Jackery SolarSaga 500 X | 500W Bifacial Solar Panel Array
The Jackery SolarSaga 500 X is a foldable six-panel bifacial array rated 500W under standard test conditions. Its 545W figure is a separate bifacial test result with rear-side light, not guaranteed field output. It uses an Anderson connection and has an IP68 panel rating; check the station input and required cable before buying.
Why choose the SolarSaga 500 X?
This six-part foldable array serves buyers who need more solar collection area than a small portable panel while retaining a packable format. Rear-side gain depends on reflective surfaces and how the array is deployed.
- 500W ±5% front-side standard-test peak; 545W ±5% only under Jackery’s defined bifacial test conditions.
- Six-fold array with a 16.4 ft (5 m) cable; approximately 23.1 lb.
- IP68 panel rating and 5-year manufacturer warranty. Follow Jackery’s panel connection instructions; the six modules are configured in parallel, not series.
Best-fit use cases
For larger compatible Jackery stations and off-grid charging where there is room to deploy the six-panel array. Compare the station’s permitted solar voltage, current and connector with the complete array before use; output varies with sun and rear-side exposure.
What to check before buying
This is a 500W standard-test panel. The 545W figure uses front and rear illumination under Jackery’s bifacial test; it is not a promise of 545W in ordinary sunlight. Match the Anderson connection and array limits to the exact station.

SolarSaga 500 X: a six-module portable array
SolarSaga 500 X combines six SolarSaga 85 modules into one folding array. The assembled array is rated 500W under standard test conditions; the separate 545W figure includes rear illumination under Jackery’s bifacial test. Neither rating guarantees the power reaching a connected station.
Allow space for the complete array
The deployed footprint is about 98.1 × 39.2 in, with a raised height of 11.6 in. Folded size is approximately 39.2 × 20.7 × 3.8 in, and weight is 23.1 lb ±1.1 lb. Its hinged layout sits at roughly 35° when fully opened. Check your campsite or outdoor charging area before choosing it over a smaller panel.
Parallel modules and a 5 m connection
The six modules connect in parallel through Anderson ports. The current manual limits this arrangement to six modules; it is not a six-panel series string. The supplied 5 m cable connects the array to DC8020. Check the host station’s voltage, current and wattage limits, including cold-weather open-circuit voltage, before connecting it.
The array’s 90V maximum-system rating is not permission to exceed a power station’s input voltage. Its STC operating point is 41.7V / 12A, while STC open-circuit voltage is 48.5V ±5%. The bifacial figures are listed separately in Specifications so they are not confused with front-side test ratings.
Set up and pack away correctly
Use the supplied hinges, screws and stakes as shown in the manual. Seal unused Anderson sockets with the rubber plugs. The IP68 rating does not make the station or connected plugs waterproof, and Jackery says to put the panels away in strong winds, hail and severe weather. This is a portable array, not a permanent rooftop installation.
