Recharge your van without having to stay parked in the sun: the EcoFlow 160 W foldable solar panel does the work for you

One of the great advantages of a portable solar panel over a fixed rooftop module is the freedom to park in the shade while placing your panel in the sun. The EcoFlow 160 W NextGen foldable solar panel takes this principle even further: thanks to its N-type monocrystalline silicon TOPCon technology, it delivers an efficiency of 25%, unprecedented in this category of foldable panels. In practical terms: an EcoFlow River 3 power station recharges in around 2 hours 30 minutes with this single panel, and an EcoFlow Delta 3 accepts up to 500 W of simultaneous solar charging, allowing you to connect up to 3 × 160 W panels in parallel. The integrated XT60 cable connects directly to your power station with no adapter.

At 5.6 kg and 60 × 57.2 × 3.2 cm when folded, this panel fits effortlessly in a boot, under a sofa bed, or behind a seat. It unfolds in seconds and stands on its own thanks to its integrated adjustable stand, from 30° to 60°. A particularly useful feature in a van: the integrated solar exposure adjustment device guides the panel's orientation in real time, immediately indicating whether alignment should be vertical or horizontal to maximise output at any time of day. No more guesswork.

The IP68 certification guarantees complete dust and water resistance, and the ETFE coating protects the cells against UV rays for a long service life. This panel operates from -20 °C to +85 °C, covering all weather conditions encountered in a van across France or during mountain getaways. The XT60 cable integrated into the panel plugs directly into the XT60 port on your power station, with no adapter needed. It is compatible with the EcoFlow River and Delta range, as well as with the vast majority of portable power stations on the market equipped with an XT60 port.

If your energy needs are greater, several panels can be connected in parallel to achieve higher charging power. For a fixed solar installation on the roof of your van, also check out our range of flexible solar panels.
