AIMS Power 360W Foldable Monocrystalline Solar Panel With Carrying Case

The AIMS Power 360W Foldable Solar Panel Folds to a 27.75 Inch Square in Its Carrying Case and Opens to 360W of Monocrystalline Power

The AIMS Power 360W Foldable Solar Panel (PV360FOLD) is a portable monocrystalline panel rated at 360W with 18% module efficiency. Unfolded, it measures 124.25 x 27.75 x 0.75 inches; folded, it packs down to 27.75 x 27.75 x 3 inches and goes into its included carrying case. It weighs 25 lbs.

It's designed for travel, camping, home backup charging and other off-grid uses where you want solar power you can set up, move and put away. The panel uses an ETFE front material, tempered glass and a rugged frame, carries an IP65 rating for outdoor use, and connects through MC4 compatible connectors.

AIMS Power 360W Foldable Solar Panel Features

360W From Monocrystalline Cells

Monocrystalline cells give the panel a maximum power rating of 360W at 18% module efficiency. At maximum power it produces 43.68V and 8.24A, which gives you a strong charging input from a single portable panel.

Folds Down for Transport and Storage

AIMS's photos show four panel sections that fold together into a 27.75 x 27.75 x 3 inch package. The included carrying case keeps it together for the trip and for storage between uses.

Fold-Out Legs Hold It Up

AIMS's photos show fold-out legs on the back of the panel, and the dimension photo shows it standing 16 inches high on them. Set it up on the ground facing the sun, then reposition it as the day goes on.

ETFE Front, Tempered Glass and a Rugged Frame

AIMS builds the PV360FOLD with ETFE front material, tempered glass and a rugged frame for long-term outdoor durability. It's IP65 rated for outdoor use and built to withstand harsh weather while maintaining consistent solar performance.

MC4 Compatible Connectors

The panel's 14.5 inch cable ends in MC4 compatible connectors, which simplifies connection to compatible solar charging systems such as a charge controller or a power station with a matching solar input.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), so the panel can go along on cold-weather trips and hot summer camping alike.

Real-World Applications

Camping and travel. Pack the folded panel in its case, set it up at camp and charge your batteries or power station during the day.

Home backup charging. Keep the panel stored at home and unfold it during an outage to recharge a backup power system.

Off-grid adventures. Use portable solar where space and weight matter, then fold it away when you move on.

Stationary setups. AIMS also lists stationary installations among its uses, where convenience and efficiency matter.

Practical Comparison

Foldable Panel Versus a Rigid Roof-Mounted Panel

A rigid roof-mounted panel stays in one place and takes whatever sun reaches the roof. The PV360FOLD sets up where the sun is, can be repositioned during the day and folds into its case when you leave.

One Folding Panel Versus Several Small Portable Panels

Reaching 360W with several small portable panels means more pieces to carry, set up and connect. This panel delivers 360W through one set of MC4 compatible connectors and folds into one case.

Buyer Guidance

Check Your Solar Input Voltage

The open circuit voltage is 52.42V and the short circuit current is 8.9A. Before you connect, make sure your power station or charge controller's solar input accepts that voltage and current. AIMS lists a maximum system voltage of 200VDC and a maximum series fuse of 15A, so plan any series wiring of more than one panel within both ratings.

Plan for Size and Weight

Unfolded, the panel is 124.25 inches long, so give it a clear, level spot to stand. Folded, it's a 27.75 inch square, 3 inch thick package weighing 25 lbs.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want portable solar for camping or travel
• You need to store a panel between uses
• Your solar input accepts 52.42V open circuit voltage
• You want 360W from one folding panel

Common Questions

What Are the Electrical Ratings?

Maximum power is 360W. Voltage at maximum power (Vmp) is 43.68V, current at maximum power (Imp) is 8.24A, open circuit voltage (Voc) is 52.42V and short circuit current (Isc) is 8.9A. Power tolerance is ±5W.

How Big Is It Folded?

Folded, it measures 27.75 x 27.75 x 3 inches. Unfolded, it measures 124.25 x 27.75 x 0.75 inches.

Can I Connect It to a Power Station?

It uses MC4 compatible connectors, which connect to compatible solar charging systems. Check that your power station's solar input accepts the panel's 52.42V open circuit voltage and its current, and use an adapter cable if the input isn't MC4.

Can It Handle Outdoor Weather?

AIMS rates it IP65 for outdoor use and says it's built to withstand harsh weather. When you're done, folding it into the carrying case makes it easy to store.
