Jackery SolarSaga 100 Air Portable Solar Panel
Jackery SolarSaga 100 Air Portable Solar Panel
The SolarSaga 100 Air is a 100-watt folding solar panel that weighs about 3.2 kg (7.1 lb) — light enough to carry one-handed and pack where a rigid panel won't fit. It folds smaller than a sheet of A2 paper, roughly 17 x 17 x 2 in, and opens to a 22 x 24 in face on an integrated aluminum stand that pops up in about 60 seconds. Stake holes in the legs let you anchor it when the wind comes up.
The cells are dual-sided PERC running at 23% efficiency, so the panel pulls power off both faces — direct sun on the front, reflected and ambient light on the back. It outputs to Jackery power stations over a DC8020 plug (a DC8020-to-DC7909 adapter covers older and smaller units), and two USB ports (USB-A and USB-C) let it charge phones and small devices straight off the panel with no station in the loop.
Rated IP68 for dust and water, it runs from -4°F to 149°F and is built for 4,000 fold cycles. One caveat worth knowing before you buy: it does not recharge the Explorer 240D, 300, 300 v2, or 300D — check your station's solar input first.

Overview
A 100W bifacial folding solar panel built around weight: 3.2 kg (7.1 lb), folds smaller than A2 paper, and stands itself up in about 60 seconds. Charges Jackery power stations over DC8020 and small devices over USB.
Key features
- 100W output from dual-sided PERC cells at 23% efficiency — captures front and reflected light
- 3.2 kg (7.1 lb), folds to roughly 17 x 17 x 2 in, opens to a 22 x 24 in face
- Integrated aluminum kickstand with stake holes; ~60-second setup
- DC8020 output for Jackery stations (DC8020-to-DC7909 adapter for older units), plus USB-A and USB-C for direct device charging
- IP68 dust and water rating; -4°F to 149°F operating range; 4,000 fold cycles
Use cases
Tops up a Jackery power station at camp without the bulk of a rigid panel, and at 3.2 kg it's light enough to clip to a pack and run USB straight to a phone on a day hike. Good fit for overland and off-road trips where pack space and weight are tight.

Which Jackery power stations does it charge, and which won't it?
It outputs over a DC8020 plug to Jackery stations with a DC8020 solar input, and a DC8020-to-DC7909 adapter extends that to older and smaller units. It does not recharge the Explorer 240D, 300, 300 v2, or 300D. Check your station's solar input spec before you buy.
Can it charge a phone without a power station?
Yes. The two USB ports (USB-A and USB-C) charge phones and small devices straight off the panel, no station required. Handy when you only need to top off a phone and don't want to haul the station along.
Is it really waterproof? Can I leave it out in the rain?
The IP68 rating means it handles dust, splashes, and a passing shower fine. It is not meant to be submerged or left soaking. Keep the USB ports dry and wipe them off before plugging anything in.
How heavy is it and how small does it fold?
About 3.2 kg (7.1 lb) per Jackery's spec. It folds to roughly 17 x 17 x 2 in — smaller than a sheet of A2 paper — and opens to a 22 x 24 in face.
Can I link two panels for faster charging?
That depends on your power station, not the panel. Running panels in parallel needs a station that supports multiple or parallel solar inputs plus the right connectors — there's no built-in daisy-chain port on the panel itself. Check your station's solar-input spec.
