Introducing the New Boulder Solar Panels
so guys our new Boulder solar panels got a little bigger a little stronger and a little more powerful so the boulder 50 is replacing the old Boulder 30s and our Boulder hundreds are now replacing our old Boulder 90s so we've got a nice ecosystem going here we've still got the tempered glass the aluminum frames and now reinforced Corners to be able to go out and play wherever you have happen to be out there.
Integrated Kickstands for Optimal Performance
so our new Boulder lineup all comes with integrated kickstands these allow you to tilt your solar panel to point them at the Sun for more solar production it's pretty sweet just on a nice little hinge this kickstand folds in flush with the panel and as you pull it out you just lean the solar panel back point it towards the Sun and you start producing and charging your batteries.
the kickstand is built so it's integrated to a little less than a 45° angle since most solar panels and most outdoor play happens in the summertime we wanted to capture more of that summer sun when it's more direct overhead and less out on the horizon so we've tried to optimize this angle for your benefit.
Enhanced Connectivity and Versatility
so we've made a decision to get away from the mc4 cables and stick to the 8 mm Barrel Jacks this is going to be a safety precaution so that we can only chain our panels in parallel so everything stays at a nice safe 12 volts for the user with our 8 mm chaining cable we can chain up to four of any of our solar panels here that have the 8 mm Barrel Jack to plug in through the Anderson power pole just grab the barrel Jack from the solar panel as you plug it in make sure you push hard enough to hear it snap into place and that's going to give you a nice strong sturdy connection to make sure that you're always transmitting power to your battery.
Different Form Factors and Mounting Options
as you can see our panels come in slightly different form factors between the 50 the 100 and the 100 briefcase the briefcase has a sweet carrying handle so it can go wherever you go and it comes with a bag so you can stuff the panels in there keep them nice and safe from getting scratched while you're out traveling.
the boulder 50 and the boulder 100 both have the kickstand which is a sweet tilt option for portability but that kickstands also removable just in case you do want to permanently Mount these solar panels to any roof and those are our brand new Boulder solar panels with improved features and capabilities for a wonderful user experience and if you need any more information or for purchasing just go to go zero.com

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the new Boulder solar panel models and what do they replace?
A: The new Boulder 50 solar panel replaces the old Boulder 30s, and the Boulder 100 models replace the old Boulder 90s.
Q: How do the integrated kickstands on the Goal Zero Boulder 100 series improve solar production?
A: The integrated kickstands allow you to tilt your solar panel to point them at the sun for more solar production. They are built to an angle of a little less than 45 degrees, optimized to capture more direct summer sun when it's overhead.
Q: What type of connectivity do the new Boulder panels use, and how many can be chained together?
A: The new Boulder panels use 8 mm Barrel Jacks instead of MC4 cables for safety. They can be chained in parallel using an 8 mm chaining cable, allowing up to four panels to be connected while maintaining a safe 12 volts for the user.
