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.

30W Panel Junction Box (Standard on BF-PV-F30W):
  • DC output: 3A, unregulated, with 5A reverse-polarity diode
  • USB-A QC 3.0: 18W max (5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A)
  • Output connector: DC5521
  • Protocol support: Apple 2.4A, Samsung 2A, DCP 1.5A, QC 2.0, QC 3.0, Samsung AFC 9V
  • Included accessories: 0.75mm² DC5521 cable, MC4 adapter, carabiner
60W/100W Panel Junction Box (Standard on BF-PV-F60W and BF-PV-F100W):
  • XT60 DC output: 18V, 15A max, MOSFET reverse-polarity protection
  • Type-C PD 3.0: 60W output (5V / 9V / 12V / 15V / 20V at 3A)
  • Dual USB-A QC 3.0 (orange): 18W max each (5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A)
  • Protocol support: BC1.2, Apple, Samsung, QC 2.0, QC 3.0
  • Included accessories: 0.75mm² DC5521 cable + MC4 adapter, 2mm² XT60 cable, XT60-to-MC4 cable, 2× carabiners
200W/400W Panel Junction Box (Optional Add-On):
  • Dimensions: 105 × 62 × 17 mm
  • Input voltage range: DC 6-28V
  • DC output: 6A max, unregulated, with 20A reverse-polarity diode
  • Type-C PD 3.0: 60W output (5V / 9V / 12V / 15V / 20V at 3A)
  • Dual USB-A QC 3.0 (orange): 18W max each
  • Protocol support: BC1.2, Apple, Samsung, QC 2.0, QC 3.0

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.
ParameterBF-PV-F FoldableBF-PV-P Rigid Glass
PortabilityFolds to 50-75% smaller, 1-12 kgFixed size, heavier per watt (tempered glass + aluminum frame)
DeploymentUnfold in 30 seconds, carabiner mountPermanent rack/roof mount, hardware needed
DurabilityETFE/PET lamination, suited for intermittent useTempered glass + aluminum frame, 25-year outdoor rated
WaterproofingPanel rain-resistant; junction box not submersibleIP65 sealed throughout
Output InterfaceIntegrated quick-charge box (USB / PD / XT60)MC4 DC output only
Ideal ForCamping, RV, emergency response, mobile chargingRooftop install, off-grid power plants, permanent outdoor facilities
Shipping5x more units per container (folded packaging)Bulky, fragile glass packaging
Verdict: Choose BF-PV-F foldable if your customer needs portability and plug-and-play deployment. Choose BF-PV-P rigid glass if your customer needs permanent installation and 25-year outdoor durability. Both series are voltage-compatible with our entire BF-PPS power station lineup.

Which Model Fits Your Application?

We designed the BF-PV-F lineup to cover the full range of portable solar use cases — from a 1 kg day-hike charger to a 12 kg construction-site power plant. Use this matrix to match your end-user scenario to the right SKU.

For distributors building retail bundles: The BF-PV-F60W paired with the BF-PPS-300W and the BF-PV-F100W paired with the BF-PPS-600W are our two best-selling kit combinations. We can pre-package panel + power station + cables into a single retail-ready box with your branding. Contact our sales team for kit pricing. For project buyers sourcing fleet deployments: The BF-PV-F100W offers the best balance of output, weight, and folded size for field operations where personnel carry equipment between sites. For base-camp or vehicle-mounted applications where weight is less critical, the BF-PV-F200W or BF-PV-F400W delivers significantly more energy per deployment.

How to Order: From Inquiry to Delivery

Step 1: Select Your Model and Quantity

Tell us which models you need, in what quantities, and for which market. We will provide FOB pricing, MOQ guidance, and lead time estimates. Response time: within 24 hours.

Step 2: Sample Evaluation

Order 1-2 sample units per model to test in your environment. Sample shipping worldwide via DHL/FedEx. We recommend testing solar output under local sunlight conditions, junction box charging performance, and fold/unfold durability. Sample cost applies toward your first bulk order.

Step 3: Bulk Order and Production

Confirm specifications, quantity, packaging, and branding requirements. We issue a proforma invoice. Payment: T/T 40% deposit, 60% balance before shipment (or as agreed in the contract). Production lead time: 15-30 days for standard models, 25-45 days for OEM/custom orders. Lead time depends on order specifications and quantity.

Step 4: Quality Inspection and Shipping

Every production batch undergoes output power verification, junction box function test, and folding hinge inspection. We send QC photos and test reports before packing. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) welcome at our factory. We handle export documentation and customs paperwork.

Step 5: Delivery

FOB, CIF, or DDP to your port or warehouse. Foldable panels pack efficiently — approximately 5x more units per container compared to rigid glass panels of equivalent wattage. We provide professional packing with foam inserts to protect junction boxes and folding hinges during transit.
