Detailed overview: Anker Solix PS400 400W portable solar panel
The Anker Solix PS400 portable solar panel is the large-format model in the brand's nomadic range, built to quickly recharge the most capacious power stations. Its monocrystalline cells reach up to 23% conversion efficiency, which Anker states as 1.5 times more captured power than a standard panel of equivalent surface area.
Once unfolded (2591 x 913 x 30 mm), it rests on a built-in stand offering 4 adjustable angles (30°, 40°, 50° and 80°), letting you precisely fine-tune sun exposure by season and time of day. Connection is via a standard MC4 connector, compatible with most power stations on the market, either directly or through an adapter.
On durability, it carries IP67 certification against water and dust, along with an ETFE fluoropolymer coating and multi-layer protection to withstand repeated outdoor handling. Despite its 400W, it remains foldable for transport, but its 15.9 kg weight makes it a panel built for a base camp rather than light everyday nomadic use.
Backed by a 2-year warranty, the PS400 is recommended by Anker to pair with its most powerful power stations, notably the F2000 range. It is the pick for anyone wanting to quickly recharge a large capacity in the sun, on an extended camping trip, in a van, or at a holiday home.

☀ How fast does this panel recharge a power station?
The Anker Solix PS400 panel (400 W) recharges une Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 (1070 Wh) in ~3h50 or une EcoFlow Delta 2 Max (2048 Wh) in ~7h20, in full sun.
| Compact / mid | Recharge |
|---|---|
| Jackery Explorer 100 Plus (99 Wh) | ~20 min |
| EcoFlow River 2 Pro (768 Wh) | ~2h45 |
| EcoFlow River 3 Max Plus (sans fil) (858 Wh) | ~3h05 |
| DJI Power 1000 (1024 Wh) | ~3h40 |
| High capacity | Recharge |
|---|---|
| EcoFlow Delta 2 Max (2048 Wh) | ~7h20 |
| Allpowers R3500 V2 (2880 Wh) | ~10h |
| Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 (3072 Wh) | ~11h |
| Fossibot F3600 Pro (3840 Wh) | ~14h |
Estimate in full sun (ideal conditions). In practice, count on 3 to 5 hours of truly useful sunlight per day, so a full recharge may span several days depending on weather and orientation.

Comparison
Around $609.30-800, the Anker Solix PS400 compares with large portable solar panels of 350 to 400W, targeted by searches like "powerful portable solar panel" or "400W foldable solar panel". Here is how it stacks up against two references already in the catalogue: the EcoFlow 400W panel and the EcoFlow 220W panel.
| Criterion | Anker Solix PS400 | EcoFlow 400W | EcoFlow 220W |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | 400W | 400W | 220W |
| Design | Mono-facial (23%) | Bifacial (up to 25%) | Bifacial |
| Stand / angle | 4 angles (30-80°) | 3 angles + guide | 30-60° + guide |
| Waterproofing | IP67 | IP68 | IP68 |
| Observed price | ≈ $578.97 | not yet listed (pre-order) | ≈ $472.55 |
In short, the PS400 stands out for its 4-angle stand, the most adjustable in this comparison, and a competitive promotional price. The EcoFlow 400W keeps the edge with its bifacial design and a slightly higher IP68 rating, though it remains on pre-order in this market. For anyone who already owns an Anker Solix station and wants to recharge it as fast as possible, the PS400 remains the most coherent choice.
Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
The PS400 does exactly what you'd expect from a large portable panel: once unfolded, its 400W visibly recharges a large power station faster than an entry-level panel. The 4-angle stand (30 to 80°) is a real plus over conventional 2 or 3-notch stands, letting you fine-tune exposure by season and time of day. IP67 waterproofing is reassuring against a surprise shower while camping, and the MC4 connector remains the most widely used standard, compatible with most stations on the market via an adapter. Our main reservation: at 15.9 kg unfolded (2.6 m long), this is clearly not a panel for light nomadic use, more suited to a fixed base camp. Anker also states it is not built to stay installed outdoors permanently. For quickly recharging a large Anker Solix station on a van trip or extended camping, it does the job without surprises.
Frequently asked questions: Anker Solix PS400 400W portable solar panel
Anker recommends pairing it with the Anker Solix F2000 station, but it works with any station that accepts a solar input up to 60V via an MC4 connector.
Its built-in stand offers 4 adjustable angles (30°, 40°, 50° and 80°) to optimise sun exposure throughout the day and by season.
No, despite its IP67 rating, it is designed to be unfolded then stored away, not for a permanent fixed installation on a roof or vehicle.
It remains foldable, but at 15.9 kg and 913 x 659 mm folded, it is a bulky panel, better suited to a fixed base camp than light everyday nomadic use.
