Charge Your Webetop Power Station With Solar Panels
Webetop sells portable power stations in a couple of different sizes. Although they don’t have a lot of different models, the ones they do sell are popular.
Today I am going to help you find compatible solar panels to charge your Webetop power station/solar generator with.

Let’s list a couple of panels, and whether they’re compatible directly out of the box with the Webetop units, or if you need to use an adapter.
Note that the DC input ports are different on each, so in case you need the adapter make sure you pick the one for your specific model.
The panels that don’t have a checkmark next to “Requires Additional Adapter” in the table below come with several different DC plugs, and don’t need any additional adapters.

The Additional Adapters You Might Need
If you choose a panel above that requires an additional adapter, here are the adapters.
The Webetop 155Wh and 222Wh have a 5.5×2.1mm DC input. So if the solar panel has MC4 connectors, we need to use an adapter like this (click to view on Amazon).
The adapter above can only be connected to a solar panel with MC4 connectors one way, so it’s easy to do.
If you have the Webetop 167Wh, which has a 3.5×1.35mm DC input, you’re going to need an No products found..

How Long Will It Take To Charge The Battery?
Webetop advertises that you can charge the 155Wh model from 0 to 100% in 9 hours with a 50W solar panel. It’s unclear what the maximum input of the other two power stations are so it’s hard to say how long it will take.
I recommend using a panel that is at least 50W with either of the batteries.
How Can I Improve The Charging Efficiency?
You should always angle the solar panel so it’s facing the sun directly. If the sun is low on the horizon, like during the morning and evening, you will lose a lot of power if you lay the solar panel flat on the ground. Tilt it as good as you can, and move the panel throughout the day until the power station is full.
Another thing you should do is make sure there is no shade on the panel. Not even a little bit. Sometimes a tiny shadow can have a big impact on the charging efficiency.
