Foldable & Lightweight
The weight is only 850g, and the folded size is similar to the size of a magazine, which is very easy to carry.
I like the folded and unfolded size, it would easily fit in a small daysack. It has enough usb ports for its modest output, no USB c sadly and no sort of storage bag or strap to keep it folded but this is easily overcome.
It has a quality feel and the individual panels are nice and rigid to reassure that you won’t snap or break them easily.
Output…… it claims 30 Watts but as with all panels it won’t ever make that. I pluged it into my power station on a sunny spell and the best I got then was 11 Watts, on a sunny summer day I’m sure it will be more with a decent high capacity usb lead used.
I’m glad I got this and like the brand too as my other power station is swarey and its tough and really good.
Great panel charges quick, i hang these in my window and charge my battery packs then charge phones and run led lights fron them, work great with two ports they also absorb a lot of heat.
just what i was looking for except its stopped working.. contacted Amazon / merchant now waiting for a reply.
UPDATE : 4 days after reporting the faulty panel. I had an initial response within 36 hours asking for a little more detail of the fault. I supplied this and within a further 24 hours i received a reply that a replacement panel would be issued. The panel arrived last night ! Tested it this morning and appears to be working fine. Superb Customer service 4 days from reporting the fault to actually having a replacement is impressive. Good communication throughout. i would definitely recommend this seller. I just hope the replacement will last longer than 6 months
Love this thing would give it all around 5 stars but haven’t had it long enough but when I have used it It fast charged my samsung s10 plus would of fully charged In its fast charge tome of an hour and a half spectacular price of kit shocked me thought I would need a higher watt output for plug and play it is perfect and when I was charging it was slightly cloudy too bit expensive but it works fab
I could not be more impressed with this solar charger. I have taken it on 2 camping trips since buying it and used it in different ways on each one. The first time I used it to charge a 10000mha power bank we’d been using to charge our phones – it charged from almost empty to full throughout the duration of the day with the panel just outside the tent. The second time I used it to charge my iPad, and it went from 35% to 70% in about 2 hours. Not bad for free electricity.
It has a light on the back to show when it is getting enough power to charge, and although I’ve only used it in direct sunlight the light does come on (and therefore does charge) in cloudier conditions, although I guess this would affect the speed of your charge.
It also has 2 USB sockets allowing for 2 devices charging at once, however this does split the charge equally over each USB socket so charging time is essentially doubled if charging two devices.
Overall it’s a great buy and would definitely recommend.
Supports charging a power bank via the ‘slow’ USB port and a Samsung usb c tablet via the USB QC port at the same time. Needs full sun, obviously – absolutely useless indoors with natural light/roof lights etc. would work well tied to a tent perhaps or anywhere outdoor in full sun. Not sure about a backpack because most devices shut down their charging if the power is inconsistent – if the panel isn’t producing constant power.
Nice little panel. It developed a fault but the seller was quick to respond to my concerns and swiftly sent a replacement! The replacement was thinner and lighter than the one it replaced so I’m pretty chuffed!
Two thumbs up!
So, far I am very impressed with it. We are using to power a USB radio and USB fan when I am in the garden working on my laptop. It has a nice durable coating and the fabric cover is nicely made as well. We are getting decent output from it. I haven’t measured it directly… but it is powering what it is that I need it to power and the price for it is just right. I recommend it.
This is a really good portable solar panel that can charge two devices at one. As a family of four we often go for adventure days and weekends away. We all have phones and tablets and this portable solar panel means we can charge devices as we go.
It comes with some clips which can attach to the solar panel and clip onto your backpack meaning you can hang this on you and charge your device while your walking around.
The panel itself is very good quality and is well made. The charging power seems to be great when in strong clear sunlight and will easily charge your modern devices like my iPhone 13 pro max.
Overall I am very happy with this 30W portable solar panel and have decided to rate it 5 stars because it simply works as it should and is worth the money.
It’s okay, but a bit expensive for what you actually get. Plus the instructions are a bit naff, as they don’t tell you which of the two USB ports is the QC port.

Great little Solar panel for charger smaller devices (phones/powerbanks etc)
