BioLite SolarPanel 100 review
Recharging a power station through a longer off-grid stint or multi-day power cut.
By Tom Rowland · Updated 20 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker
A well-made 100W panel with a genuinely quick, foolproof setup and a useful 45W USB-C output for charging devices directly. It is premium-priced and fairly heavy for the job, so it only earns its keep if you are pairing it with a sizeable power station rather than topping up a phone.
Approximate typical UK street price as of Jul 2026, based on Amazon.co.uk (~£376) and specialist outdoor retailers; stock is patchy as several UK shops have begun phasing the model out, so pricing varies.

- Patented alignment stand takes the guesswork out of angling to the sun, packed to power in under a minute
- 45W USB-C plus USB-A means you can charge a laptop or tablet directly without a separate power station
- Efficient monocrystalline cells and durable ETFE lamination hold up well to field use
- Expensive per watt against rivals from Jackery or Anker
- At 4.3kg it is heavier than comparable folding panels, and it is water resistant rather than fully waterproof
