Detailed overview: EcoFlow 60W USB-C portable solar panel
The EcoFlow 60W portable solar panel combines two outputs for its 60W of rated power: a built-in USB-C port, capped at 15W (5V/3A), for charging phones, tablets and electric air pumps directly in the sun, with no power station; and a DC5521 connector, which delivers the full 60W to an EcoFlow RIVER series power station via the included DC5521-to-XT60i adapter cable.
Its other strength is the format: its four-fold structure measures just 317 x 309 x 45 mm when folded, barely the thickness of a book. It stows in tight spaces and travels effortlessly, hung on a bag or slipped into a side pocket. It is the panel to take on a hike, a light camp or a trip.
Despite its compactness, it makes no compromise on efficiency: thanks to TOPCon solar technology, a first in the world of compact solar panels, it reaches a conversion rate that can climb up to 25%, for a faster charge on a smaller surface. On ruggedness, its fibreglass circuit boards and durable ETFE coating, combined with IP68 certification, let it withstand harsh weather conditions.
Ultra-compact, versatile thanks to its USB-C and DC5521 outputs, and efficient, the EcoFlow 60W solar panel is for anyone who wants to charge their electronic devices or a compact power station directly in the sun, on a hike, camping or travelling.

☀ How fast does this panel recharge a power station?
The EcoFlow 60W panel (60 W) recharges a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 (1070 Wh) in ~25h or an EcoFlow Delta 2 Max (2048 Wh) in ~49h, in full sun.
| Compact / mid | Recharge |
|---|---|
| Bluetti EB3A (268 Wh) | ~6h25 |
| EcoFlow River 2 Max (512 Wh) | ~12h |
| Growatt Vita 550 (538 Wh) | ~13h |
| EcoFlow River 3 Max Plus (sans fil) (858 Wh) | ~20h |
| High capacity | Recharge |
|---|---|
| Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 (2048 Wh) | ~49h |
| Allpowers R3500 V2 (2880 Wh) | ~69h |
| Allpowers R4000 (3456 Wh) | ~82h |
| EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 (4096 Wh) | ~98h |
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.
Comparison
At around £68 to £111, the EcoFlow 60W (USB-C) solar panel compares with compact solar panels with a USB output, targeted by searches such as "USB solar panel" or "portable solar charger". Here is how it sits against three references: the little brother EcoFlow 45W, the BigBlue 28W USB and the Jackery SolarSaga 100W.
| Criterion | EcoFlow 60W (USB-C) | EcoFlow 45W (USB-C) | BigBlue 28W USB | Jackery SolarSaga 100W |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power | 60W | 45W | 28W | 100W |
| USB-C port (device charging) | Yes, 15W max | Yes, 15W max | Yes (USB-A, 28W) | No |
| Full-power output | DC5521, 60W (cable included) | DC5521, 45W (cable included) | USB-A (same port, 28W) | XT60, 100W (same port) |
| Efficiency | TOPCon up to 25% | TOPCon up to 25% | ≈ 22% | ≈ 23% |
| Rating | IP68 | IP68 | IPX4 | IP65 |
| Observed price | ≈ £85 | ≈ £68 | ≈ £51 | ≈ £256 |
In short, the EcoFlow 60W panel stands out for its dual USB-C and DC5521 outputs, its TOPCon technology that pushes efficiency to 25% and its very good IP68 rating, in a pocket format. Its USB-C port stays capped at 15W; for full 60W power, notably towards an EcoFlow power station, the DC5521 connector and its included cable are the way to go. The 45W offers the same approach with a little less power and a lower price, the BigBlue 28W is less powerful and limited to USB-A, while the far more powerful Jackery SolarSaga 100W serves to recharge a station (XT60) and not USB devices directly. To charge your gadgets in the sun in a compact format, the 60W is an excellent choice.

Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
This 60W panel won us over for its different approach: here, no need for a power station, you plug the phone or tablet straight into its USB-C output and charge in the sun. It is strikingly simple on a hike or a light camp, you hang it on the bag or set it facing the sun, and devices climb back up. The format is its big asset: folded in four, it is as thin as a book and slips in anywhere, we carried it without even feeling it. The TOPCon technology, rare on such a compact panel, pushes efficiency up to 25%, which shows in charging speed compared with small entry-level panels. The fibreglass construction and ETFE coating, with IP68 certification, are reassuring for outdoor exposure. Two honest caveats: the USB-C port caps at 15W, perfect for small USB devices but not enough for a laptop (for the full 60W towards a RIVER power station, you need the DC5521 connector and its included cable), and real yield depends heavily on orientation and sunlight. But to charge your gadgets directly in the sun in a pocket format, it is exactly what you need.

Yes, via the USB-C port, though it is capped at 15W (5V/3A): it lets you charge phones, tablets and air pumps directly in the sun, with no power station in between. For the full 60W, notably towards an EcoFlow RIVER series power station, use the DC5521 connector with the included DC5521-to-XT60i adapter cable.
Yes. Its four-fold structure measures just 317 x 309 x 45 mm when folded, barely the thickness of a book. It stows easily in a bag and travels effortlessly.
TOPCon solar technology, a first on compact panels, reaches a conversion efficiency of up to 25%, meaning a faster charge on a smaller panel surface.
Yes. Its fibreglass circuit boards and durable ETFE coating, with IP68 certification, let it withstand water, dust and harsh weather conditions.
