Jackery SolarSaga 60W Solar Panel for Explorer 160/240/500 as Portable Solar Generator, Portable Foldable Solar Charger for Summer Camping Van RV(Cant Charge Explorer 440/ PowerPro)

bought during prime day for a good value. Used it a couple times to charge a phone and it works well. Worried about durability long-term with the panels but the setup appears to be as solid as it can be due to the fragility of the panels that can’t really be avoided. Wish the kick stand was a little more sturdy but it does it’s job.

I debated whether or not to buy a cheaper panel than the Jackery. Ultimately, I decided the kickstands, the magnetic closure, the ability to charge usb and USB-c directly from the panel, and the proper charging input without the need for an adapter for my 240 were worth the price. I dont have other panels to compare it to, but I can say that, so far, I am 100% happy I chose the SolarSaga. For one, I didnt realize that its actually a 68w vs a 60w panel. Im testing it as we speak and am currently getting 65w out of it when the sun peaks out and 25w when it goes behind the clouds. Thats at 10:30 am. For two, I also didnt realize that my 240 unit could handle that. I thought it topped out at 42w input. Apparently the later models can? During my testing yesterday the unit rose from 0% to 34% in 2 hours. I did have good sun and was getting about 50 watts. Well see what it does when the sun wont come out at all, but so far I can say that is plenty for my use. My wife and I camp every other weekend and never fully drain the 240 in a day, so I think well be able to top it off every day no problem with 2 or 3 hours of mediocre sunshine. That alone makes it a game changer for us. Were going camping again in10 days. Ill update this if Im wrong about any of this.

I recently purchased a Jackery Portable Power Station 300, to use with my CPap machine while camping. After much thought I decided that a solar panel would be good for the days that we do not get away from camp. We had charged the power station up while driving around. I tried it out at home after receiving it. I let the power station get down to 50% power and hooked it up to the solar panel, on a bright sun shining day. It took a little over 2 hours to charge it back up to 100%. I will test it out, while camping in a few weeks. I am very pleased with the Jackery solar panel,and it came with everything I needed, including a case for it to be stored in.

I had this product about two years and it works well as expected. Unfortunately now this solar panel does not charge battery any more, Batter can be charge from wall outlet. This solar panel does not last then it should be.

I ordered this Along with the Jackery 300. Which full Sun it draws in 40 or so amps, plenty to keep it charging while using it to charge our phone and iPads. I would recommend it if your buying a Jackery power unit

This panel is great while camping. I used it for camping and it was great. You need patience because the sun charges as fast as it is clear. There are connectors for different items. I recommend a higher panel if you can afford it.

I bought this with a Jackary 240 this winter and love the 240, but am not thrilled with the Solarsaga 60. When first used in best sun it made 46 watts charging. After that it usually only charges at 40 watts, even in great sun. I have tried angling it, but still cannot get more than 40 to 42 watts now. During its first use several of the solar cells discolored and became lightened. I sent an email to Jackary, but they have not responded. Many people on the Internet say that Jackary does not have the service after sale they once had. This should be sold as a 40 watt solar panel, not a 60 watt !

Worked great

This Jackery SolarSaga 60w is super easy to use. It comes with a 9 feet cable, good for both Jackery 160 and 240 power station. I tried it on a super sunny day and the input is about 34-36w, very similar to a wall charger 38w. Both the panel and power station can get really hot outdoor, best to cover the power station in a shady area to avoid overheat. I also used the portable solar panel on a less sunny morning sun and was able to get a 7w input. Not bad at all. Once it starts charging, the input and output watt will drop back drown to zero. At first I thought the panel is not working, however the LCD power percentage keep going up and stop at 100% once it is fully charge. Have to tilt the panel and find the right angle for the maximum input. Jackery solar saga 60w solar panel is very light weight, only 3.3lb and compact. Perfect for both camping and used as emergency preparedness tools. I always keep it fully charged as it will be ready to used at anytime. The battery will keep it power storage at 100% for many days if you dont use it. Love the product.

Easy to carry, easy to setup, works well to charge Jackery Battery.
