Why we recommend it

Most portable panels fail at the hinges and the backing rather than the cells. BougeRV's fiberglass construction is aimed squarely at that: it flexes rather than cracking, and it shrugs off the knocks that come from living in a vehicle rather than a cupboard. At 6.9 lb it's not the lightest, but for overlanding and work-site use the durability is worth more than a pound saved.

Buying advice

This is the panel to buy if yours will live in the back of a vehicle. If it will live in a cupboard and come out for weekends, a lighter panel makes more sense and costs less.

Frequently asked questions

Why does fiberglass matter?
It flexes instead of cracking, which is what usually kills a panel that gets knocked around in a vehicle.
Can I drive with it strapped outside?
It handles knocks better than most, but no portable panel is designed for sustained highway wind. Carry it inside.
Does ruggedness cost output?
Slightly. You give up a few percent of efficiency compared with the lightest high-efficiency panels.
