Skip to product information
This 30W semi-flexible solar panel provides a portable power solution for outdoor and off-grid applications. With dual output voltages of 5V and 18V, it can charge mobile phones directly via USB or power larger devices through its 18V connection. Measuring 125cm, the panel is designed for portability while delivering enough power for various outdoor electronics, from sports cameras to automotive battery maintenance. Unlike integrated power banks, this panel generates power directly from sunlight with a 1600mAh capacity, making it suitable for extended outdoor use where traditional charging isn't available.
The 30W solar panel uses a semi-flexible construction that balances durability with portability for outdoor conditions. This design makes it suitable for temporary setups during activities like camping, hiking, or remote work, where rigid panels would be impractical.
The panel's dual voltage output expands its application range from small personal electronics to larger power systems. The 18V output makes it compatible with automotive batteries and larger power supplies, while the 5V USB output covers everyday mobile devices.
The panel's value comes from its ability to provide power independently of the electrical grid, reducing reliance on mains electricity for portable devices. This independence is particularly valuable during outdoor activities, travel, or in situations where traditional power sources are unavailable or unreliable.

30W Semi-Flexible Solar Charging Panel with 18V and USB Output for Outdoor Power
Features and Construction
Material and Build
The semi-flexible solar cells are housed in a weather-resistant material that can withstand outdoor exposure. This construction allows the panel to be more portable than rigid alternatives while maintaining the electrical efficiency needed for device charging. The panel includes a USB output port for direct connection to phones and other 5V devices, with wiring designed to handle the 1600mA current output.Size and Practical Fit
With a 125cm dimension, this solar panel offers a compact footprint that can be easily transported and positioned for optimal sun exposure. The size provides enough surface area to generate 30W of power while remaining manageable for individual use. This makes it suitable for placement on backpacks, vehicle dashboards, or temporary outdoor setups where space is limited.Uses and Placement
Event or Professional Use
For professional or event applications, the panel can power sports cameras, monitoring equipment, or communication devices in remote locations. The 18V output allows connection to automotive batteries, making it useful for maintaining power in vehicles, caravans, or boats during extended stationary periods. When combined with an appropriate charge controller (available from 10A to 100A), it can integrate into existing 12V or 24V systems.Everyday Home Use
For everyday applications, the USB output provides direct charging for mobile phones, tablets, and power banks without requiring additional converters. The panel can be positioned in gardens, on balconies, or near windows to provide supplemental power for devices. Its portability means it can be moved to follow the sun throughout the day, maximising charging efficiency during daylight hours.Benefits and Buying Value
Reuse and Low Maintenance
With no moving parts and minimal electronics beyond the solar cells themselves, the panel requires little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning of the surface. The semi-flexible construction resists damage from mild impacts that might crack rigid panels, supporting reuse across multiple seasons or applications. Properly stored when not in use, the panel can provide power for various devices over time without requiring replacement parts.Why Choose This Product
This solar panel offers a practical balance of power output and portability at 30W and 125cm. The inclusion of both USB and 18V outputs makes it versatile for different device types, from phones to automotive systems. Unlike all-in-one power banks, it generates power continuously in sunlight rather than storing a limited charge, making it suitable for extended outdoor stays. The requirement for a separate charge controller allows users to match the system to their specific battery or application needs.
