The 4x4 van you call home wasn't built to be tethered to RV lots and pay-to-play campsites—get away from the closest power outlet with the Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase. Being the largest of Goal Zero's monocrystalline solar panels, the Boulder 200 provides a max output of 200 watts, enabling it to charge a Goal Zero Yeti 400 in just 4-8 hours or the 1000 in 10-20; that's plenty of time for you to go climb for the day, explore a desert slot canyon, or go for a day hike and return to a fully charged power station.
It would be a disservice to talk about the Boulder 200 without mentioning its compact design. The two panels are joined by a hinge that enables the panels to fold on themselves when you need to stash it in the back of your rig or carry it out and away from the shade of a tree you're camped under. Removable kickstands and a protective carrying case make it easy to transport and set up, and the weatherproof construction is designed to withstand the wear and tear Mother Nature can dish out.

3 out if 4 ain’t bad?
Purchased four of these. One doesn’t work. Am in the field so can’t get a replacement for a month. Because I don’t have an address or the original box with me. Relying on these for work.

MUST connect to their own devices, eg. yeti power
Cannot connect to other brands nor find adapters to do so. Very frustrating

Well Built, great Quality
After having the Boulder 200 Briefcase for about a week now, I have to honestly say that it is one tough solar panel. I have read some the reviews about the weight and the case that comes with it and I will mention that is a few. The product does great on feeding my LiFePO4 battery the power it needs and the controller is very easy to use. The weight, to some may be heavy but I prefer it as the outside elements throws curves once in a while and when this sits on the ground, it stays. you can move it with ease to keep it facing the sun. The case is just fine. protects it as it should. The wiring and connections are very well done, and I don't have to worry for bad connections. All in all, I feel this is a great product to have and I know It will hold up for years.

Boulder 200 Recommendations
My first recommendation is for the stand to lock in place. It's easy for them to fold in and fall and pinch your fingers. My second recommendation is that the solar panels fold inside to protect the panel. even though they are in a case the case will not protect them from a sharp puncher item.

When my 1000 watt yeti and 200 watt boulder briefcase showed up, my life completely changed! Generally sunny every day in southern Colorado, the unit charged to 100% easily in the time specified. Whilst changing the unit, I continually charged tool batteries an ran various power tools throughout the day. In the evenings I was able to charge phone, speaker and headphones, while I plugged in a 55 watt LED shop light and 45 watt boot dryer. I look forward to plugging in a variety of appliances and more power tools in the near future! Being winter and at 8600ft, I take some precautions when its gets below zero. Like every tool, the operator needs to take care and be responsible in adverse conditions, easily kept warm with a down jacket or sleeping bag at night or whilst charging during the day. Sure the unit and panels be a little heavy, or awkward to set up, sure beats not having electricity! Fellow permacampers recommended it to me and I no complaints yet! I can't imagine a solar unit could weigh less for the power it generates. Like every tool, it is a tool, the owner needs to figure out how to use it and ways to be more efficient with it!

I highly recommend some product redesign
Energy generation performance is great. BUT... Needs to be much lighter The panels need to be inverted with respect to the hinge - put fragile crystal inside when folded to provide much better protection when folded up (the legs, wires should be outside when folded). The canvas cover doesn't afford crack protection, thus my suggestion here - get those crystal panels tucked inside!

Nice sturdy design with a sleek look. Comes in handy if you need to charge your power station and you're on the go!

Powerful and Easy
Super powerful and easy to set up. I love how portable it is to chase the sun and how much power it captures.

Great addition to your power station.
Used it camping. Kept both my Goal Zero YETI 1500X and my RV battery charged (20 AMP CHARGE CONTROLLER).

Are the connectors from the output MC4?

Will the 200w panel work with my older Yeti 1000Li?

Can the Boulder 200 be securely mounted to the house and left outside all year round if you are using it only for blackout purposes? At my age, lifting the panels is very heavy. If the panels were mounted to the South side of my house, no moving panels.

I have a Thermoelectric cooler on my boat, connected on the service battery. It has Power consumption in Eco mode 7.50 W and Energy consumption (DC@5/25°C) 30.6 kWh/24h. will a 100 solar keep up with power consumption? i live in Greece/summer usage only.

Can I chain together more than one 200 Briefcase for my Yeti1500X? If so, how many? and how?

I am considering buying the boulder 200 to use as a portable charging system to start but would eventually consider mounting them to a van roof. Is this feasible?

Do I need a 20amp charge controller with a yeti 3000x and three Boulder 200 panels
May 27, 2021
Hello, Can I leave the Boulder 200 be connected to the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 always? I want to attach the solar panels to the roof and just leave them plugged in to the yeti 1000. Similar to a trickle charger.

This unit is rated at 200 watts, but I'm getting a maximum of about 125 watts in full noontime Arizona summer sun. Is my unit working improperly, or is the rating just extremely optimistic?
