Overview
The SolarSaga 100W is Jackery's mainstream portable panel and the one they publish spec-for-spec with their Explorer power stations. Two rigid monocrystalline segments in an orange-trimmed frame with an integrated rear kickstand fold shut into a briefcase-sized package with cutout carry handles on both side frames. Peak power is 100 W ±5 W at STC with Voc 24.8 V, Vmp 20.0 V, Isc 5.4 A and Imp 5.0 A (all ±5%). Output is an Anderson DC connector for direct connection to Explorer stations, plus a USB port on the panel for charging phones or small devices directly. Panel body is IP68-rated for dust and water. Jackery does not publish a numeric cell-efficiency figure on the current product page — its 'up to 25% conversion efficiency' language is marketing prose rather than a specified value, so the numeric field is honestly null.
Variant note: Current SolarSaga 100W (SKU 21-0002-000058). Not the SolarSaga 100 Prime, 100 Air or 100 Light — those are newer distinct models with different form factors and their spec pages are JS-hydrated rather than serving inline specs. Refurbished SolarSaga 100W and PackPlus-with-station bundles are separate listings.
Data note: All figures taken from the specification block published on the live product page on 2026-08-10 (Jackery SKU 21-0002-000058). Jackery states electrical characteristics with a manufacturing tolerance (±5% on Voc/Vmp/Imp/Isc, ±5W on peak power); the normalized values are the midpoint. cellEfficiency is null: 'up to 25%' appears in marketing prose but no numeric value is in the spec table. warrantyYears is null: no panel warranty term is stated on the product page (extended-warranty products sold in the same catalogue apply to Explorer stations, not to this panel). Dimensions are converted from Jackery's published mm values.
Specifications
Rated power, cell type, form factor, connector and weight come from official manufacturer sources; the exact claims and links are in the provenance table. Electrical characteristics and cell efficiency are recorded only where a numeric figure is published, and compatibility with any particular power station is recorded only where the manufacturer states it. A connector type is not a compatibility claim.

Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Full published electrical characteristics (Voc, Vmp, Imp, Isc)
- IP68 rating on the panel body
- Integrated kickstand and cutout carry handles
- USB port on the panel for charging small devices directly, no station required
Weaknesses
- Cell efficiency is marketed as 'up to 25%' but not published as a numeric spec, so the field is null
- Warranty term is not published on the product page
- Anderson connector's compatibility with non-Jackery stations is not officially stated
- No charge controller included
