The NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel in brief

A 21.3 V open-circuit rating keeps the EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel low enough for small inputs. It reads 23.2 V at 14°F, which is inside the limits of the Jackery Explorer 300 v2 at 28 V, and of the Explorer 300 Plus at 27 V with an MC4 to USB-C adapter. On 60 V stations, two in series reach 46.3 V. The panel gives 160 W, with 9.1 A of short-circuit current, 25% efficiency and IP68, at 12.3 lb.

FAQ

Can the NextGen 160W Portable charge a Jackery Explorer 300 v2?

Yes within the limits. The station's 28 V ceiling sits above the panel's 23.2 V at 14°F, and an MC4 to DC8020 cable is needed.

How many NextGen 160W Portable panels fit in series on a HomePower 3600 Plus?

Two, reading 46.3 V at 14°F against the 60 V limit.
