If you camp for two or three days at a time with a modest battery, a compressor fridge and some LED lighting, 100W of aimable solar does a genuinely useful job, and it does it without committing you to anything. That is the appeal of the suitcase format at this size. It suits rooftop tent setups, small off-road trailers, bakkie canopies and people who hire or borrow a vehicle. It is also the easy way to add solar to a camper you do not want to modify, and it packs down small enough that it is not a nuisance to carry the rest of the year. Because you can angle it at the sun and walk it out of the shade, a well-placed 100W suitcase frequently beats a flat-mounted 100W roof panel in real use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100W of folding solar\u003c\/strong\u003e – right-sized for weekend trips, fridges and lighting loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and genuinely light\u003c\/strong\u003e – easy to carry one-handed and easy to store.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated support legs\u003c\/strong\u003e – angle it at the sun rather than lying it flat on the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds shut for protection\u003c\/strong\u003e – the cell faces close together for travel on gravel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo installation required\u003c\/strong\u003e – nothing drilled, nothing bonded, nothing permanent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonocrystalline cells\u003c\/strong\u003e – better output per square metre than older polycrystalline panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekend camping with a fridge, lights and phone charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRooftop tent and bakkie canopy setups with no usable roof space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall off-road trailers and teardrops with modest battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHired or borrowed vehicles that must not be modified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopping up a caravan battery while parked at home between trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Bellville workshop looks after Renogy customers across \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e.

At 100W a good PWM controller is workable and an MPPT unit will squeeze out more, particularly on cold bright mornings. Get a reasonable MC4 extension lead so you can actually place the panel where the sun is rather than being tethered to the vehicle. If you later want more, a second panel can often be added in parallel, but check that your controller has the current headroom before you do. As with any portable panel, fold and stow it before you drive, and think about how you will secure it if you leave camp for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the larger 300W and 400W units in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range, and pick a matched unit from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.

In winter, in cloud, or with a large fridge, it will fall behind and you will need more panel or a bigger battery to ride it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a charge controller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, unless one is supplied with your kit. Panels must not be connected directly to a battery. Check with us when ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add a second panel later?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOften yes, in parallel, provided your charge controller can handle the extra current. Ask us before buying the second one so we can check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it better than a 100W panel on the roof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrequently, yes, because you can aim it and move it out of shade. The roof panel wins on convenience and on charging while you drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow small does it fold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall enough to slide behind a seat or into a locker.
