you need to choose the right solar panel according to the use of scenarios and power requirements. Usually, the power of solar panels is between 5W-400W. Sungold can achieve the maximum power of 480W portable solar modules.
Low-power solar panels of 5W-30W are suitable for charging, lighting, and other low-power applications. For example, mobile devices that need to be charged during outdoor camping, hiking, travel, and other activities, such as cell phones, cameras, tablets, etc., can be charged by low-power solar panels.
Medium-power solar panels of 30W-100W are suitable for medium-power applications. For example, mobile devices that need to be charged during activities such as outdoor camping, hiking, and travel, such as laptops, wireless routers, and rechargeable batteries, can be charged by medium-power solar panels.
High-power solar panels of 100W-200W are suitable for high-power applications such as 200kwh-50kwh energy storage devices, electric power, automobiles, and ships. RV solar panels are suitable for off-grid application scenarios.
High-power solar modules of 400W or more are suitable for devices with more than one degree of power.
