WATTSTUNDE SolarBuddys – Energy to take with you.
The new WATTSTUNDE® SolarBuddy combines the lightness of solar bags with the robustness of solar cases and supplies you with power flexibly – exactly where you need it.
The solar module to take with you:
A solar bag is a foldable solar module. It consists of one or more solar panels integrated into a fabric bag. The advantage over a permanently installed solar system is obvious ->
The solar bag can be set up flexibly in the sun when needed and does not have to be permanently mounted on the vehicle.
The days when your motorhome or car had to be parked unfavorably in the sun are over. You can park comfortably in the shade and still soak up the sun. Whether in the garden, camping or on the boat - wherever there is no power outlet, power is now always available!
Even without a charge controller – always ready for use:
Of course, the SolarBuddy is most powerful when used together with a charge controller and a battery for storing the generated energy.
Since batteries and charge controllers are not always available in leisure use, we equipped our Solar Buddy with 2 USB ports for direct charging options. The two connections are located in the handle and offer you direct connection options for your USB devices even without a charge controller and battery.
Robust and flexible:
The WATTSTUNDE® SolarBuddy Hardcover Solar Bag is both robust and space-saving, giving you a high degree of flexibility. The solar bag scores with the ability to be freely aligned at any time. Whether behind the windshield while parked or outdoors, the fold-out support feet always help you find the optimal position.
The robust polyamide fabric makes the SolarBuddy your perfect companion for outdoor use - nevertheless, as with any technical device, care should be taken to ensure that no moisture or water reaches sensitive areas such as under the cover of the USB ports. We recommend not leaving the SolarBuddy outside overnight. (This is an electrical device for using solar energy – meaning it does not tolerate condensation or rain.)
Great power, low weight:
To increase flexibility, we designed the SolarBuddy to be extra lightweight. This makes it easy to set up and carry. Nevertheless, we did not compromise on power.
Our SolarBuddy has a high efficiency of 18%. This allows you to charge your devices even in poorer lighting conditions. The monocrystalline solar modules are not only powerful, they also increase service life. This means you will enjoy your mobile WATTSTUNDE® SolarBuddy for a long time.
Individual configuration:
Not only the use (or free alignment) of our SolarBuddy is flexible - but also its connection options.
You can tailor your SolarBuddy exactly to your needs by choosing the charge controller and battery for storage that suit you best.

Tip: If terms like charge controller and battery still raise questions for you, you can contact one of our competent advisors at any time and work with them to find the optimal configuration for you.
Follow the sun:
The free alignment of the SolarBuddy makes it possible to track the sun in order to generate optimal yields at all times. Set up at a 45° angle, it can capture the last rays of sunshine even in spring and autumn, when conventional solar solutions only produce low currents due to the low position of the sun. Cars in particular usually do not offer enough space on their small roof areas for conventional solar modules; in exactly this case, a SolarBuddy is a real alternative to a solar bag.
Perfect for those who park in the shade and anyone who values flexibility.
Please note that no charge controller is included in the scope of delivery of the SolarBuddy WS100SB . The reason is that in most cases charge controllers are already available or customers would like to choose a charge controller themselves.
For example, we recommend the following MPPT controllers that match the bag:
WATTSTUNDE® TARA Flow 75V 20A MPPT Solar Charge Controller
Votronic MPP 170 CI
Victron MPPT SmartSolar 75/10
