Overview

The Jackery SolarSaga 500 X is a high-output 500W bifacial solar array built from six rugged SolarSaga 85 modules connected in parallel. Designed for fast, stable solar input into Jackery power stations, it combines IP68 waterproof protection, wide -40°C to 85°C operating range, and a modular folding design that makes it equally at home on RVs, carports, balconies, and ground-mounted off-grid systems.

Key Features

  • 500W bifacial array: Six-panel parallel configuration delivers up to 500W (545W BNPI) for faster charging and higher daily yield.
  • Bifacial energy harvest: Rear-side generation boosts real-world performance when installed over reflective surfaces.
  • IP68 waterproof and dustproof: Fully outdoor-rated for long-term deployment in harsh environments.
  • Modular hinged design: Hinges and hardware allow a compact folded footprint, quick setup, and stable 35° tilt.
  • Jackery-ready connectivity: Anderson output and 5 m DC8020 charging cable integrate cleanly with compatible Jackery power stations.
  • Broad mounting options: Can be secured to balconies, railings, roofs, and ground locations using included mounting points and stakes.

Applications

  • High-capacity solar input for Jackery Explorer and Plus series power stations
  • RV, camper van, and overland rooftop or ground-deployed solar arrays
  • Off-grid cabins, sheds, and small structures needing dependable DC/AC power when paired with a power station
  • Mobile work sites, outdoor events, and remote job power where quiet solar generation is preferred over generators
  • Home emergency backup charging when used with compatible portable power stations

Industries & Use Cases

  • Recreational vehicle and overland upfitters
  • Residential and light commercial backup power integrators
  • Field service, telecom support, and remote monitoring crews
  • Outdoor recreation, adventure travel, and guiding services
  • Film, photography, and drone teams requiring silent field charging
