A panel is only as useful as its match to your station's input limit and your patience in the sun. We track 10 portable panels and score each 0-10 on rated output, conversion efficiency, and portability. This page keeps those scores and adds the pairing logic that decides real refill speed.

The shortlist
Match the panel to the station first, then to the backpack.
Jackery
9.0 of 10, the top panel score we track: 200 W rated, 25% efficiency, IP68, 13.67 lbs. Rated for Jackery stations.

FlexSolar
4.1 lbs and 23% efficiency with broad compatibility out of the box. The low score card above is the tradeoff for that weight.

Pairing rule
Every station caps incoming solar at its rated input: the tracked 288 Wh units accept 100 to 200 W, the 1 kWh class 400 to 600 W, and the largest unit 2,600 W. A 200 W panel on a 100 W-input station still harvests at 100 W, so oversizing the panel past the limit buys nothing.
Connector and voltage windows come second. The compatibility column above is what each manufacturer states; confirm the plug standard on both spec sheets before mixing brands.
Field reality
The refill arithmetic on our 1 kWh guide divides capacity by rated input and calls the result ideal-sun hours. Real harvest depends on panel angle, season, and weather, so treat every hour figure on this site as a best case, not a promise.
On sealing: IP68 is the stronger rating on paper among the tracked panels, IP67 follows, and unrated models are fair-weather gear. The table shows exactly which is which, with — where the maker states nothing.
