All Things On 100W Solar Panel Kits
How to choose one that fits you?
From Types, size, price, watt power to what can 100w solar panel run.
About 100w solar panel types.
First, you should know what kind of solar panels you consider. We know monocrystalline solar cell is better than polycrystalline. But then what type of 100w solar panel you should choose? There are these mainstream types on market:
100W PET Solar Panel
100W ETFE Solar Panel
100W Glass Solar Panel
100W PET Solar Panel
100W ETFE Solar Panel
100W Glass Solar Panel
Upside & downside of three types.
| Upside | Downside | |
|---|---|---|
| 100W PET | Affordable; Lightweight | Less Durable (3~5 years lifespan) |
| 100W EFTE | Flexible & Lightweight; Anti-corrosion; Durable (over 8 years lifespan) | Expensive |
| 100W Glass | Ultra-durable (around 20 years lifespan); Affordable | Heavy and Bulky |
Size & weight of a 100w solar panel.
A 100w solar panel can be either foldable or mountable. Most foldable 100w solar panel consists of multiple panels folds, its folded size vary. As for mountable 100w solar panels, mostly they are non-foldable, regular a rigid 100w panel is around 48 x 20 x 1.2 in (LxWxH), and weight is around 15 lbs. Compared with a rigid 100w solar panel, a foldable PET/EFTE solar panel is aways much more lighter.
What can a 100w solar panel run?
It depends on the integrated output ports of the solar panel and included charging cables. Many mountable rigid 100w solar panels include MC4 cable. As for PET/EFTE 100w panels, they can be euqipped with USB, DC ports, some with Type-C output port. And some are included Anderson cable and alligator claps. Most 100w solar panel can charge 12V batteries (lead-acid), and portable power stations. But you do need to pay attention to the DC input pecification of your battery, and what are the cables included in the solar panel kits.

FAQs?
It depends on the material and technology of the 100w solar panel. Regularly, the cost of a glass 100w solar panel is around $100. But actually, the trational 100w glass solar panel is the cheapest. The PET and EFTE solar panels are more expensive than glass solar panel, and if the solar panel is equipped with USB Type-C, and solar charge controller, the cost will increase.
