OptiSolex 400W Portable SolarBag Kit can charge batteries (solar charge controllers are required) and portable power stations. Just ensure the open circuit voltage of the solar panel does not exceed the maximum DC input voltage of any connected power stations or solar charge controllers. can charge batteries (solar charge controllers are required) and portable power stations. Just ensure the open circuit voltage of the solar panel does not exceed the maximum DC input voltage of any connected power stations or solar charge controllers.
It's not hard at all. The choice of battery/power station connection is slightly different and requires no complex electrical knowledge. Most users can complete the installation in 5-15 minutes following the tutorial and instructions.
No professional tools are required and all accessories are included in the set. The manual can be provided with the steps of pictures and words.
Yes. Each 200W panel provides 3 outlets:Device support: Mobile (1-2 hours full) , tablet (2-3 hours) , laptop (2.5-4 hours) .Note: high-power equipment (e. g. refrigerators) must be relayed through batteries or power stations.
Depends on battery capacity, sunlight intensity and other factors.For example, a 200Ah battery (12V) can be fully charged in about 5-6 hours under ideal sunlight. Overcast hours may be extended by up to 30% . Power generation status can be viewed in real time via the APP (Bluetooth connection to S 1 module is required) .Specific formulas can be used to estimate:Formula:Battery Capacity(X wh=VxAh)/Input Power(W)x 1.2 or more for buffer
The system automatically detects 12V, 24V, and 48V batteries.When using a 12V battery, the total open-circuit voltage of the solar panels must be ≥15V.Example: A single panel with an open-circuit voltage of 10V cannot charge a 12V battery (since 10V < 15V). However, connecting two such panels in series (e.g., via two S1 ports) will yield a total open-circuit voltage of 20V, making charging possible.For a 24V battery, the total solar open-circuit voltage must be ≥36V.For a 48V battery, the total solar open-circuit voltage must be ≥72V.Important Note:Each controller has a maximum voltage tolerance of 50V. Therefore, when using a single controller or parallel S1 connections, the input voltage per group must not exceed 50V.As a result, for 48V battery systems, only series connections are allowed. Single S1 units or parallel configurations cannot be used.
We suggest no. Walking on a solar panel can put too much pressure on a small area, potentially causing cracks and damage to the panel.
There are mounting holes, leakage holes, and ground holes on the frame of each component.
The component itself is equipped with a junction box connector output voltage. To access the off-grid system, you'll need to purchase appropriate additional wiring.
It is not recommended and must be used in accordance with the instructions.
It can be used, but must be connected to a controller. When selecting the controller, it is necessary to adapt the maximum component input power that the controller can access (not exceeding).
In the case of STC, the power generation is the product of standard power and time (W*H).
Positive and negative labels are marked on the connector heads of the component connectors.
The open voltage is a standard value, which is determined by the physical characteristics of photovoltaic modules.
The main difference is in the efficiency of the cells used, resulting in different power generation efficiency. High-power modules require fewer quantities to meet demand, making installation and wiring more convenient.
Yes, but it is recommended to expand the system by adding the same solarbag. Also make sure that the input to the PV port of the expanded system meets the requirements of the controller.
They are monocrystalline modules.
This solarbag can not be charged directly to the socket, because it does not provide AC power.
This solarbag supports 12V/24V battery system.
Use alligator clips can be directly connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery to complete the function of charging, pay attention to the correct polarity of the alligator clips, otherwise it will damage the product.
The extension cable between the component and the component is kept with the same specifications as the component connector wiring. At the same time, be careful not to extend the cable more than 2M, because the longer the extension cable, the higher the line loss, and the temperature of the cable will rise and there is a safety hazard. For the extension cable connected to the controller after series/parallel connection of the components, please confirm the specification of the extension cable according to the current of the components after series and parallel connection.
Those straps are designed for storage. They make it easy to secure and stow the SolarBag after you've split it into two separate 200W solar panels.
Anti-shadow technology ensures efficient power generation. Traditional system veneer shading leads to overall efficiency degradation; whereas SolexBrick S1 optimizes independently for each board, maintaining 100% output power for the other boards even with partial shading.
Operating temperature range: -40 °Fー149 °FHeavy rain/dust is still working normally.
Not at all. OptiSolex 200W Mountable Solar Kit is designed for 3-step plug-and-play setup: snap in the S1 → connect panels → plug into battery/power station—with visual instructions and a setup video included. Most users complete setup in 15–20 minutes.
Yes. Combine panels of any brand, wattage, or type. S1’s distributed MPPT ensures each panel performs at its maximum, eliminating compatibility issues.
Simply connect each SolexBrick S1 directly to a solar panel via MC4 connectors—no expertise required. The 3-step setup (attach S1 to panel, link panels, connect to battery) takes minutes. No bulky central controller or complex wiring is needed.
MPPT advantages: S1's 4-channel design boosts reliability and stability, InstantMax ensures real-time peak efficiency, panel optimization maximizes output under shade, and intelligent system sync connects units seamlessly.
No. S1 controllers require mutual communication and compatibility. Other MPPT controllers are not compatible. If you wish to incorporate additional solar panels, we recommend purchasing more S1 units for greater flexibility.
Yes, it can be installed outdoors. The S1 controller is rated IP68 for water resistance, but should not be submerged. When installing outside, avoid direct sunlight (e.g., mount it on the back of a solar panel). Proper usage conditions and operating environment will help maximize performance and lifespan.
No. This controller is designed specifically for battery charging and cannot power loads directly, as it does not provide stable output power. Connect DC loads directly to the battery, or use an inverter to connect AC loads to the battery.
The controller may become warm during operation. Since the housing is metal, its surface temperature can reach 60°C–70°C, and may be even higher under direct sunlight. This is normal. ⚠️ Do not touch the surface during operation—it may cause burns, especially in sunny conditions.
If the system stops charging or shuts down unexpectedly: Safe shutdown: Before performing any operations, always disconnect the PV panel input first, then disconnect the battery. Never perform live operations!

It will vary depending on the battery you are using.Can be estimated using the following formula.Formula:Battery Capacity(X wh=VxAh)/Input Power(W)x 1.2 or more for buffer e.g. If the output of Solarbag 400 is around 380, a 12.8V 100AH battery(1280AH）can be fully charged in 1280/380 = 3.3 hours. Due to the weather may it be longer like 3.3 hour x 1.2=4hours. Normally a 100Ah battery can be fully charged half day. And in good weather the OptiSolex 400W Portable SolarBag can help you to charge 200Ah 12V Battery for daily use.
