About this Item:- Foldable & Portable: Light and compact, two fold design. Only 7.6 lbs, which can be easy carried whenever you go. Suitable for hiking, camping, RV travel, etc Designed for Power Station: Compatible with most power stations and solar generators, by using our 4 various adapters, easy connection to Jackery Explorer (8mm DC Adapter) /Flashfish (5.5*2.1mm), and other solar generators on the market(3.5*1.35mm, 5.5*2.5
- Adjustable Kickstands & High Efficiency: The patented special kickstand on backpanel, set the adjustable kickstand at 40° for morning, and at 30° for noon, so that the panel can absorb maximum of sunlight, more effiecient than the fixed angle
- Easy Expansion: We've prepared one DC-Solar panel connectors in the package, with this DIY component, you can connect 2 pieces portable panels together, or with any other 12v 100w solar panel in parallel, and what you need is just one pair of Y-branch connector
- Waterproof & Extension Cable: With IP65 water-resistant material, it will protect from water splashing. Use 118 inch extension cable to run power station in the shade

Yes. I have two mounted under my truck rack. When clean they pull a little over 100 watts in direct sun with a tiny bit of surface area blocked, unfortunately not as much as I was hoping for but decent.
Oh but you need mc4 Y connectors to connect two (or more).

True.. I was concerned about the input voltage myself before I upgraded power station that did higher voltage. But, the mc4 connectors are pretty cheap so either way unless you know one way is better?

Ah thanks. I knew there was a reason I went with parallel lol.

You only need a solar charge controller if you want to hook it straight to a battery. If you have something like a Bluetti, eco flow, or jackery, those have the charge controller built in so you don't need a charge controller. If you want to hook it directly to a car battery, you need a charge controller. But those are pretty cheap
As other have said, you can connect 2 panels in series (24v system) or parallel (12v system). Series is best if panels have equal sun exposure because it lowers the current (and resistance losses/heating) for the same power. Parallel works best when there will be partial shading of one panel.

The ideal setup for laptop charging would be to do so with a power station that accepts solar charging input. That way, the battery provides clean, stable voltage/amps to the laptop, and the solar panel charges the battery via the in-built charge controller. The power station does the work of converting all of these voltages (solar input, battery input & output, AC/DC output, etc.) to something useful and the battery provides the amperage needed and acts as a buffer between the solar input.
If your laptop charges via USB-C, you can benefit from going DC to DC with a power station and avoid using the AC-DC converter (wall plug charger). This should be more efficient and avoid unnecessary losses from going DC to AC back to DC again.
