EcoFlow 60W Portable Solar Panel | Type-C USB & XT60i
Overview
The EcoFlow 60W Portable Solar Panel (Type-C) is a compact, lightweight foldable panel designed as the ideal solar companion for RIVER 3 and RIVER 2 Series power stations. At just 2.0kg with a folding four-panel structure, it slips into a backpack, ute, or campervan and sets up in seconds for off-grid charging on weekend trips, freedom camping, hiking, or fishing.
It features dual outputs (DC5521 and USB-C), so you can charge a compatible power station via the included DC5521 to XT60i cable, or plug phones, tablets, and other small devices directly into the USB-C port. With TOPCon monocrystalline cells delivering up to 25% conversion efficiency and an IP68 rating with ETFE film, it's built to handle Kiwi weather and brief rain showers.

Designed for Type-C Charging
The 60W Portable Solar Panel supports both DC5521 and Type-C dual outputs. Plug it into a compatible power station via the included DC5521 to XT60i cable to charge an EcoFlow RIVER series unit, or use the Type-C port to charge phones, cameras, tablets, or other small devices directly without needing a power station.
Up to 25% Conversion Rate with TOPCon Cells
As the first mini portable panel to use TOPCon solar technology, the 60W Type-C panel sets a new standard for conversion efficiency at 25%. That means faster charging in a more compact form. Fully charge a RIVER 2 in around 4.7 hours of peak sunlight, and keep your electronics and essential camping gear running for a longer adventure.
More Benefits of Adopting TOPCon
EcoFlow 60W Solar Panel with TOPCon technology delivers higher efficiency and better low-light performance compared to traditional solar panels using older PERC material. For NZ users, this means more usable power on overcast days, in shoulder seasons, and during shorter winter daylight hours.
Extremely Compact, Fits Anywhere
The folding four-panel structure shrinks the panel down significantly when folded, so it fits easily into backpacks, SUV boots, and campervan storage. At only 2.0kg, it's the lightest option in the EcoFlow portable solar range and an easy grab-and-go panel for trips where weight matters.
IP68 Waterproof Rating
With a high IP68 waterproof rating and a protective ETFE film, the panel is built to keep working through brief rain showers and unpredictable Kiwi weather. Suitable for coastal use and tramping trips where the forecast can change quickly, though output will drop significantly in heavy rain or under cloud cover.
Designed for Hanging
Beyond laying it flat or leaning it against your gear, the 60W panel can be hung using the four pre-cut eyelets and included snap hooks. Hang it from your tent, awning, ute canopy, or backpack at the campsite to keep charging while it's secured in place.

Pairs Well With
The 60W Type-C panel is purpose-built for smaller portable power stations and compact DC setups. It's a strong match for the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus as a daily off-grid top-up panel, and a great companion for the EcoFlow TRAIL Plus 300 DC for tent camping, hiking, and fishing trips where weight and pack size matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 60W panel come with a cable to connect it to a power station?
Yes. The panel ships with a DC5521 to XT60i cable (1.5m), which plugs straight into the XT60i solar input port on an EcoFlow RIVER series power station. Four snap hooks are also included for hanging the panel from a tent, ute canopy, or other fixed point.
Can I charge my phone or other devices directly from the panel?
Yes. The 60W panel has a built-in USB-C output rated at 15W max (5V / 3A), so you can plug a phone, tablet, headlamp, or other small USB device straight into the panel without needing a power station in between. The DC5521 port handles the main 60W output for power station charging.
How long does it take to fully charge a RIVER series power station?
Under peak sunlight conditions the panel can fully charge an EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus in around 5-6 hours. Real-world charge times vary based on sun angle, weather, season, and location. Overcast or shoulder-season days in NZ will generate less power than midday sun in summer.
Is it suitable for hiking, fishing, and freedom camping?
Yes. At 2.0kg and folding down to 317 x 309 x 40mm (around the size of a thin book), the 60W panel is easy to pack into a backpack, ute, or campervan. The four pre-cut eyelets and included snap hooks let you secure it to a tent, awning, or backpack at camp, so it's well suited to multi-day tramps, fishing trips, and freedom camping.
Will the panel still generate power on cloudy or rainy days?
The panel generates significantly less power in weak light, since the TOPCon monocrystalline cells rely on direct sunlight to perform at rated output. It still produces some power on overcast days, but at reduced efficiency. The IP68 rating and ETFE film mean it can stay outside during light rain or downpours without damage, just avoid submerging the junction box or connectors.
