The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 43,000, brand new and sealed in Black. Its monocrystalline cells reach up to 23.5% efficiency, and the panel folds down for carrying between sites. Output comes through an MC4 connector rated at 18V, plus USB-A Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C ports at 18W each for phones. An IP67 rating guards against dust and splashes. You can see the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel unfolded at our store in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you commit to buying it.
Designed for NGO field staff, survey teams, campers and off-grid homes, the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel turns strong equatorial sunshine into usable charge. KPLC outages still cut lights and Wi-Fi in Nairobi estates for hours, and field teams in Turkana or Laikipia often work days away from the nearest socket. Paired with a portable power station, the panel refills a battery bank during the day so laptops, routers, lights and phones keep running at night. Weekend campers at Lake Naivasha get the same independence. The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel then folds flat and stores in a cupboard between trips.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell folding panels with little explanation, Mascom International walks you through the connectors, the adapter cable and the power station you already own. We back the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a folding panel changes how they plan for blackouts and field trips, since charging no longer depends on the grid.

Common Questions About the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel
How much is the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel in Kenya?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel costs KSh 43,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, in sealed retail packaging. The price includes the Black folding panel, the MC4 to XT60 adapter cable Powerology lists with it, a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. Measured against its 200W rating, that works out to KSh 215 per watt of peak output. Pay through Lipa na M-Pesa or cash in store, or settle with the rider when it reaches your home or field office.
What devices can the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel charge?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel charges phones, earbuds and small tablets directly through its USB-A Quick Charge 3.0 and USB-C ports, each rated at 18W. For laptops, lights, small fridges and routers, connect it to a portable power station through the MC4 output and the MC4 to XT60 cable. The power station stores the energy and supplies the AC sockets those devices need. Before you buy, check that your power station accepts an XT60 or MC4 solar input and a 21.6V open-circuit voltage.
How long does the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel take to charge a power station?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel delivers up to 200 watt-hours for each hour of full, direct sun, so a 1,000Wh power station needs at least five such hours. Real output runs below the rating because of sun angle, cloud, heat, dust on the cells and the power station's own input limit. Face the panel squarely at the sun and turn it every couple of hours. During the long rains, plan charging around the clearest part of the day and expect slower refills.
Will the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel cope with Kenyan dust, rain and heat?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel carries an IP67 rating and an ETFE-laminated surface, so murram road dust and sudden afternoon showers will not easily harm it. It is rated to operate between -10°C and 65°C, which covers midday heat in Garissa or Lodwar. Powerology also describes it as splash proof, so fold it away during heavy downpours and never leave it lying in standing water. Wipe dust off the cells with a soft damp cloth, because a dusty surface reduces how much charge you collect.
Can the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel keep my home running during KPLC outages?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel keeps essentials running through KPLC outages when you pair it with a portable power station. The panel tops up the station's battery during daylight, and the station then runs a Wi-Fi router, LED lights, phone chargers and a laptop through the evening. It will not support an electric cooker, kettle or instant shower, since those draw far more energy than one panel replaces in a day. Households with frequent evening cuts gain the most, because recharging happens while the grid is still unreliable.
Is the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel better than a fixed rooftop solar panel?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel suits buyers who move, while a fixed rooftop panel of similar wattage suits buyers who stay put. The portable panel folds, travels in a car boot and plugs straight into power stations and phones. A rooftop glass panel is heavier and needs mounting, a charge controller, a battery and often an installer, though it stays in place and usually costs less per watt. Pick the portable panel for camping, field work and rented homes; pick a rooftop system for permanent home backup.
Does the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel need a charge controller?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel needs no extra controller when you charge phones from its USB ports or feed a portable power station, because the station regulates the input itself. You do need a solar charge controller between the panel and a bare 12V lead-acid or lithium battery, since a direct connection risks overcharging. MC4 is the standard solar connector, so most controllers accept it with the right lead. Match the controller to the panel's 21.6V open-circuit voltage and 13.3A short-circuit current.
Who should buy the Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel, and who should skip it?
The Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel suits campers, NGO field staff, survey crews, event organisers and renters who own or plan to buy a portable power station. It also suits families who want daytime recharging to carry them through evening blackouts without a roof installation. Skip it if you want to run a whole house, a fridge around the clock or a borehole pump; a fixed rooftop system with a qualified installer is the better fit. Skip it too if you only charge phones, since a solar power bank costs far less.
Technical Specifications
Solar Cells and Electrical Output
- 200W peak power — the panel's rated output in full, direct sunlight under standard test conditions; everyday output runs lower.
- Monocrystalline cells — single-crystal silicon that converts more sunlight per square centimetre than older polycrystalline cell types.
- Up to 23.5% cell efficiency — close to a quarter of the sunlight hitting each cell becomes usable electricity.
- 18V at peak power with 11.11A — the voltage and current the panel delivers when working at its rated 200W.
- 21.6V open-circuit voltage — the highest voltage with nothing connected; confirm your power station or controller accepts it.
- 13.3A short-circuit current — the current ceiling, useful when you size a charge controller or check cable ratings.
Output Ports and Device Compatibility
- MC4 18V output — the standard solar connector, accepted by most charge controllers and many power station solar inputs.
- MC4 to XT60 cable, 0.5m — converts the panel output to the XT60 plug many portable power stations use for solar charging.
- USB-A with Quick Charge 3.0 at 18W — fast-charges compatible Android phones straight from the panel with no battery in between.
- USB-C at 18W — charges phones, earbuds and small tablets directly while the panel sits out in the sun.
- Power station pairing — works with stations whose solar input accepts a 21.6V open-circuit voltage and an XT60 or MC4 plug.
- Battery banks — a separate solar charge controller is needed before connecting to a bare 12V lead-acid or lithium battery.
Build and Weather Resistance
- ETFE lamination — a clear fluoropolymer top layer that resists scratches, ultraviolet fading and stains over years of outdoor use.
- IP67 rating — high protection against dust and water; Powerology also calls it splash proof, so fold it away in downpours.
- Operating range of -10°C to 65°C — keeps working through cold highland mornings and hot lowland afternoons alike.
- Foldable design — the panel folds flat into a compact pack that fits in a car boot or field vehicle.
- Black finish — a dark, uniform surface that hides dust marks and looks tidy at a campsite or on a balcony.
- USB ports in the junction box — phones plug in at the panel itself, with no separate adapter or extra box to carry.
Real-World Charging Expectations
- 200 watt-hours per hour of full sun — the arithmetic ceiling; cloud, heat, dust and panel angle reduce what you actually collect.
- About five full-sun hours for 1,000Wh — a rough guide to refilling a mid-size power station on a clear day.
- Angle matters — tilting the panel to face the sun directly and turning it through the day collects noticeably more energy.
- Heat lowers output — solar cells lose some efficiency as they warm, so airflow behind the panel helps on hot afternoons.
- Shade cuts output sharply — even a branch shadow across part of the panel can drop charging far below the rating.
Inclusions and Setup
- Powerology 200W Portable Solar Panel in Black — the folding monocrystalline panel exactly as described on its published specification sheet.
- MC4 to XT60 cable, 0.5m — the listed accessory lead for linking the panel to an XT60 power station input.
- Built-in USB-A and USB-C ports — no extra adapter needed to charge phones directly from the panel in the field.
- 12-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Setup help in store — our team shows you how to connect it to the power station or controller you already own.
