New Product Launch - Introducing Our 3 Newest Solar Panels!

Ready to reduce your reliance on the grid? Want to boost your clean energy usage? In a world with rising electricity prices and a need for sustainability, more and more Americans are turning to solar panels for their homes.

While the first solar cell was invented back in the 1880s, and the first boom in solar power usage took place in the 1980s, clean solar panels have been transformed in recent years. They are now considered mainstream - from flexible solar panels for your home to portable solar panels for camping, there are panels to suit every need.

That’s where Dabbsson comes in. We’ve just launched 3 incredible portable solar panels for your home and camping - with a range of 120 watts, 210 watts and 420 watts of power available. And we’re excited to help you find the perfect one for your needs!

Read on to learn more about our exciting new portable solar panel models, their specifications, and how to choose the right one for you.

Welcome to Our New Solar Panels!

We’re excited to showcase our newly launched portable solar panels - the Dabbsson DBS120S (120W), DBS210S (210W) and DBS420S (420W). Each has been built to the highest Dabbsson standards, meaning that they:

• Are easy to carry and fold. You need to be able to move your solar panel around your home or campsite with ease. Our panels are designed to be simple to fold away and store without damaging the panel. They’re also lightweight thanks to their carbon fibre material, so you can easily place them wherever you need.
• Are durable and tough, even in extreme weather conditions. Our newly launched panels aren’t just easy to carry but are protected and durable as you move them around. They’re created using carbon brazing, an innovative building technique that ensures durability for these flexible panels. Plus, their innovative A-grade 182-10BB mono-crystalline silicon layer prevents any damage from bumps or high pressure during transportation, reducing the chance of damage. They’re also able to withstand extreme temperatures - see the table below for more details.
• Are highly compatible. Use our portable solar panels with most solar generators thanks to the built-in MC4 connector, so you can complement your existing power storage or easily build a new Dabbsson set-up.
• Can charge solar generators lightning-fast. Once you have your generator system set up, you can use our solar panels to charge them even in shorter daylight hours. See the table below for charging times!

…plus, we are so proud of the quality of our solar panels we offer up to 24 months warranty on every portable solar panel purchase (12 months upfront, extended warranty of an additional 12 months with registration).

Understanding Solar Panel Specifications

If you’re unsure about what any of the above specifications mean, don’t worry. Use our handy guide below to understand the different elements of choosing a flexible solar panel.

 

• Maximum Wattage: This refers to how much electrical output is produced by the solar panels when tested. The higher the wattage, the more electricity can be produced over a set timeframe (e.g. the 420W can produce double the amount of electricity than the 210W model over the same timeframe).
• Maximum Operating Voltage: This is the maximum voltage at which your panel can operate - vital to know if you’re connecting additional components to ensure that no damage is caused.
• Maximum Operating Current: This is the maximum current that is produced when there is higher output. The higher this number, the higher the efficiency of the solar panel (because amps x voltage = watts).
• Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): The maximum voltage when there’s no current flowing through the portable solar panel - when it’s exposed to sunlight but there is no load connected. Knowing this helps you to calculate the maximum power point of the panel as well as other important safety factors, to understand the panel’s overall performance.
• Time Taken to Charge 500W Generator: If you’re connecting your portable solar panel to a solar generator, it’s important to know how long it will take to charge to make the most of the available sunlight. This is a good way to compare power versus cost - the panels that charge the quickest will likely also cost more.
• Working Temperature: Your solar panel needs to be able to operate in extremes of temperature. Use this specification to understand if the solar panel is capable of working even on the hottest of days.

• IP Rating: IP, or Ingress Protection, ratings demonstrate how protected your device is from water and dust. As the official site notes, “the first numeral refers to the protection against solid objects and is rated on a scale from 0 (no protection) to 6 (no ingress of dust). The second numeral rates the enclosure’s protection against liquids and uses a scale from 0 (no protection) to 9 (high-pressure hot water from different angles).” Our panels are IP65, meaning that they are dust-tight and protected from water jets from any direction, and IP67, meaning dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water.

• Cell Efficiency: This refers to how well your solar panel converts the energy from sunlight into electricity. This rating puts our technology at the most efficient end of the scale (regular monocrystalline panels have efficiency rates of 15-25%).

 

Choosing the Right Solar Panel for You

There are many things to consider when choosing a solar panel. For instance, not everyone needs the most powerful wattage to power their equipment; cost might be a driving factor; and material or durability might be what’s needed for those in more remote areas. Our recommendations for the best solar panels for you are below!

Frequently Asked Questions about Solar Panels

1. How do portable solar panels work?

All solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert the sun’s power into electricity.

Scientists have been working on solar panels since the 1800s when French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect: that some materials produce an electric current when exposed to sunlight. In scientific terms, the semiconductors in solar panels absorb photos and release electrons, which generate an electrical current. Use this immediately when camping or store to power whole homes.

2. How much do portable solar panels cost?

Solar panels vary in cost depending on the size you choose, where you want them to be installed (or if they are portable), and the quality of the material. Good portable solar panels should cost anywhere from $250 to $850 (depending on the wattage you need).

It’s good to remember that there might be government incentives or rebates that can help offset the costs of buying solar panels for your home.

3. How long do portable solar panels last?

With proper maintenance, solar panels can last for 25 years or more.

It’s important to invest in high-quality portable solar panels to ensure that they will last longer. You should search for panels with a scratch-resistant coating that can withstand extreme temperatures and are water and dust-resistant (minimum of IP65 rating).

 

And Now - Time to Browse!

Flexible solar panels are increasingly popular in the US. In sunny states like Arizona, California and Texas, this flexible way of powering your home has met the growing need for clean, off-grid energy. And with the rest of the US catching up to how transformative clean solar panels are, there’s more demand than ever for panels that work well and look good.
