Jackery SolarSaga 500 X Solar Panel

The Jackery SolarSaga 500 X is Jackery's highest-output portable solar panel, built for users who demand maximum charging performance without committing to a permanently mounted solar array. Delivering 500 watts of rated solar power, the SolarSaga 500 X is designed to rapidly recharge large-capacity power stations like the Explorer 2000 V2, HomePower 3000, HomePower 3600 Plus, Explorer 3000 Pro, and Explorer 5000 Plus, making it an outstanding solution for home backup, RVs, off-grid living, emergency preparedness, and professional job sites.

Unlike traditional folding solar panels, the SolarSaga 500 X features a modular six-panel accordion design. Each section folds into a compact package for transportation while providing an expansive solar collection surface once deployed. The panel sets up in minutes and includes adjustable support legs to optimize sunlight exposure throughout the day. While portable, the SolarSaga 500 X is intended for temporary deployment and is not designed for permanent rooftop installation.

At the heart of the SolarSaga 500 X are high-efficiency bifacial TOPCon monocrystalline solar cells capable of capturing sunlight from both the front and reflected light from the rear of the panel. This increases overall energy production while delivering conversion efficiencies of up to 25%, allowing your compatible Jackery power station to recharge significantly faster than smaller solar panels.

Built for demanding outdoor environments, the SolarSaga 500 X carries an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating and operates in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 185°F, making it suitable for virtually any climate. Despite producing an impressive 500 watts of solar power, the complete panel weighs only about 22 pounds, making it surprisingly manageable for a panel of this size.

Whether you're preparing for extended blackouts, running an off-grid cabin, charging a large portable power station during disaster response, or building a high-output mobile solar system, the SolarSaga 500 X provides Jackery's fastest portable solar charging solution.
