Weighing just 17.2 lbs and folding down to the size of a briefcase, the 400W SolarBag is 50% smaller and lighter than competing 400W products, making it perfect for all your outdoor adventures.

The 400W SolarBag features a zippered modular design that splits into two 200W panels. Use them separately to charge your solar system and deep cycle batteries via the S1 or to power stations and small devices directly—adaptable for different needs on the go.

The 400W SolarBag works with most power stations—just plug in, or use an adapter for full compatibility.

Set up your solar panels wherever the sun is shining brightest—on your rooftop, on the grass, or the side of your RV. The included carabiner hook and power extension cable make securing the panels and extending their reach easy, ensuring you capture every bit of solar energy. 

Experience 25% ultra-high conversion efficiency with N-Type solar cells in the OptiSolex Solar Kits, maximizing performance and longevity through industry-leading technology.

Compared to similar products, we guarantee real, unexaggerated power. Under bright sunlight, the system can deliver up to 400W, with typical output ranging from 340W to 360W even when laid flat, at least 10% higher than most alternatives.

The SolexBrick S1 takes the SolarBag Kit to the next level, offering direct connection to batteries with no need for additional controllers. With a 20-foot 8AWG power extension cable, you can easily place the panels in sunny spots far from your vehicle, ensuring a stable 400W power output.

Enjoy high-power charging without the hassle thanks to the S1. Just plug it into the back of the SolarBag, and you’re ready to charge your RV batteries directly—no expensive controllers or complicated setups required. More power, more savings, and more adventure.

On the Playa, power isn’t just watts—it’s music, lights, cold drinks, and helping your neighbor charge their radio.

The OptiSolex SolarBag delivers a true 400W, so you can light up your camp, charge more gear, and stay powered longer. It splits into two 200W panels—use both to cover more ground, or pass one to a neighbor. Compact and lightweight, it fits easily in your trunk. Whether you’re rolling solo or rolling deep, it’s plug-and-play, dust-proof, and Burner-tested. No tools, no guesswork—just freedom in the dust.

The S1 is built for more than just charging. Think mixed-use, shadow resistance, and power like you’ve never seen before. This is tech designed for real adventure. Stick around, we’re about to show you how the S1 takes your outdoor experience to the next level!

Mixing different solar panels can be risky, causing issues for the whole system. But with our S1 controllers, you can mix and match solar panels of different specifications and brands. Expand your existing solar system without modifying or replacing anything. You get more power, more space, and a smarter setup.

Unlike traditional systems where shading on one panel affects the entire array, the S1 controller optimizes each panel individually, ensuring unshaded panels continue to perform at full capacity. It’s the ideal solution for shadow-resistant panels, eliminating imbalances and efficiency loss caused by panels facing different directions.

Traditional solar setups can be frustratingly complex, time-consuming, and often unreliable. But with the beginner-friendly design of the S1, setting up is simple. Just connect the S1 to the panels, link them, and hook up the battery—no experience required. In 5 minutes, you’re ready to go. More time for adventure, less time on setup.

The Secrets Behind SolexBrick S1

For peak performance, we recommend pairing each panel with its own SolexBrick S1. But even a single S1 unit managing your entire array delivers smarter, more efficient control than most traditional solar charge controllers. Whether you’re ready to go all-in or start with one, S1 is a next-gen upgrade—powerful, flexible, and built to perform.

Traditional solar controllers are clunky, prone to overheating, and made from aging plastic. The S1 is sleek, efficient, and built to last. It’s lightweight, offers top-tier heat dissipation, and is designed to handle your solar system’s needs without the drawbacks of old tech.

The SolarBag 400 is designed for durability with a glass fiber and ETFE substrate that withstands foot traffic and bending. Featuring dual waterproof protection and an IP65 rating, it ensures reliable functionality in wet conditions. It also offers dual USB-A and USB-C ports for simultaneous charging of multiple devices.

With the SolexBrick S1, our 200W Mountable Solar Panels can be freely mixed and arranged with other panels to make full use of roof space. Plus, advanced shade tolerance ensures maximum energy output of the whole system. With overload protection and safe voltage design, this system ensures easy installation, eliminates electric shock risk, and guarantees long-term performance.

With every component of the ecosystem—400W Portable SolarBag, 200W Mountable Solar Panels, and SolexBrick S1—designed to work together, you’ll achieve optimal performance. The mountable panels feature S1 mounting holes for easy S1 installation, while the SolarBag includes a zipper pocket for S1 storage. With included cables and a quick guide, setup is smooth and hassle-free.

Experience the perfect synergy of the Optisolex 2 X 200W Mountable Solar Kit and 400W Portable SolarBag Kit. Get consistent, all-day energy for your needs, plus the unmatched flexibility of a portable solar solution for those extra miles off the grid.
