Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus: about 24.6 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Works
1 x 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel into the HomePower 3600 Plus (1 panel on DC8020) stays inside 12 to 60 V and under 12 A, even at 20F.
- Jackery's manual: if you use both inputs, keep the voltage on both the same (same panel model, same number of panels), or the unit can be damaged.
- Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus: about 24.6 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Can I connect two 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel panels to the HomePower 3600 Plus?
Yes, 1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020. That gives about 200 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel to the HomePower 3600 Plus?
Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel goes from 22.5 V on its label to about 24.6 V at 20°F and 25.4 V at 0°F. The HomePower 3600 Plus accepts up to 60 V on the DC8020.

Other panels that work with the HomePower 3600 Plus
- Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus: solar input 12 to 60 V on the Solar in 1 (DC8020). Jackery sets this limit on open-circuit voltage (Voc), so we hold the panels' Voc on your coldest morning to it.
- Cold raises panel voltage: we add 0.30% per °C below 77F (25°C), a typical figure, since this panel does not publish its own. At 20F one panel's 22.5 V becomes 24.6 V.
- Current over the 12 A cap is safe: the station takes 12 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 500 W on this input, 1,000 W across all inputs.
- Cold-morning voltage uses 0.30% per °C, typical for crystalline panels. This panel's own value is not published.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
