Overland Solar Dual USB-C Portable Solar Voltage Regulator
Overland Solar Dual USB-C Portable Solar Voltage Regulator
The Overland Solar Dual USB-C Portable Solar Voltage Regulator takes a solar panel's raw output and conditions it into two USB-C Power Delivery ports. One Mini Anderson input accepts 12-30 VDC from any compatible panel up to 130W. The two USB-C ports negotiate PD profiles up to 20V/5A (100W), stepping down through 15V/3A, 12V/3A, 9V/3A, and 5V/3A as your device asks for less.
There's no battery in the loop. The panel feeds the regulator, the regulator feeds your phone, tablet, headlamp, or USB-C power bank directly. That keeps the kit light: no power station to haul for a quick overnight. The trade-off is honest — it charges while the sun is on the panel and stops when it isn't, so plan around daylight or use it to top off a power bank you run after dark.
It plugs straight into the Bugout 130 and any other Mini Anderson panel, so it drops into an existing Overland Solar setup with no adapters. Two ports mean two devices at once, with combined output limited by how much sun your panel is pulling in.

Overview
A direct-solar voltage regulator that turns a Mini Anderson panel's output into two USB-C PD ports. 12-30 VDC in, up to 100W PD out per port. No battery required.
Key features
- Mini Anderson input, 12-30 VDC, panels up to 130W
- Two USB-C PD outputs: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/5A
- Up to 100W PD on a single port
- Plugs directly into the Bugout 130 and any Mini Anderson panel
- Charges devices directly off the panel — no power station needed
- Backed by Overland Solar's up-to-5-year warranty
Use cases
Built for lightweight, USB-C-only solar kits. Top off phones, tablets, headlamps, or a satellite messenger at camp straight from the panel, or keep it in a bugout bag for charging when there's no power station around. Pairs naturally with the Bugout 130 for a packable solar-to-USB setup.

Do I need a battery or power station to use this?
No. It regulates the panel's output straight to USB-C, so you charge devices directly off the panel. The trade-off is that it only puts out power while the sun is on the panel — there's no storage, so charging stops at night or under heavy cloud.
What size panel can I run into it?
Any Mini Anderson panel up to 130W that stays inside the 12-30 VDC input window. The Bugout 130 is the natural match, but any panel with a Mini Anderson output and voltage in range works.
Can it charge two devices at the same time?
Yes. It has two USB-C PD ports. Combined output is capped by how much power your panel is making in the current sun, so two demanding devices in weak light will each charge slower.
How fast does it charge?
Up to 20V/5A (100W) PD on a single port in good sun, stepping down through 15V/3A, 12V/3A, 9V/3A, and 5V/3A as the device negotiates or the light drops. Real-world rate tracks available sunlight.
Will it work with my existing Bugout cabling?
Yes. Bugout panels output Mini Anderson, which is exactly this regulator's input. Plug it straight in — no adapters needed.
