Why Choose the Oscal 400W Solar Panel

Speed and power are the main advantages here. Lower wattage panels (100W or 200W) can take all day to recharge a large battery like the PowerMax 3600. The Oscal 400W panel cuts that time down drastically. By chaining just a few of these together, you can achieve solar input speeds that rival wall outlet charging, ensuring your battery is full before the sun goes down.

Benefits of the Oscal 400W Solar Panel

• High Conversion Efficiency: Utilizing top-tier monocrystalline cells, this panel achieves a conversion rate of up to 23%, allowing it to generate more power in limited sunlight compared to polycrystalline alternatives.

• Portable & Foldable: Despite its massive power output, the panel folds down into a compact carrying case size. It features an integrated ergonomic handle, making it easy to transport from your vehicle to your campsite.

• Adjustable Kickstands: Built-in kickstands allow you to angle the panel from 40° to 60°, ensuring you can capture the optimal angle of the sun throughout the day for maximum energy harvest.

• Durable ETFE Coating: Unlike cheaper PET-laminated panels, the ETFE coating on the Oscal 400W is resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and UV aging, ensuring a longer lifespan even with heavy outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this panel waterproof? The panel is rated IP65, which means it is water-resistant and can handle light rain or splashes. However, the junction box and connectors should be kept dry, and the panel should not be submerged in water or left out in heavy storms permanently.

Q2: How much does it weigh? As a high-power 400W unit, it is substantial. It typically weighs around 33 to 37 lbs (15-17 kg). While portable, it is heavier than smaller 100W panels due to the robust glass/materials required for 400W of output.

Q3: Can I connect multiple panels? Yes. You can wire multiple 400W panels in series or parallel to increase the voltage or current, provided your power station can handle the total input. For the Oscal PowerMax 3600, you can connect multiple panels to reach the 1600W max input limit.

Q4: Will this charge a Jackery or EcoFlow? Yes. Solar panels are generally universal. The Oscal 400W panel uses standard connectors. As long as you have the correct adapter cable (e.g., MC4 to 8mm for Jackery, or MC4 to XT60 for EcoFlow), it will charge third-party stations perfectly.

Q5: Does it work in cloudy weather? Solar panels produce significantly less power in cloudy conditions. While the high-efficiency cells will still generate some power (perhaps 10-20% of rated output), performance will be best in direct, unobstructed sunlight.
