Xantrex 100W Solar Portable Kit Product Description
Harness the power of the sun on the go with a reliable solution designed for adventurers, RV enthusiasts, and anyone embracing off-grid living. This foldable kit delivers consistent charging without the hassle of permanent installations, making it perfect for spontaneous trips or everyday backup power needs.
Superior Efficiency Through Cutting-Edge Technology
What sets this kit apart is its advanced PERC mono-crystalline cells paired with 5-busbar design. PERC technology reduces energy loss by passivating the rear of the cells, capturing more sunlight and boosting overall output—often achieving up to 18% efficiency, which outperforms many standard panels in real-world conditions. The 5-busbar configuration minimizes resistance, enhancing durability and ensuring reliable performance even on cloudy days.
Imagine setting up in a shaded campsite and still charging your devices effectively. Users report faster recharge times compared to older 2- or 4-busbar models, thanks to this optimized electron flow.
Complete Plug-and-Play System
Everything you need comes in one compact package. The included 10A PWM charge controller acts as the brain of the operation, using pulse-width modulation to deliver precise, multi-stage charging that extends battery life. Its LCD display shows real-time stats like voltage, current, and battery status, while dual USB ports let you power phones or tablets directly—no extra adapters required.
- Versatile battery connections: SAE for RV ports, ring terminals for secure installs, or clamps for quick setups.
- Adjustable tilting legs optimize sun exposure, potentially increasing daily yield by 20-30% depending on your latitude.
- Rugged carrying case protects components during transport, keeping them scratch-free and ready for action.
Setup takes minutes: Unfold, tilt toward the sun, connect, and charge. No tools or wiring expertise needed.
Built for Real Adventures
Whether you're boondocking in the desert, tailgating at events, or preparing for power outages, this lightweight kit shines. Weighing far less than rigid rooftop alternatives, it slips easily into a trunk or storage compartment. Off-grid campers love how it keeps 12V batteries topped up for lights, fans, or fridges, while weekend warriors use it to revive dead group 24 or 27 batteries overnight.
In marine settings, it maintains trolling motor batteries during layovers. The foldable design adapts to boats, tents, or even apartment balconies, proving solar power doesn't require vast space.
Tips for Peak Performance and Longevity
To get the most from your investment, position panels south-facing (in the northern hemisphere) at a 30-45 degree angle during peak sun hours. Clean surfaces gently with a soft brush monthly to remove dust—PERC cells are resilient but thrive when unobstructed. Pair with deep-cycle batteries like AGM or lithium for best results, as the controller's protections prevent overcharge, reverse polarity, and more.
Over five years of warranted reliability means peace of mind, with users often exceeding that through simple care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much power can this kit generate daily?
In optimal conditions with 5 peak sun hours, expect around 500Wh daily—enough to run small appliances, charge multiple devices, or maintain a deep-cycle battery.
Is this kit compatible with lithium batteries?
Yes, the PWM controller supports lithium, AGM, gel, and flooded lead-acid batteries via selectable modes, ensuring safe and efficient charging.
Can I use it to charge while driving?
The panel folds flat for vehicle transport, but disconnect during motion to avoid cable strain. SAE connector works seamlessly with pre-wired RV inputs.
What happens in low-light conditions?
PERC cells excel in diffuse light, providing usable output on overcast days—typically 20-50% of peak, far better than non-PERC alternatives.
How do I store the kit long-term?
Wipe clean, fold flat in the carrying case, and store in a cool, dry place. Disconnect the controller to prevent micro-discharges.
Does it expand for larger systems?
The controller handles up to 10A total, so add panels in parallel for more capacity while staying within limits.
