We manufacture 5 models of foldable portable solar panels at our Fujian facility. Every panel uses monocrystalline silicon cells — the highest-efficiency commercially available cell chemistry — laminated into a compact foldable package that reduces transport volume by 50-75% compared to rigid glass panels. Our lineup spans two voltage tiers: the 18V compact series (BF-PV-F30W, BF-PV-F60W, BF-PV-F100W) for 12V-system devices, and the 36V high-power series (BF-PV-F200W, BF-PV-F400W) for 24V-system devices and larger power stations. The 30W, 60W, and 100W models include an integrated quick-charge junction box with USB-C PD 60W and USB QC 3.0 outputs — charge phones, tablets, and laptops directly from sunlight without any battery in between. We ship to campers, RV travelers, off-grid installers, and emergency preparedness distributors worldwide.
Our panels pair seamlessly with the BF-PPS portable power station series — no adapters, no voltage converters. The 18V panels connect directly to the BF-PPS-300W and BF-PPS-600W via DC5521 or XT60. The 36V panels connect to the BF-PPS-1500W and BF-PPS-3000W via XT60 or MC4. The BF-PV-F series is also compatible with third-party power stations and charge controllers using standard XT60 and MC4 connectors — no proprietary lock-in.
Portable Solar Panel Specifications
All models use monocrystalline silicon cells for maximum energy conversion per square centimeter. The 18V and 36V tiers are designed for different battery voltage systems — choose the tier that matches your power station or charge controller input range.
18V Compact Series (30W / 60W / 100W)
The compact series targets personal electronics, small power stations, and direct USB device charging. Every model includes a built-in quick-charge junction box with USB and PD outputs — no external charger or battery required for phone and laptop charging.

36V High-Power Series (200W / 400W)
The high-power series targets large power stations, 24V battery systems, and grid-tie micro-inverters. These panels output raw DC via XT60 and MC4 connectors — a charge controller or compatible power station is required to regulate voltage for end devices.

Quick-Charge Junction Box Specifications
The quick-charge junction box is an integrated charging hub built into the panel frame. It converts raw solar DC into regulated outputs for USB devices — no external charge controller needed for personal electronics.

The optional quick-charge box for the 200W and 400W panels attaches to the panel frame and taps the XT60 output. This allows direct USB device charging from the high-power panels without a separate power station — useful for field teams running laptops and communication equipment.
Protocol compatibility matters for resellers. End users of portable solar panels arrive with phones and tablets from every brand and generation. BC1.2 covers all legacy BC-compliant devices (most Android phones pre-2017). Apple 2.4A delivers full-speed charging to iPhones and iPads without the "not charging" warning that appears with underspecified chargers. Samsung AFC and Samsung 2A cover Galaxy line devices. QC 2.0 / 3.0 handles Qualcomm-based Android phones up to 18W. PD 3.0 (60W/100W panels only) handles modern laptops, iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and USB-C Android flagships. This breadth of protocol support eliminates the "my phone won't charge from your solar panel" support calls that plague cheaper panels with single-protocol chipsets.Foldable vs Rigid Glass Panels: Which Is Right for Your Application?
We produce both the BF-PV-F foldable series and the BF-PV-P rigid glass series. The two form factors serve fundamentally different markets — this comparison helps you recommend the right type to your customers or choose correctly for your project deployment.| Parameter | BF-PV-F Foldable | BF-PV-P Rigid Glass |
