Space saver, weak in heat
The Longi Solar DLXN Portable series of photovoltaic panels sets new standards in the mobile power category, combining the efficiency of industrial components with full mobility. At the heart of these modules are high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline cells, which guarantee above-average energy conversion even in low-sunlight conditions. This is an ideal solution for people who do not want to give up the performance known from home installations during camper trips or yacht cruises. This series stands out with its exceptionally lightweight, foldable design, which, when folded, resembles a compact bag, significantly facilitating transport and storage in limited spaces. A key element protecting the panel from the rigors of outdoor use is the durable ETFE coating, providing resistance to scratches, UV radiation, and splashes. Unlike budget solutions, DLXN Portable offers stability of current parameters at high temperatures, which translates into realistically higher yields on hot days. Thanks to integrated kickstands and complete cabling, these panels are ready to work in seconds, providing a reliable power source for portable power stations and batteries. It is a professional choice for off-grid enthusiasts who value the branded quality of Longi cells in a mobile version.

Signals from the data
Roofs where every square metre counts and weight-limited structures.
Hot climates.
Top 15% of the 0-200 W band, against a median of 156.3.
Top 18% of the 0-200 W band, against a median of 72.0.
Bottom 6% of the 0-200 W band, against a median of -0.370. Ranked 13,738th in the whole database.
Using N-type cells instead of the older PERC technology results in lower LID/LeTID degradation and better performance under low irradiance and high temperatures, which matters for portable applications with irregular sun exposure.
Most portable panels in the 100 Wp segment use cheaper PET lamination, while the DLXN Portable uses a durable ETFE film resistant to scratches, UV radiation, and splashes - a solution typical of premium brands (e.g., Lensun, SunPower) and rare among tier-1 rigid-panel manufacturers entering the mobile segment.
LONGi Solar is a tier-1 (bankable) manufacturer operating since 2000, giving a real advantage in production quality control and supply stability compared to the niche brands (Easun Power, TPL Solar) that dominate the camping-panel segment.
Integrated stands and complete cabling eliminate the need for additional mounting hardware, shortening setup time in the field - a key advantage when powering portable power stations during van trips or sailing.
A 5-year product warranty exceeds the typical standard for the portable panel segment, where most competing 100 Wp models offer only 1-2 years of coverage.
The stated 17% efficiency is lower than comparable 100 Wp panels: JA Solar Monocrystalline36 (21.29%) and Easun Power FLEXIBLE (19.63%), with the peer group averaging around 18.9%. This means a larger panel area/weight per Watt than some competitors despite using N-type cells.
The DLXN Portable series is offered exclusively in a 100 Wp version, while competitors in the foldable panel segment provide scalable product lines (e.g., 100-400 Wp), limiting flexibility when sizing larger off-grid systems.
- Module efficiency of 17.0% is 4.8pp below average for database panels (median: 21.8%)
- At 183.4 W/m², this panel generates 34.7 W/m² less per unit area than database median (218.1 W/m²)
- At -0.41%/°C, loses 0.11pp more power per degree than database median (-0.30%/°C)
- At 5.8 kg, this panel is 20.7 kg lighter than database median (26.5 kg) - easier handling during installation
- Ranked #13453 out of 14005 panels for efficiency in the database
