Design, Dimensions And Build
The BougeRV New 100W Portable Solar Panel is a soft briefcase-style folding panel that opens into a four-segment array and packs down for transport with an integrated handle and kickstands. On BougeRV's US site, the panel is described as a foldable camping and off-grid solution with XT60, DC7909 and DC5521 outputs built into the junction box, allowing direct connection to compatible power stations and DC devices without separate adapters.BougeRV lists the 100W panel as a foldable N-type TOPCon IP65 portable solar panel with multiple DC outputs.
The product weight is stated as 3.15 kg, which BougeRV converts to 6.9 lb, keeping it under 7 lb and manageable for single-person setup and transport.The specification table lists a product weight of 3.15KG/6.9lbs for the panel. When unfolded, the panel footprint is documented at 45.0x23.0x1.0 inches, giving a broad surface area while remaining under 2 feet in width for typical campsite setups.BougeRV specifies unfolded dimensions of 45.0x23.0x1.0 inches. Folded, the panel compresses into a 23.0x22.4x1.2 inch form factor that fits in RV storage compartments or car trunks without dominating space.The same data table lists folded dimensions of 23.0x22.4x1.2 inches.
Electrical Performance And Output
At the heart of the BougeRV New 100W Portable Solar Panel are N-type TOPCon solar cells with a quoted efficiency of 25%, which BougeRV positions as a step up from conventional mono PERC cells in this power class.BougeRV states a solar cells efficiency of 25% Maximum power rating is documented as 100W±5%, giving a nominal 100W output under standard test conditions, with some tolerance for higher or lower production depending on manufacturing and operating conditions.The panel's maximum power (Pmax) is specified as 100W±5%.
For practical electrical characteristics, BougeRV lists a maximum power voltage (Vmp) of 18V±5% and a maximum power current (Imp) of 5.56A±5%, aligning the panel with common 12V-class battery and power station inputs that expect an 18V operating point.The specification sheet lists Vmp at 18V±5% and Imp at 5.56A±5% The open circuit voltage (Voc) is given as 21V±5%, while short circuit current (Isc) is documented at 6.11A±5%, values that sit within the typical band for 100W portable panels designed to feed modern charge controllers.BougeRV lists an open circuit voltage of 21V±5% and short circuit current of 6.11A±5%. Maximum system voltage is specified at 600V DC, so arrays of panels can be wired into larger systems as long as string voltage remains within that limit.The product page documents a max system voltage of 600V DC.
To keep the panel functioning in typical outdoor conditions, BougeRV specifies an IP65 rating, which indicates dust protection and defense against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making the panel suitable for rain exposure and splash scenarios on campgrounds.BougeRV highlights the 100W portable panel as IP65 rated The operating temperature window around typical off-grid use is documented as compatible with hot and cold outdoor environments, although the detailed temperature range is not emphasized in the US-facing summary text and remains within the usual -4°F to +140°F band for comparable BougeRV portable products.
Compatibility And Connectors
The BougeRV New 100W Portable Solar Panel is built to connect to a range of devices via integrated output options, allowing users to charge power stations and DC loads without additional connector kits. The listed connectors include XT60, DC7909 and DC5521, supporting popular portable power station brands that adopt XT60 or DC barrel inputs.BougeRV describes the 100W portable panel as a foldable XT60/DC7909/DC5521 camping off-grid solution The panel is described as off-grid oriented, meant for camping, RVs and outdoor activities, rather than permanent rooftop or rigid-frame mounting.
