Find compatible solar panels for your portable power station
Select power station
Mode
Ranks every panel and configuration with a 1–10 score based on your priorities. Best overall pick shown first across all panel types.
Quick compatibility check — shows single, 2× series and 2× parallel for each panel, plus max series/parallel limits and real operating voltage. Good for deciding if a panel works at all with your station.

Wattage
Cold-weather Voc
Cold-weather Voc safety margin
Panels produce higher Voc in cold weather — sometimes 10–25% above the rated value. Setting a margin lowers the effective Voc ceiling so string voltage stays safe when temperatures drop.
Off — No margin. Only use if you have verified your exact operating conditions.
−25% — Conservative / DIY recommendation for unknown climates or very cold regions.
Goal
Allow overpanelling
Overpanelling means total panel wattage exceeds the station's limit (max watt) or your target (target watt). The MPPT clips at its maximum — excess is unused but not harmful.

Panel count importance
Allow overpanelling (clipping)
Overpanelling means using panels whose combined rated wattage exceeds the station's solar input limit. The MPPT controller clips input at its maximum — excess capacity is unused but not harmful. Useful in low-light conditions where real output is well below peak. Typical clipping loss at peak sun: 5–20%.
Overpanelling range (% above station limit)
Only clipped configurations where combined wattage is between min% and max% above the station's input limit are shown. Example: 150W on a 100W station = 50% over limit.

How scores work
40%Wattage
Are you filling your station's solar capacity — or hitting your target wattage? Higher output = higher score.
30%Voltage quality
Is the panel voltage working efficiently in your station's charging range, with a safe margin below the limit?
15%Balance
Even series/parallel splits (e.g. 2S2P) are more efficient than lopsided ones (e.g. 1S4P).
0–15%Panel count
Fewer panels = simpler wiring. Weight set by you on the left.
5%Connector
Small bonus for direct plug-in — no adapter needed.
Below 2 = Not recommended. Hover any score to see a full breakdown.
