Contact us for Customer Service, Technical and any other question at 1-800-443-4871 (or) support@brunton.comRepresenting the next generation of solar panel technology, the Solaris 26 maximizes performance while taking up virtually no space at all. The unit's multi-section design folds up into a compact footprint that's just a bit larger than a DVD case, while still delivering an impressive 26 watts of power, more than enough to charge a laptop or digital video camera or power a satellite or cell phone. In addition, the unit's high-performance CIGS solar cells--the most efficient thin-film solar technology available--are extremely reliable, with a design that instinctively converts incident sunlight into an electrical current, even in low-light conditions. The combined functions make this an ideal panel for camping trips, hikes, power outages, and other occasions when it helps to have a portable power source on hand.
The Solaris 26, which measures 21.5 by 37.5 inches when open and 11 by 8.5 inches when folded, includes a battery clamp cable for charging car batteries, along with vehicle outlet and multi-linking cables. It's also backed by a one-year warranty.

Sports reviews of Brunton 26 Watt Foldable Solar Array
Customer Review: Really nice
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After just recently installing solar panels on my roof (and loving it), I've been going a little solar crazy and have been buying all kinds of solar toys.
I bought both this and the "30 Watt Mono-crystalline Portable Briefcase Solar Panel 12V Charger - temper proof glass" from "Exciting Products". I connected both to a light duty tire inflator with a 12v cigarette lighter plug (with both PV systems in direct, noon sunlight). The briefcase panels never got the compressor moving while the Brunton started it up right away. Although listed at 26 watts, the Brunton generated more power for me than the "30 watt" briefcase panel.
The Brunton folds easily and neatly into something that fits in a glove compartment, the finish of it is nice and you can tell it's made of good materials and workmanship.
It's a great unit that truly exceeded my expectations.
Customer Review: Great Product!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a very useful product. I've used it to power essentially any low-draw 12V equipment that I normally charge via my car's cigarette lighter. I live in Georgia (not a tremendously strong solar area) yet I was able to run anything I wanted to with moderate cloud cover. I used it today to charge my cell phone with a dead battery to full charge in less than an hour (as advertised). I haven't used it to charge my boat/auto battery yet but I have purchased the Brunton Solar Controller to utilize it. The panel is very easy to use and comes with multiple adapters. I'm not an electrician but I was able to open the box and use the product in less than five minutes. I'm excited to take it camping and on my boat. It's just a really, really useful product all the way around and comes with the Brunton name.Customer Review: Great portable solar array for camping and backpacking
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Great product. Since it is foldable it works well for camping/backpacking. At the last campout, it was continously in use. It provides the needed power for charging an emergency phone as well as a gps device. When unfolded, this really becomes quite large. The grommets do help very well. Be sure to read the amperage and voltage your device needs prior to purchase. I would recommend this product.
The weight is 27oz for the array + 12V adapter. Or 25 for array only. This is a bit heavy for ultralight backpacking, however, it does have the power at 26W (15.4V/1600mA) needed.
Customer Review: Works well even in cloud cover...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this mainly to power my satellite radio boom box by the pool and when camping... and it works great.
Even with moderate cloud cover it can power the boom box (which needs 12V 1900mA)... and in full sun I can run the boom box and charge a cell phone.
Its also great to just have around as an emergency power supply for cell phones, radios, etc. should the power go out for an extended period.
Customer Review: Safari Power
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT product. Took it to Kenya for a photo-safari. We tied it to the top of the Land Cruiser and with an Impact universal charger was able to charge all of my batteries and most of the others' in the group. Could have sold several over the course of three weeks.
