What brand of solar panels can charge the Sorein Power Station?Updated 11 days ago

To charge the Sorein Power Station, we recommend the Sorein 400W Solar Panel. This panel is ideally suited for maintaining the charge in your power station while you use it.

You can use other brands of solar panels to charge the Sorein Power Station, as long as the combined output of the panels is more than 50 watts and less than 1,000 watts. If you are using multiple panels, be sure that their combined output voltage does not exceed any of these limits:

• 1,000 watts
• 20 amps
• 60 volts

For this reason, connecting panels in a serial arrangement is not recommended. Multiple panels should be connected in parallel.

IMPORTANT: If you exceed the limits above, the MPPT charge controller in the Sorein Power Station may be damaged. If that happens, you will not be able to charge the power station through the XT60 connector. Fortunately, the MPPT controller board is user-replaceable. Contact AIR GEAR customer service for assistance.

Do not use a charge controller with your solar panels. That's already built into the Sorein Power Station. Using a charge controller may prevent the panels from charging the power station.

You will need an adapter from the connectors on your solar panel (typically MC4 or Anderson) to a female XT60 plug. This is included with the Sorein 400W Solar Panel. AIR GEAR has provided an Anderson-to-XT60 adapter with the AIR GEAR Portable Solar Kits sold since May 2025, and we offer a 2-panel adapter if you have a second Portable Solar Kit.

Rooftop panels installed by the RV manufacturer typically can't be used without custom re-wiring. For more on that, see this article.
