FAQ's

Q: Does the Spectre 200W store power?

A: No—this is a solar panel only. It’s designed to recharge power stations and solar generators (especially the Recon lineup) using sunlight.

Title

Q: What’s the best way to use the Spectre 200W?

A: For the fastest recharge, pair it with a Recon Solar Generator and place the panel in direct sun. If you need more solar input, you can chain up to three Spectre 200W panels into a 600W array.

Title

Q: What can I plug this into?

A: The Spectre 200W is built for maximum compatibility. It uses MC4 for chaining and includes output options (XT60, APP, DC8020, DC7909) to connect to a wide range of power stations.

RUGGED WHERE IT COUNTS

Unlike standard consumer panels, Spectre is encased in a high-denier abrasion-resistant shell with reinforced fold points—made to handle rough ground, high UV, and constant travel.

SCALE UP TO 600W

Need more solar? Chain up to three Spectre 200W panels using integrated MC4 connectors and build a 600W solar array for rapid charging large generators when time matters. By chaining 3 units together you can fully charge a Recon 2000 in as little as 4 hours.
