These SunPower solar cell folding panels have a very high power to weight ratio and when used with the 300/500Wh Super Power Bank are particularly suited to off-grid portable power applications, where there is a need for more than just 5v USB charging. This combined set up is able to run power tools, Video Cameras, CPAP, medical equipment, Drones and most portable devices.
The greater surface area of the 130W (8 square) panel is recommended where there is a need for higher consistent outputs or lower general light conditions, as with the 90W panel, it also has a direct unregulated 20V/6.5A lead from the solar cells to go directly into the 300Wh or the 500Wh Super Power Banks for quicker charging since both have inbuilt MPPT controllers. The inbuilt solar controllers are suitable for charging any 12v Battery.
Hi Tim, I just wanted to let you know that our expedition was a huge success and the MSC gear performed outstandingly. We became the first team to conduct microbial DNA sequencing truly off-grid and it is all down to the solar panels that this was possible. You can find info at http://sledgereport.com - I will certainly be recommending MSC to all future expeditions we interact with!
