Catch the sun.
Match your power station.
Compare six portable panels from EcoFlow, Jackery and BLUETTI. See price, useful daily-energy estimates and suggested pairings with our nine power stations.
Prices are for one standalone panel, in USD, before tax, shipping or extra cables. Combined costs below add the two standalone prices; manufacturer bundles may cost less. Stock and prices can change. These are ordinary manufacturer links; affiliate commissions are not active.
100–110 W · portable
A middle ground for short trips and lower daily use. About 300–330 Wh in our four-sun-hour example, before station limits.
200–220 W · more harvest
About 600–660 Wh in the same example. Still below our calculator’s 751 Wh daily battery budget including its reserve for the default camp.
Compare price and daily energy.
Panel watts are generation capacity; station watt-hours are storage. The figures below assume four peak sun hours and a 75% yield factor. They are panel-side planning estimates before station clipping, not guaranteed energy or full-charge times.

What does your panel budget buy?
Cost per rated watt is purchase price divided by rated watts. Lower is cheaper per rated watt, not a verdict on quality or real-world yield.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
$669 station + $399 panel = $1,068 USD
One panel on one solar input. Compatible electrical ratings; 220 W does not use the station’s full solar-input capability.
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max
$879 station + $399 panel = $1,278 USD

MC4 leads → the station’s model-specific BLUETTI solar charging cable. Confirm package contents.
Suggested power stations
BLUETTI AC180
$449 station + $349 panel = $798 USD
Explicitly listed by the panel manufacturer. Use the AC180 solar cable; its 10 A input can limit panel output. Do not assume a sustained 200 W.
BLUETTI Elite 200 V2
$899 station + $349 panel = $1,248 USD
Explicitly listed by the panel manufacturer. One panel is a simple top-up option, well below this station’s 1,000 W input capability.
No researched pairing matches these filters. This does not mean the products are incompatible. Choose “All brands” to see our suggestions for this station.
Will one panel keep up with your trip?
Our default camp uses 532 Wh/day at the devices. At 85% delivery efficiency and a 20% planning margin, its daily battery-energy target is about 751 Wh. Four peak sun hours and a 75% solar yield factor suggest around 251 W of panels. Even a compatible 220 W panel can fall short of that budget; carry enough stored energy or reduce your loads.
Formula: panel rated watts × peak sun hours × yield factor. At two peak sun hours, halve the four-hour examples above. Input current limits, shading, temperature and charge taper can reduce the result further. Battery size alone does not determine the right panel.
Work out your daily power budget →Before you connect
- Verify your exact regional station and panel revision. Some manufacturers reuse a product name for changed specifications.
- Keep cold-corrected open-circuit voltage below the station’s maximum. Cold panels can produce higher voltage than their label’s standard-condition figure.
- Use the manufacturer-specified solar cable and polarity. A physically matching plug does not establish electrical compatibility.
- The pairings here use one panel. Do not turn them into series or parallel arrays without checking the whole array’s voltage, current, wiring and the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Keep the station and cable junctions dry and within their rated operating temperatures.
How we selected these pairings
We favoured simple same-brand connections and linked the exact panel listing and station specification source alongside each match. Jackery’s 300 v2/40 Air and larger SolarSaga combinations are manufacturer-offered pairings. BLUETTI lists AC180 and Elite 200 V2 on the SP200L page; the SP100L shortlist also checks Elite 30 V2’s lower voltage limit. EcoFlow matches use published panel and station input ratings. These are researched recommendations, not hands-on certifications or an exhaustive compatibility matrix.
For Jackery Explorer 2000 v2, use the standard model’s 400 W total solar limit: some store sections mix in other models’ higher limits. For DELTA 3 Max, use the standard Max specifications, not Max Plus. The EcoFlow-authored Max manual (retailer-hosted PDF) is the reference for that distinction.
