In the hiking/backpacking community we are always chasing a lighter and smaller pack size, and that udually means packing less luxury items and only the essentials. Most would recommend bringing only a charger, cable, and battery pack to charge your phone or any other electronic devices while out in the back country, and it’s not a bad one. Most solar panels or other charging devices are clunky, way too heavy, and not efficient enough to be worth taking.Now, this solar panel, is everything that a backpacker like myself could drama of. It is razor thin, feather light, and super efficient at charging the battery pack that it comes with, which is the only one I use now. Seriously, out of all my gear, it’s what I get asked about the most now, considering how much it stands out. Since it is thin, it conforms to the shape of my bag, and I will say it seems to have gotten a little crease in it, so beware of it breaking, but with that said it still functions great. Now I can be out for multiple days and just charge my battery pack as it’s strapped on my bag and just hike as it collects the natural energy from the sun and keep my phone and other electronic devices charged. Highly recommend this.

I wanted to like this product. It looks well made, rugged, and flexible. It has great options for attaching to a backpack. It only weighs 10oz, which is not bad for a 7.5W panel. Sadly, it is not a 7.5W panel. It is a 5W panel. I tested it into various types of USB battery and into a variable resistive load, under clear California sky with the panel aimed directly at the sun. 5W is the most you will get. If this was a $15 cheapo panel from China I might overlook that, but it’s a $99 panel from Austria, so I hold it to a higher standard. There is a “Certificate” in the box saying it was tested at the factory and delivered 7.65W. The sun must be brighter in Austria. Also there is a design defect with the exit hole for the cable. The hole is the right size, but they forgot to allow for the gap beneath it caused by the glue. So the outer cable jacket just flops around and pulls on the inner wires. Looks like it would last about 5 minutes on my backpack. Very disappointing, since the panel is otherwise very well made, probably the best of any I have tested. I hope they can address this issue in future revisions.So the power is not as advertised, and there is a huge problem with the cable exit design, so I returned it to Amazon. I might buy the Mark 2 version if they can fix these problems. As it is now, I do not recommend. There are other panels on Amazon for $20 that deliver the same power.

I have read all other reviews, i am probably the first review that paid for the product…..I just received the item, and testing the panel out, i am not sure if the sun is unstable or if the sun isnt strong enough or if the panel i received is defective, but the panel is rebooting itself exactly every 10seconds. The Lux meter is showing 11965 lux, and it is only outputting 0.05amps at 4.02v and contining to reboot itself every 10seconds, i plugged it into a power bank and i am seeing itself rebooting every 10seconds, then i plugged it into my s10e it reboots itself every few seconds too and the charge time is 6hours 24mins(currently at 20% charge).I will continue to test the item and update further when i have more info.Update:I have tested the item further as the sun gets more intense. Everything is working great now and charging. 1 thing users should watch out for is, if the Amperage is lower than 0.1? or at where i was at which was 0.06amp, then the panel “probably” believes its an overcast of clouds and reboot itself(feature for IOS). So after the amp has increased passed 0.1amp, then the rebooting stopped.This wasnt written anywhere in the description, but this will probably happen to a lot of people.Other info, lux is not linear to energy output, as the light picks up, energy output increase more than ratio of 1.All in all, the product is well designed, light weight.Rebooting will occur when cloud overcast the panel causing amperage to drop, also the trigger for reboot is probably when amperage is lower than 0.1amp. (Maybe better documentation for that will help other users.)

Conditions:- Ukraine (central region).- Local time 11:00-12:00 (Jul 18 2022)- Bright sun. Was some clouds, but most of sky was clear. Tested only in clear and bright periods (peak of sun light)Results:- 20Ah Redmi (Power bank) – 5.03V x 1.27A (6.3881W) — Best result- iPad mini – 4.88V x 0.87A (4.24W)- iPhone SE – 4.34V x 0.49A (2.1266W)- 10Ah Asus (Power bank) – 5.11V * 0.36A (1.8396W)In several testing found what result was depends on devices, so with panel all looks ok.Additional info:- 180g weight more than in description (weight 680g but according description should be 1.1 pounds (498.952g)).- Led changed color only with connected devices- Led not looks so informative as could be, because by usual usage will not be seen behind solar panel. It could be “pros” in war time, as it better masking of solar panel. But for non-military usage will be better to have some integrated LED to some edge (with possibility to disable feature with some switch)- That kind of foldable design eats more space in backpack as other possible variants which I saw, also need be careful with transportation (foldable edges looks not so strong on pressure)

I’ve been geeking out on solar panel weights for the past few weeks. Finally settled on this one. I had a good watt to weight ratio. Unfortunately, it is a little heavier than advertised. They claim “1.3 pounds”, which is roughly 20.8oz. My scale reads 23.8 ounces of actual weight. Which is about 1.5 pounds (over 14% heavier).I’m not sure how many of the other solar manufacturers trim their claimed weights. Just be aware that this one’s a bit heavier.
