EcoFlow 160W Lightweight Bifacial Portable Solar Panel

The EcoFlow 160W Lightweight Portable Bifacial Solar Panel combines N-Type TOPCon solar cells, up to 25% conversion efficiency, an integrated XT60 cable and an adjustable folding stand for convenient solar charging while camping, travelling or operating away from mains power.

Product Description

The EcoFlow 160W Lightweight Portable Bifacial Solar Panel is a foldable renewable charging solution designed for compatible EcoFlow portable power stations and supported third-party solar-input devices.

Its bifacial construction combines a front-facing solar surface for capturing direct sunlight with a rear-facing surface that captures reflected ambient light from the surrounding environment.

The panel provides a rated output of 160W ±5W under Standard Test Conditions. Under EcoFlow’s specified BNPI bifacial test conditions, output can reach up to 177W ±5W.

N-Type TOPCon monocrystalline solar cells provide conversion efficiency of up to 25%, helping convert available sunlight into charging power efficiently under suitable outdoor conditions.

An integrated 2.5m solar charging cable with an XT60 connector supports direct connection to compatible EcoFlow portable power stations without requiring a separate standard solar charging cable.

The built-in folding support stand adjusts between 30° and 60°, allowing the panel angle to be changed according to the sun’s position and the surrounding environment.

An integrated solar angle guide assists with positioning the panel so that sunlight reaches the front solar surface at a more effective angle.

The panel weighs approximately 3.8kg, making it around 1.8kg lighter than EcoFlow’s previous-generation 160W Portable Solar Panel.

Its foldable construction and integrated carrying design make it suitable for camping, caravan and RV travel, road trips, remote work and emergency backup charging.

The IP68 water and dust resistance rating supports temporary outdoor use in wet and dusty environments under specified test conditions.

Actual solar output depends on sunlight intensity, panel angle, reflected rear-side light, cloud cover, temperature, shading, panel cleanliness, cable losses and the connected power station’s solar-input limits.

Specifications

Compatibility

The EcoFlow 160W Lightweight Portable Bifacial Solar Panel is designed for compatible EcoFlow portable power stations and supported third-party solar charging equipment.

Potentially compatible EcoFlow product families include selected:

• EcoFlow RIVER Series portable power stations
• EcoFlow DELTA Series portable power stations
• EcoFlow products with a compatible XT60 solar input

The connected portable power station or solar charge controller must support:

• An open-circuit voltage of approximately 21.4V
• A maximum-power voltage of approximately 18.8V
• Current of up to 10.2A under specified bifacial conditions
• Solar input from a panel rated between approximately 160W and 177W
• An XT60-compatible solar input

A matching connector does not automatically confirm electrical compatibility.

Before connecting the panel, confirm the portable power station or solar controller’s:

• Solar-input voltage range
• Maximum open-circuit voltage
• Maximum solar-input current
• Maximum solar-input wattage
• Connector type
• Connector polarity
• Supported panel configuration

Do not connect the panel if its voltage, current or maximum output exceeds the supported limits of the connected equipment.

The integrated XT60 cable supports direct connection to compatible EcoFlow portable power stations without requiring a separate standard solar charging cable.

A suitable approved adapter may be required for equipment using a different solar-input connector.

Bifacial Performance

The front solar surface captures direct sunlight, while the rear surface can collect reflected ambient light.

The panel’s standard output rating is 160W ±5W under Standard Test Conditions.

The maximum 177W ±5W output applies under EcoFlow’s specified BNPI bifacial test conditions and is not a guaranteed continuous real-world output.

Rear-side energy generation depends on:

• Ground and surface reflectivity
• Panel height and elevation
• Stand angle
• Strength of direct sunlight
• Rear-side shading
• Cloud cover
• Weather conditions
• Installation environment

Light-coloured or reflective surfaces may provide greater rear-side energy capture than dark or non-reflective surfaces.

Keep the rear solar surface unobstructed to allow reflected light to reach it.

Multiple-Panel Connections

EcoFlow recommends connecting this panel in series only with another panel of the same model and a compatible EcoFlow portable power station.

Parallel connection is not recommended because the combined current may exceed the supported solar-input current of the connected power station.

Before creating a series-connected system, confirm:

• The maximum solar-input voltage of the power station
• The maximum solar-input current
• The maximum solar-input wattage
• The electrical ratings of both panels
• The required series connection accessories
• Connector compatibility
• Cable voltage and current ratings

Series connection increases the combined voltage.

Do not connect multiple panels if the combined open-circuit voltage exceeds the maximum supported input voltage of the connected power station.

Only use matching EcoFlow 160W Lightweight Portable Solar Panels in a series configuration unless EcoFlow confirms another compatible arrangement.

Required series connection accessories are sold separately.

EcoFlow currently states that no compatible extension cable is available for this Lightweight Solar Panel.

Do not use an unverified extension cable or adapter.

Solar Performance

Actual solar output will normally be lower than the maximum laboratory-rated output and varies according to:

• Sunlight intensity
• Panel direction and tilt angle
• Reflected light reaching the rear surface
• Cloud cover
• Weather conditions
• Time of day
• Season
• Ambient temperature
• Panel temperature
• Partial shading
• Dirt or dust on the panel
• Cable and conversion losses
• Connected-device input limits
• Connected battery level

For improved performance, position the panel in direct sunlight and use the integrated solar angle guide to keep sunlight as close as possible to a 90° angle to the front surface.

Avoid shading from trees, buildings, vehicles, aerials, roof racks and other equipment.

Even limited shading across part of the solar surface can significantly reduce the available charging output.

Installation and Use

This panel is designed primarily for temporary portable deployment.

For prolonged hanging, permanent outdoor installation or vehicle-mounted applications, EcoFlow recommends using an appropriate rigid solar-panel system.

Lightweight portable solar panels are not intended for permanent suspended installation or long-term mounting to moving vehicles.

When deploying the panel:

• Place it on a stable surface
• Unfold each section carefully
• Extend the integrated support stand
• Select an angle between 30° and 60°
• Use the solar angle guide to improve positioning
• Keep the front and rear solar surfaces unobstructed
• Route the integrated cable away from walkways
• Connect the XT60 cable securely
• Confirm that the power station detects solar input
• Monitor the panel and cable during charging

Do not:

• Crush or pierce the panel
• Step or sit on the panel
• Place heavy objects on the solar cells
• Fold the panel against its designed hinges
• Sharply bend the solar sections
• Permanently suspend the panel
• Permanently mount it to a moving vehicle
• Use damaged hinges, cables or connectors

IP68 Protection

The IP68 rating provides protection against water and dust under specified laboratory test conditions.

The panel should still be handled as electrical equipment:

• Keep connectors clean and dry before connection
• Do not connect wet or contaminated plugs
• Protect disconnected connectors from dirt and moisture
• Avoid unnecessary prolonged exposure to wet conditions
• Allow the panel and cable to dry before storage
• Do not use damaged cables, connectors or panel surfaces
• Do not store the panel while wet
• Inspect the panel regularly for damage

Extended exposure to moisture may reduce the product’s service life.
