VTOMAN Solar Panels: Which Wattage Fits Your Power Station?

VTOMAN is best known for portable power stations, the big rechargeable batteries with outlets that people take camping or keep for power cuts. The brand also sells folding solar panels to recharge those stations and small gadgets from the sun. If you are new to solar, the numbers can feel confusing, so this guide explains them plainly and helps you match a VTOMAN solar panel to what you actually own. We compared the listings, specifications and stated compatibility of each panel rather than testing them ourselves.
The four panels here step up in size and job: a 40W pocket-sized panel for phones, a 110W panel for Jump-series stations, a 200W lightweight panel for mid-size stations, and the 400W VS400 for FlashSpeed stations that can take a lot of solar power at once.

VTOMAN 40W Foldable Small Solar Panel
Best for: Hikers charging phones and small gadgets
Pros
- Only 1.8 pounds
- USB-A and USB-C PD30W ports
- IP67 with ETFE coating
- Carabiners included
Cons
- Too small for big power stations
- No power station connector listed
The VTOMAN 40W Foldable Small Solar Panel is the one you can clip to a backpack. It folds to about 11 by 12 by 0.94 inches and weighs roughly 1.8 pounds. Watts (W) describe how much power a panel can produce in strong, direct sun; 40W is enough for phones, tablets and power banks, but it will refill a large power station very slowly. Real output is usually lower than the rated number, because clouds, angle and heat all reduce it.
Instead of a big power station plug, it has two ports built in: one USB-A and one USB-C with PD30W, a fast-charging standard many newer phones and some laptops use. The listing names phones, iPads, laptops, cameras, GPS units, power banks and small portable power stations as things it can charge. It uses monocrystalline cells with a claimed 25% conversion rate (how much sunlight becomes electricity), an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and an ETFE coating, a tough, clear plastic layer that protects the cells. You get the panel, two carabiners and a manual, plus four corner holes for hanging on a tent. The listing advises angling it at 45° toward the sun and notes that shade can cut output by up to 70%. Warranty is not stated in this listing.
The VTOMAN 40W solar panel suits hikers, campers and festival-goers who want to keep a phone alive, and makes a thoughtful gift for an outdoorsy friend. For recharging a power station, step up to one of the bigger panels. For keeping a car or boat battery topped up instead, see our solar battery tender guide.

VTOMAN 110W 19V Portable Solar Panel
Best for: Jump 600X and Jump 1500X owners
Pros
- 19V with MC-4 adapter
- Two adjustable kickstands
- 2-year warranty
Cons
- Not for FlashSpeed 1500
- Heavier than the 200W panel
The VTOMAN 110W 19V Portable Solar Panel (model VS110) is designed to charge a power station. Its 19V working voltage matters: voltage is like water pressure, and each power station accepts a certain voltage range on its solar input. The listing names the VTOMAN Jump 600X, Jump 1500X and Jump 1800 as compatible, and clearly says it is not suitable for the FlashSpeed 1500. It also says it can work with other power stations that have matching plugs and voltage.
It comes with an MC-4 connector (the standard solar plug) and one adapter to Anderson, XT60 and DC5521, three common plug styles on power stations. It claims up to 23% conversion from monocrystalline cells, sets up on two adjustable kickstands, and has four holes for hanging on a balcony or RV. The listing says it folds to 25.6 by 23.7 by 1.4 inches and weighs 12.5 pounds; the separate dimension field says 51.6 inches long, which appears to be the unfolded length. It is IP67 rated but the listing says not to leave it in rain or soak it. It carries a 2-year warranty.
The VTOMAN 110W solar panel suits Jump-series owners who want a manageable panel for weekend camping or backup power. It is a sensible first panel for someone who just received a Jump station as a gift. If you own a FlashSpeed station, look at the VS400 instead.
VTOMAN VS400 Foldable Solar Panel 400W for FlashSpeed Stations

VTOMAN VS400 Foldable Solar Panel 400W 43V for Power Station
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
VTOMAN VS400 Foldable Solar Panel 400W
Best for: FlashSpeed power station owners
Pros
- Most power at 400W
- Fits FlashSpeed 1000 to Pro 3600
- Three kickstands, eight hanging holes
Cons
- Heavy at 34.2 pounds
- Voltage listed as 43V and 40V
The VTOMAN VS400 Foldable Solar Panel 400W is the most powerful panel in the lineup and the one to pick for larger stations. The listing names the FlashSpeed 1000, FlashSpeed 1500, FlashSpeed 2400 and FlashSpeed Pro 3600, plus the Jump 1800 if bought on or after 1 December 2023.
Voltage details are not consistent: the title says 43V, while the specifications list 40V maximum and 40V output with 10.4A. Either way, it is a much higher voltage than the smaller panels, which is why it is paired with stations built for it. It includes an MC-4 connector and an adapter to Anderson, XT60, XT90 and DC5521, has three kickstands and eight hanging holes, and claims up to 25% conversion. It folds to 25.6 by 41.8 by 2 inches and weighs 34.2 pounds, so it is a two-hand carry. It is IP67 splash-resistant but not meant for rain or soaking, and has a 2-year warranty.
The VTOMAN VS400 suits people running a big power station for home backup, RV living or long off-grid stays. For a smaller station or easier carrying, the 200W panel is friendlier. Our solar generator guide explains how panels and stations work together for backup power.

VTOMAN 200W Upgraded Portable Solar Panel for Power Station

VTOMAN 200W Upgraded Portable Solar Panel
Best for: RV and camping trips with mid-size stations
Pros
- 200W at 13.33 pounds
- 4-in-1 adapter with XT90
- Up to 25% conversion
Cons
- Unfolds to over 83 inches long
- Waterproof claims differ from siblings
The VTOMAN 200W Upgraded Portable Solar Panel packs twice the wattage of the 110W panel into a slightly heavier body of 13.33 pounds. It folds to 22.5 by 23.6 by 2 inches but unfolds to 83.2 inches long, so you need a clear stretch of ground or an RV roof edge.
It has a 16.2V working voltage and ships with a 4-in-1 adapter from MC-4 to Anderson, XT60, XT90 and DC5521. The listing names the Jump 600X, Jump 1500X, Jump 1800 and FlashSpeed 1000 as compatible. It claims up to 25% conversion, built-in adjustable kickstands and metal grommets for hanging on awnings. Its IP67 description goes further than the other panels, mentioning protection against rain and temporary immersion, while the 110W and VS400 listings say not to leave those panels in rain. Treat it with the same care as the others. The listing does not mention a warranty.
The VTOMAN 200W solar panel suits RV travelers, boaters and campers with a mid-size station who want more power without the weight of the VS400. It is also the most flexible choice if you might upgrade from a Jump station to a FlashSpeed 1000 later, since both are on its list.
How to Choose the Right VTOMAN Solar Panel
Start with your power station. Check which models each listing names. FlashSpeed owners should look at the VS400 (and the 200W for the FlashSpeed 1000). Jump owners should look at the 110W or 200W. The 40W is for small devices.
Match voltage and wattage. Your station’s manual lists a maximum solar input in watts and a voltage range. A panel above that range may not work, and a panel with more watts than the station accepts will not charge any faster. Our power station solar panel guide explains how to read those numbers.
Think about weight and space. 1.8 pounds for the 40W, around 12.5-13.3 for the 110W and 200W, and 34.2 for the VS400. Also check the unfolded length, especially for the 200W.
Check connectors. MC-4 is standard; the included adapters cover Anderson, XT60 and DC5521 on all station panels, with XT90 added on the 200W and VS400.
FAQ
Can I use the VTOMAN 40W panel with a power station?
The listing mentions small portable power stations via its USB ports, but it has no MC-4 or station plug listed, so it suits phones and gadgets best.
Does the VS110 work with the FlashSpeed 1500?
No. The listing clearly says it is not suitable for the FlashSpeed 1500.
Are VTOMAN panels waterproof?
All four list IP67. The 110W and VS400 listings still warn against rain and soaking, so pack them away in wet weather.
How should I position a solar panel?
Face it at the sun, around a 45° angle as the 40W listing suggests, and avoid any shade; partial shade can sharply cut output. Adjust the angle a few times a day to follow the sun.
What does conversion efficiency mean?
It is the share of sunlight turned into electricity. VTOMAN lists 23% for the 110W and up to 25% for the others.
Which VTOMAN solar panel is best for beginners?
If you own a Jump station, the 110W or 200W is easy to handle and set up. If you only need phone charging, the 40W is the simplest, with no adapters to worry about.
