Solar panels for power stations — folding kits and ground arrays
A power station is only as good as the panel feeding it. We build the panel side: folding kits that pack with your unit, and rigid modules for small ground arrays — connector, cable length and voltage set to your device.
This is the part most brands get wrong: a stock folding panel arrives with the wrong plug, the wrong polarity, or an open-circuit voltage that trips the input on a cold morning. We build to the unit, not to a catalogue page.
- Your connector
- Voltage matched to the input window
- Folding & semi-flexible
- Rigid modules for ground arrays
The panel is the weak link
A power station is sold on its output, but the customer judges it on a grey afternoon with a panel that no longer keeps up. The failures are rarely the cells — they are the plug that arcs, the lead that is 30 cm too short, the voltage that climbs past the input limit in cold sun.
All three are decided at the drawing stage. Send the unit and we build the panel to it.
What we set to your device
| Connector | Your plug on the lead — MC4, XT60, DC5521, or the moulded plug off your unit |
|---|---|
| Lead length | Set so the panel reaches the input without an extension on the ground |
| Voltage | Open-circuit and operating voltage placed inside the input window, with cold-weather headroom |
| Cell & build | Folding, semi-flexible or rigid glass — chosen by how the panel travels |
| Polarity & labelling | Marked to your spec, with your artwork on the bag and frame if you want it |
| Certification | CE as standard; the certificate set your market needs is confirmed before quotation |
Exact ranges, pricing and order quantities are settled by email or at the factory — the website only carries what the catalogue already publishes.
What we need to quote
Send these five things and a quote comes back with the panel built around them.
- The power station model, or its input voltage window and max current
- A photo of the connector on the unit
- How the panel travels — folded in a bag, strapped to a frame, fixed on the ground
- Destination market, for the certificate set
- Quantity and the date you need them
Why brands come to the line
Because the panel and the unit have to be designed against each other, and a trading company in the middle breaks that conversation. We sit as the sales window of the factories, so the engineer who sets the string voltage is one email away — and named before you commit.
If a different cell format gets you a better panel for the same unit, that is what we quote. There is no line of our own to fill.
Questions power-station buyers ask
Can the folding panel come with our own connector?
Yes. This is the usual request from power-station brands: the panel ships with your plug, your cable length and your polarity. Send a sample or a photo of the connector on the unit and the lead is built to match — no adapter in the box.
What voltage should the string run at?
Tell us the input window of the power station or the charge controller and we build the module or the string to sit inside it, with headroom for cold mornings. The open-circuit voltage is quoted against your device, not against a stock sheet.
Panel for a portable unit or a fixed ground array?
Both run on the same lines. Portable units take a folding or semi-flexible panel that packs down; fixed arrays take rigid glass modules on ground screws or a rail system. The photo above is a ground-laid array on a slope, wired in strings.
Do you supply the mounting and the cables?
We supply the panel and the lead. Mounting hardware, ground screws, rails and the inverter are specified together with your installer, and we quote the panel side against that layout.
Can we see the factory before ordering?
Yes, anytime. Tell us your travel dates and we arrange the plant tour and an engineers' meeting in one visit.
Send the unit, get a panel built to it
Tell us the power station model, the connector and the market. Voltage, lead length and the certificate set come back by email — and you are welcome to walk the line before you commit. Factory visits welcome anytime.
