FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMO, Italy, April 23, 2021 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has confirmed the Golden A' Design Award in the Energy Products, Projects and Devices Design category for Jackery Solar Panel Set by Wei Bai, Zhifeng Tang, Xiaowei Yin and Tao Yang, designed for "Wei Bai""Zhifeng Tang". The award was conferred within the 2020 - 2021 A' Design Award & Competition and was determined through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who evaluated anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.
The Golden A' Design Award Explained
The Gold A' Design Award is granted to designs that demonstrate a high level of innovation and a significant impact on their intended audience. Recognized as a major achievement by the A' Design Awards, these designs are characterized by their visionary approach and the exceptional skill of their creators. Winners of the Gold A' Design Award are noted for their ability to push the envelope in art, science, design, and technology, delivering solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations. These designs serve as benchmarks for excellence, encouraging further innovation and inspiring future generations of designers.
Regarding Jackery Solar Panel Set
Jackery is a foldable solar panel set designed for outdoor use. The photoelectric conversion rate reaches 24 percent, and the panel is IP67 waterproof and dustproof. Two or more units can be connected in parallel to charge an outdoor power supply at the same time, which improves the charging speed. An aluminium frame and silicone corners protect the panel and reduce the total weight. Integrated molding technology and ETFE packaging material provide weather resistance, with a life span of 25 to 30 years. A retractable power cord simplifies connection.
Award Record
This recognition makes Wei Bai, Zhifeng Tang, Xiaowei Yin and Tao Yang a winner of 3 A' Design Awards. The awards were granted in the 2020 - 2021 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Its photoelectric conversion rate is as high as 24%, and the photovoltaic panel is IP67 waterproof and dustproof.Two or more units can be connected in parallel to charge Jackery's outdoor power supply at the same time, improving the charging speed.
- Inspiration
- The solar panel with outdoor attributes is designed based on the problems of non-waterproof, easy-to-damage, non-portable during outdoor use. It combines the PI style of our brand’s energy storage products, realizing a family design of the products. The product adopts aluminum frame and silicone corner to protect the product, while reducing the weight of the product.
- Research
- Research Goal: Making full use of green energy to alleviate global energy pressure and environmental pressure R&D Direction: Utilizing the integrated molding technology of solar cells to realize product iteration Research Method: Data from online research and professional research organization. Impact: It reduces dependence on traditional fuel generators and produces zero pollution and zero noise, which is more environmentally friendly.
- Challenge
- Main challenges, 1. How to cleverly integrate the bracket, the folding method 2. The storage method of the wire 1. The bracket problem is solved through the technological breakthrough in the structure, so that the bracket can be fixed and rotated in a limited space. 2. In terms of the wire storage problem, we add two wire slots to fix wires. 3. We developed a foldable type, which is more portable.
- Realization and Technology
- The product uses integrated molding technology. The product has passed 6 categories of test items, 9 quality test procedures, and complies with UL safety testing standards, coupled with the self-developed BMS battery management system and automatic testing equipment to ensure user safety. It uses ETFE packaging material that has a good performance on weather resistance, and its life span can reach 25-30 years.
- Operation and Interaction
- Users can choose suitable photovoltaic panels according to actual needs. The foldable photovoltaic panels also greatly improve its portability. The photovoltaic panels come with a retractable power cord so that users only need to connect it to charge the power source.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2020 in Shenzhen and will finish in October 2021 in Shenzhen.
- Keywords
- Foldable, high conversion rate, parallelable, green energy, easy-to-store, zero pollution, portable, solar panel
