The RS-series portable panels like Rich Solar Mega 100 Solar Panel - 12V - 100 Watts # RS77VR, Rich Solar Mega 200 Portable Solar Panel with Case - MC4 Connectors - 200 Watts # RS85FR, and Rich Solar Mega 250 Solar Panel - 12V - 250 Watts # RS35FR are weather-resistant IP67 rated. That means rain is fine, just avoid prolonged exposure or full submersion. Use the included kickstand bag as a cover (included with # RS85FR) when not in use or store indoors when not using it to keep it nice.
