400W Monocrystalline Folding Solar Panel IP67 ETFE - Nature's Generator

400W Monocrystalline Folding Solar Panel for Off-Grid Power

The Nature's Generator 400W Folding Solar Panel (Model NG400FPNL) delivers professional-grade solar charging in a portable format. With 400W maximum power output and ~23% cell transfer efficiency, this monocrystalline panel provides reliable energy generation for power stations, RV systems, and off-grid applications.

Technical Specifications

This panel outputs 400W at standard test conditions with a power voltage of 34.41V and power current of 11.62A. Open circuit voltage reaches 39.77V with a short circuit current of 12.21A. The monocrystalline silicon cells are protected by a durable ETFE coating that resists UV degradation and improves light transmission compared to standard PET coatings.

Dimensions when folded: 38.3 × 24 × 3.4 inches (972 × 605 × 85 mm). Unfolded: 97 × 38.3 × 1.4 inches (2462 × 972 × 35 mm). Total weight: 17 lb (7.8 kg). The compact folded size and integrated handle make transport straightforward for RV travel and remote installations.

Durability and Weather Resistance

IP67 ingress protection rating provides water and dust resistance for outdoor use. Operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C ensures functionality across seasons. The ETFE coating offers superior abrasion resistance and maintains panel performance over extended field deployment.

Setup and Compatibility

Includes steel stands for stable positioning, ground stakes for wind resistance, storage bag, and user guide. The integrated MC4 connector provides plug-and-play compatibility with MPPT charge controllers and Nature's Generator power stations. Works with Nature's Generator Lithium 3600, Powerhouse, and other systems using the recommended 50 ft MC4 extension cable.

Performance Benefits

High-efficiency monocrystalline cells maximize energy harvest in limited space. The 400W output significantly reduces charging time for battery banks and portable power stations compared to lower-wattage panels. Steel stand mounting system prevents panel displacement on uneven terrain or in wind conditions.

Support and Warranty

Backed by Nature's Generator customer care with a 30-day return window and lifetime customer support. Industry-standard MC4 connectors and IP67 certification ensure reliable integration with existing solar charging systems.
