Jackery · 500 W folding panel
Jackery SolarSaga 500 X solar panel
500 W, 22.1 lb, folds to Around 39.21 × 20.71 × 3.82 in (996 × 526 × 97mm).
$799 at Jackery ($999), checked Oct 11, 2026: $1.60 per watt. It charges 70 of the 105 stations we have solar limits for, 8 of them Jackery's. The fastest refill from one input: the BLUETTI AC70, 1 panel, about 1.8 h of full sun.
From Jackery's published figures and our own arithmetic; we have not tested it ourselves.

On a -10 °C (14 °F) morning one panel's open-circuit voltage rises to about 52.9 V. That is the figure each station's limit is checked against.
Jackery on linking panels: Built from six 85W panels wired in parallel internally ('The parallel configuration keeps things simple'); the page says nothing about linking several 500 X units.
Which stations it charges
One input of each station, the arrangement that takes the most with the fewest panels; fastest refill first. Its maker names no MC4 plug, so it links to other panels only through the maker's own adapters and is counted one panel to an input.
