Detailed overview: Allpowers SP012 100W foldable solar panel
The Allpowers SP012 is a foldable portable solar panel with 100W, built for anyone who wants to harness solar power both to directly recharge their electronics and to power a portable power station. Its monocrystalline cells offer a conversion efficiency of up to 23.5%.
Its distinguishing feature compared with many nomadic panels: it offers a dual USB output alongside its DC5525 connector, letting you directly recharge a phone, tablet or any USB device without needing a power station in between. The included kit comes with a DC5525 to DC5521 cable and 5 connection adapters, making it compatible with most power stations on the market, beyond the Allpowers S200, S300 and S700 models explicitly named by the manufacturer.
Once unfolded, the panel measures 94×94cm for a generous capture surface. Folded down to 32×19×8cm and stored in its carry pouch, it slips easily into a backpack or a van's boot, despite a weight of 2.15kg worth factoring in for ultralight hiking.
As with any solar panel, the nominal 100W is only reached under ideal orientation and sunlight conditions: partial shade or overcast skies noticeably reduce real-world yield. Check the voltage and current your power station accepts before connecting via the DC adapter. For versatile use, directly recharging devices and topping up a power station, the SP012 is a solid, well-equipped choice.

| Compact / mid | Recharge |
|---|---|
| EcoFlow Trail 200 DC (192 Wh) | ~2h45 |
| EcoFlow River 2 (256 Wh) | ~3h40 |
| Growatt Vita 550 (538 Wh) | ~7h40 |
| EcoFlow River 3 Max Plus (sans fil) (858 Wh) | ~12h |
| High capacity | Recharge |
|---|---|
| Anker Solix F2000 (2048 Wh) | ~29h |

| Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 (3072 Wh) | ~44h |
| EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 (4096 Wh) | ~59h |
Estimate in full sun (ideal conditions). In practice, count on 3 to 5 hours of truly useful sunlight per day, so a full recharge may span several days depending on weather and orientation.

Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
The SP012 stands out for its dual USB output, a genuine convenience for directly recharging a phone or tablet without going through a power station. Its monocrystalline cells deliver good efficiency (up to 23.5%), and its kit of 5 connection adapters plus the DC5525 to DC5521 cable make it compatible with most power stations on the market, Allpowers and otherwise. Once unfolded (94×94cm), it captures light efficiently in good weather; folded down to 32×19×8cm with its pouch, it travels easily while hiking or in a van. As with any solar panel, real-world yield depends heavily on orientation and sunlight, and the nominal 100W is only reached under ideal conditions. A handful of reviews mention the panel underperforming its rated output in cloudier conditions, worth keeping in mind if you're relying on it as a primary charging source. For directly recharging devices in the sun while keeping the option to plug in a power station, it remains a versatile, well-equipped choice.
Frequently asked questions: Allpowers SP012 100W foldable solar panel
Yes, that's one of its strengths: the dual USB output directly recharges a phone, tablet or any USB device, without needing an intermediate power station.
The manufacturer explicitly confirms compatibility with the Allpowers S200, S300 and S700 power stations. The included kit (DC5525 to DC5521 cable and 5 connection adapters) also makes it usable with most other power stations on the market: check the voltage and current your model accepts before connecting.
Its monocrystalline cells offer up to 23.5% efficiency, but as with any solar panel, the nominal 100W is only reached under ideal orientation and full-sun conditions.
