Rich Solar MEGA 100 Portable Briefcase Solar Panel — 100 Watt 12V
The MEGA 100 Portable Briefcase Solar Panel is a 100-watt, 12-volt folding solar panel built for off-grid charging wherever you go. Two monocrystalline panels hinged in a protective aluminum frame fold to just 25.2 × 18.1 inches — compact enough to fit behind a car seat, slide into a truck bed, or stand on a campsite table. Deploy the built-in kickstand, plug into your power station or charge controller, and start generating within a minute of arriving anywhere the sun shines.
Folds to Carry-On Size — 25.2 × 18.1 in
Folded to 25.2 × 18.1 × 2.4 inches, the MEGA 100 Briefcase is the most compact folding panel in the MEGA portable lineup — small enough to slide behind a vehicle seat, pack in an SUV cargo area, or store in a storage locker on a boat or RV.
100W Ready in Under a Minute
Unfold, prop the built-in adjustable kickstand, and connect to your power station or charge controller input. No mounting hardware, no tools, no installation — 100 watts of solar charging operational within a minute of arriving at your destination.
Tempered Glass, Aluminum Frame, Fully Weatherproof
Monocrystalline cells under strong tempered glass in a rigid aluminum frame with corner protection on all edges — more durable than fabric folding panels, fully weatherproof, and built to handle years of repeated deployment and transport in demanding outdoor conditions.
Product Overview
The Rich Solar MEGA 100 Portable Briefcase Solar Panel is two 50-watt monocrystalline panels hinged together in a single protective aluminum frame — a complete portable solar charging solution that travels as one compact unit. Unfolded for use, it measures 36.4 × 25.2 × 1.2 inches and produces up to 100 watts at 18.6V Vmp and 5.38A Imp. Folded for transport, it closes to a 25.2 × 18.1 × 2.4 inch package — considerably more portable than the MEGA 200 Briefcase and compact enough for situations where the larger panel is simply too bulky to bring along.
The MEGA 100 Briefcase is built around a different use case than the larger 200W model. At 15.7 lbs and folded dimensions closer to a large laptop bag, it's designed for people who want meaningful solar charging power that genuinely fits in a personal vehicle without dominating cargo space — a weekend camper's backseat, a kayak fisher's truck bed, a van dweller's under-bunk storage, or a preparedness kit stored in a hall closet ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
Output connects through standard MC4 connectors compatible with most portable power stations, solar generators, and PWM/MPPT charge controllers for direct 12V battery bank charging. With a 1000V maximum system voltage, two panels can also be wired in series for setups requiring higher voltage input. The built-in adjustable kickstand positions the panel at an optimal sun angle without needing ground stakes, tilt brackets, or supporting structures — just unfold, set, and connect.
Genuinely Portable — Goes Where the 200W Can't
- Folds to 25.2 × 18.1 × 2.4 in: Compact enough to fit behind a vehicle seat, stand upright in a truck bed corner, slide under a boat seat, or store flat in most RV storage bays and under-bunk compartments.
- 15.7 lbs — One-Hand Carry: Light enough to carry with one hand using the integrated handle — from vehicle to campsite, dock to boat deck, or garage to backyard without a second person or a cart.
- Built-In Adjustable Kickstand: Angles the panel toward the sun on any flat surface without ground stakes, tilt brackets, or external supports — deploy on a picnic table, a dock, a parking lot, or a campsite in seconds.
- Corner Protection on All Edges: Reinforced corner guards protect the panel's frame and glass through repeated folding, transport, and storage — extending the service life of the hinge and glass on a panel that gets opened and closed regularly.
- No Permanent Installation Required: Set up and tear down in under two minutes at any location — pack it in at the end of the day and take it to your next destination without leaving anything behind.
Charges Power Stations, Generators & 12V Batteries
- Solar Generator & Power Station Compatible: MC4 output connectors plug directly into the solar input port on most portable power stations — including popular units from Bluetti, EcoFlow, Jackery, Goal Zero, and comparable brands via a compatible MC4 adapter.
- PWM & MPPT Charge Controller Compatible: Works with both controller types for direct 12V battery bank charging — pair with a 10A or larger controller for safe battery charging without a power station in the chain.
- 100W / 18.6V Vmp / 5.38A Imp: Enough output to meaningfully charge small-to-mid capacity power stations throughout a sunny day — practical for topping off a 500Wh station during a full day outdoors.
- 1000V Max System Voltage: Wire two MEGA 100 Briefcase panels in series for higher-voltage input configurations compatible with MPPT controllers and power stations with wider voltage input windows.
- Emergency & Backup Ready: Store folded in a closet, garage, or vehicle and deploy immediately during a power outage — no installation wait, no setup complexity, no grid dependence.
Built Tougher Than Fabric Folding Panels
- Monocrystalline Silicon Cells: High-efficiency monocrystalline cells deliver strong output and consistent performance across varying light conditions — including overcast skies, morning hours, and off-angle afternoon sun.
- Strong Tempered Glass Surface: Impact-resistant tempered glass protects the cell layer through years of outdoor use, repeated transport, and real-world handling — significantly more durable than the lightweight plastic film surface on fabric folding panels.
- Rigid Aluminum Frame: The same corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame construction used in Rich Solar's fixed rooftop panel lineup — provides structural rigidity that prevents flex-induced cell stress during transport and deployment.
- Fully Weatherproof Construction: Sealed panel construction handles rain, humidity, wind, and dust — suitable for real outdoor conditions, not just fair-weather use on a patio.
- MC4 Output Connectors: Industry-standard MC4 connections for secure, weatherproof cable attachment — compatible with a wide range of charge controllers, power station adapters, and Y-branch parallel adapters for dual-panel setups.
The Right Size for Lighter Off-Grid Adventures
- Weekend Camping & Car Camping: Fits in any vehicle without giving up cargo space for gear — set it outside your tent or at the edge of your campsite and keep your power station topped off throughout the day.
- Fishing, Kayaking & Boating: Compact enough to store on most fishing boats, jon boats, and kayak trailers — charge a marine battery or a portable power station while you're on the water.
- Van Dwellers & Part-Time Travelers: A lighter-weight supplemental charging option for van builds on days when rooftop panels aren't getting enough direct sun — deploy outside and angle toward the sun while parked.
- Emergency Preparedness: Store in a hall closet, garage shelf, or vehicle cargo area and have it operational within minutes of a grid outage — no tools, no installation, just unfold and plug in.
- Remote Work & Field Operations: Power laptops, communication equipment, lighting, and small tools at remote sites anywhere a vehicle can reach.
