Anker SOLIX Bifacial Solar Panel

Key features

• Bifacial design collects light from both sides
• N-type cells with over 25 percent efficiency
• IP68 rated against dust and water
• Folds flat and opens onto its own stand

Light from both sides

The rear face picks up light bouncing off snow, sand or concrete, which can add as much as 10 percent more power on a bright day. A plain panel throws all of that away.

Cells that keep working when it gets hot

N-type cells convert over 25 percent of the light that reaches them, and they lose less output as they warm up, which is exactly when an older panel starts to fall away.

Built to be left outside

An IP68 rating and a reinforced aluminium frame mean rain and dust are not a problem. Anker rate the panel for a 10 year life and back it with a 5 year warranty.

Folds flat, stands itself up

It folds down to carry and opens onto its own stand, so there is nothing to prop it against. Two 2.5 m solar cables and a 0.5 m XT-60i cable are in the box.
