I personally wouldn't get this.
First off, these have the most horrible leg stands. These will break off in no time.
They are your typical not so efficient portable solar panels.
I get maybe 65w off of one and 50w off the other.
At the beginning, I get maybe 70w-75w.
Personally I'd rather spend the money and get one of those N-type portable panels.

What are you talking about. How is a 100w panel going to charge 768-1000Kwh in 5 hours? Very unlikely to get that even in a full day. A good general guide is to multiple panel wattage by 5. In real world usage while camping, my 100w Jackery 100w panel in summer puts out between 300-600w. You have to remember that 100w panel isn't putting out 100w. 70-80% is very typical once the panel is hot. You'd also have to keep moving it to get a better sun angle and avoid shading.
Edit: I'd be surprised to find a brand that wasn't compatible with these, especially b/c it looks like they include adapters to multiple solar connectors.
Thanks for the reply, so you would say 500 Wh solar generator is a good all around size for this particular panel? And is that only because you're only getting Max power a limited amount of the day from the panel?

But a more nuanced answer: It'll vary depending on your needs. Your first thought should be "how much power do I need in a day of off-grid power usage?" Once you have that question answered, the best course is to buy a solar generator with capacity that aligns with that (add up the watts of devices you plan to plug in, multiply by the number of hours you'll run them), and then buy enough panels to charge it.
You can assume 6 full-power hours of charging per day (average again, depends on the month and the latitude) at 80% output (most panels won't put out the full rated power). If you wanted a bigger battery like the Jackery 1000 and plan to deplete it every day, you'll want two of these panels. BUT: you could add more panels than I suggested *if* you expect high usage during full-sun hours, or if rapid charging is a priority. Most solar generators will allow for roughly double the input needed to charge fully in a day.

Yup yup, totally understand. I knew this panel was for camping weekends, since it's foldable. Just wasn't sure (until your answer) which battery would be best suited to it for occasional camping use. Thanks so much for your detailed answers! 🙏

Most foldable solar only gets about 50 their "advertised" output.

And the solar panels are just supplementing that. Everyone's needs are different. Personaly i use no less than two 200w panels or two 160w ecoflow panels to charge my delta 2's.
