My brother-in-law and I are the people in the family who do in-depth research into everything we buy. Several years ago my brother-in-law recommended the Jackery 6000mAh Portable Travel Charger. Love it when he does the research for me! He said it was the best small electronics charger out there and he bought one for everyone in his family. I got one and could not have been any more pleased. Now all five members of my family each have one as well and use them all the time!
Next... I bought the Jackery AC 23200mAh Portable Laptop Charger for our laptops and iPads. Much more powerful than the 6000mAh and has an AC plug as one of the output options. Love it for using my computer outside and am constantly having to get it back from my son who uses it to power his occasional day long gaming sessions on the iPad!
Most importantly, the Jackery Customer Service has been incredible. They always respond quickly, and when one of our small chargers had a problem, they immediately sent us a new one, no questions asked!
Having such a great experience with Jackery, I decided to get the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500 and it's been awesome! We live in an area where the power goes out for short periods on a regular basis, so I figured this could help us get through those times without having to deal with the mess and smell of a gas powered generator. In addition to emergencies, this is going to be a staple on our long drives, vacations, and car camping trips.
All that brings me to the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Portable Solar Panel. I was intrigued by the simplicity and portability of solar panels that could keep all of my electronics charged completely off the grid!
It actually arrived two days quicker than the estimated time when I ordered it. Unfortunately, it also arrived on a completely overcast, dark winter day, but I figured I’d try it out anyway.
Day One: 11:50 am - Connected the SolarSaga 100 to my Jackery 500 which I had purposefully run down to 0% for the test. As I said, it was completely overcast. Using the supplied Anderson Solar Cable connector, the Jackery 500 input registered between 6-16 watts and charged to 4% in 4 hours. Not too exciting, but pretty much what you would expect (or maybe even better) on a day with absolutely no sun. The first photos are from that day. Next photos are from sunny days!
Day Two: Perfectly clear full sun winter day when I connected the Solarsaga 100 to the Jackery 500 again. at 10:10 am. The input on the Jackery 500 registered between 60-70 watts and charged to 45% in 3 hours. The Jackery website says the Solarsaga 100 should fully charge the Jackery 500 in full sun in 14 hours, so 45% in 3 hours was much better than I expected! The temperature during those three hours was 48-54°F
Later in the day I set it up facing the low western sun at 3:30 pm CST. The input registered at 25 watts until I lost the sun completely behind the neighbors house at 4:00.
Day Three: Another clear sunny day. Plugged it into the Jackery 500 at 8:30 am with morning temperatures being a bit lower than the day before. The input ranged from 50-70 watts and charged the Jackery 500 from 45% to 81% in three hours. Once again, much better than expected!
The SolarSaga 100 also includes one USB-C outlet and one USB-A outlet. At 1:30 pm, I plugged my iPhone 7 Plus and the Jackery 500 each directly into Solarsaga 100 With the sun behind a leaf-less pecan tree the input registered 26-28 watts (32-33 watt input if I disconnected the iPhone). My iPhone 7 Plus charged from from 40% to 91% in 1.5 hours. Even without the Jackery 500, the Solarsaga 100 seems like a great way to directly charge cell phones, cameras, iPads, laptops, or anything else that connects with USB-C or USB-A cables!
The set-up and breakdown of the the SolarSaga 100 panels is extremely quick and simple. It opens like a book and has two stable legs that pop out to stand it up to face the sun. When you fold it together again it stays closed with the help of what seem to be a couple magnets in the corners. Since my house is surrounded by trees and other houses, I had to move it several times in order to keep it in the sun. Each time I moved it took about 15 seconds.
While I was testing the solar panel, I had several work men (who also happened to be hunters) working on a project at my house. They were all super intrigued by the SolarSaga and the Jackery 500 for future off grid hunting trips and for taking with them on their worksites to keep their power tools charged. They said they usually park their trucks in places where there’s full sun and that they’d just lay the panel on the roof of the pick-up truck.
Overall great purchase. I’d very much recommend the SolarSaga 100 for its efficiency, simple clean design, portability, and durability potential. As with my other Jackery products, it’s perfect for emergencies, travel, and any time you just might be away from a normal power source. Perfect back-up for your electronics as long as you have some sun!

Raezer100W Solar Panel, small, compact and lightweight

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019
design SolarSaga 100W Version 2 color is black and orange, has a hard case style
like my Jackery 50Watt Solar Panel with magnetic locking when closed with a firm
TPE rubber handle, weighs 8.74Lbs making it a lightweight and durable solar panel
with built-in kickstands to allow different angles to point to sun, open dimensions
are 48.89" x 21.81" x .19685", closed dimensions are 24.44" x 21.81" x 1.77", has
one USB-A 5V/2.4A, one USB-C 5V/3A built into side of panel which are exposed and
should include a cover for these USB ports. The rest of this review is a from a
previous review. I have a lot of experience with Jackery products, their products
are top notch. I use ALL quality made Jackery products and only Jackery ...period.
I have 1 Jackery Explorer 500Wh, 2 Jackery Explorer 240Wh, 1 Jackery PowerBar
77Wh, Jackery 100W SolarSaga version 1 solar panel, the new Jackery 100W SolarSaga
version 2 solar panel, 50W Jackery solar panel kit and Jackery Protective Carrying
Bags which I highly recommend to protect your battery bank and investment. I go
camping regardless of weather conditions about 120+ days a year. I have a 21' RV
which I use sometimes and 30 tents of various sizes, shapes and designs which I
modify each one for my needs. I camp all over the USA and keeping my devices charged
up is of great importance. I remote into my clients so I depend on recharging my 2
laptops, hotspots and other gear. I used it while on a 3 week camping trip to HOT
Arizona for a gathering. I recharged 4 Action cameras, 4 Mavic Pro batteries,
iPhone6, six 18650 batteries for 12v Fan, and 10000mah portable battery pack. When
the Explorer 500Wh Power Station was at 45% charge, I would set solar panels outside
7:30am and reposition them thru out the day and was at 100% by 5:30pm on sunny no
cloud days. If you look at the picture of shade on the panel, it was still charging
whereas most panels will not charge at all when shade is on even 10% of some panels.
The 3 Jackery solar panels kits I have are well made. As my device charging
requirements have increased, I love Jackery so much I purchased Jackery SolarSaga
100W Portable Monocrystalline Solar Panel version 1 and version 2 and glad I did.
The Jackery SolarSaga 100W Portable Monocrystalline Solar Panel gives me power
outdoors and offers a high conversion efficiency up to 23% which really good.
It provides 100W peak power, 18V Max, 5.5Amps power current, 21.6V open
circuit voltage, 6.1Amp short circuit current, 23% cell efficiency, operating
temperature range is 14F/149F, 64 cells, rated lifecycle is 10+ years, version 1
2 built-in USB Type A ports, (version 2 has 1 USB-A 5V/2.4A, 1 USB-C 5V/3A),
weight is 5.5Lbs (version 2 weighs 8.74Lbs) on my scale, closed dimensions are
21.6" x 22" x .2". I do not have much room in my 21' motorhome so storage is
important. That being said, this solar panel kit is small, compact and lightweight.
I matched this 100W kit with my Jackery Explorer 500 which has 518Wh Lithium
battery and is packed with features like 110V/500W AC outlet, carport at 12V/10A,
3 Type-A USB 5V/2A (20watts max) ports and a backlit digital display showing
input/output/battery status. Everyone should have some alternative in case of
emergency or a power outage. This SolarSaga 100W solar panel is designed with a
nice rubbery carry handles, two 50W panels in a portable, durable self-contained
canvas type material enclosure with a 2 kick-stands to prop it up to face the sun
at different angles as I move it around pointing it towards the sun thru-out my day.
It comes with a 8mm cable which measures 20.5" from tip to tip on one side is an
Anderson connector and other side is a male 8mm connector to plug into female port on
the panel. When opened and setup on the 2 included attached kickstands are 2-50W
panels-one on each side, one 3 meter/9 foot extension cord with Anderson connectors
on each end. Simply attach cable to the 20.5" cable to the panel and 8 Millimeter
female port on the other end. On the panel there is an LED light which will
illuminate when charging. There is a tag inside the case with the specifications
on it and a water-resistant zipper across the pouch to store the cables when not
in use. It has a 2 year warranty and the best technical support and customer
service in the industry. I made my own extension cable to extend the distance
to 35 feet and works perfectly. To clean it use a soft bristle brush to remove
dust, then use a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust/dirt/guano/bird droppings.
This 100W panel kit is not rated as being waterproof, it drizzled/sprinkled on
mine a couple times and continues to work perfectly. In case of high wind, I use
the built-in grommets and tie it off to the side of my RV. Yes the solar panels
are a little pricey, but they are well worth it. They are very convenient, well
made, foldable which take up a smaller foot print when not in use, tough and
rugged, and do the job as described. Being able to charge multiple devices at the
same time such the my iPhone, 2 hotspots, 2 laptops, iPad4 tablet, 4 Mavic Pro
batteries and 4 action cameras, etc. Using SolarSaga 100W panel kit, In my
experience you rarely get 8-10 hours of perfect sun each day, that's why it will
vary in charging times, however, in summer good full sun 6-8 hours charging my
Explorer 240 and 10-12 hours charging my Explorer 500. You can charge a variety
of batteries using this 100W solar panel kit and you can make or order Anderson
Connector to MC4 connector adapters. I am able to charge anywhere with good sun
WITHOUT having to carry 5 gallon gasoline and my heavy loud smelly 2200watt
inverter generator making my setup eco-Friendly, compact, lightweight and very
manageable. As a pair, the Jackery 100W SolarSaga panel kit and Jackery Explorer
500W Lithium Portable Power Station it truly is a portable plug and play power
station I give it 2 thumbs up!
