This folding panel works fine. It has no difficulty charging a mid sized battery bank or phone, would make a good tool for a semi-remote camp or storm weathering and having minimal lighting, a radio on hand, charging a phone or keeping a battery bank going, etc.
The open circuit voltage cannot be lower than the maximum power voltage, so they’ve either swapped those numbers or they’re both wrong. But that shouldn’t matter for folks using it with an mppt charge controller or using its USB buck converter.

This bis a great little solar panel setup. Very portable with a good case to protect the panels. Easy to set up or hang anywhere and it works. I was able to charge a high power headlamp in about an hour. It has many options for charging multiple devices and a power bank if you have one. I don’t have a power bank but I’m planning to get one now that I have panels that work well. This is great for camping or just to have for a power outage or a day in the outdoors. I like the hooks that come with and allow you to hang it or simply secure it where you need it. It folds up compact and is so easy to pack. We are getting ready for a six day camping trip where there is no power of any kind and this will be super helpful for charging comp lights, shower, cell phones, and other small devices we need. I had ordered a panel last years and it was a pain and took forever to charge anything so I sent it back. This setup is so much better and much less than the one I tried before. Overall this a great charging solar panel and a great price.

This is smaller and much better made than I was hoping for. It’s about the size of an iPad. I got this for 2 reasons; 1) I have other portable solar panels but they are at 100watt and most portable generators under 300 watt hours only can take 60 watts charging ( there are some exceptions so look ) and 2) you can charge via USB and USB-C directly from the panel. No need to really have a power pack if you just need to charge up your phone or smaller items.
This folds down into almost nothing and has a nice handle, side pocket, a USB-c cord, two hooks, a dc5 cord with adapters to fit most units. Out of the box it’s ready to go. I plugged it into 3 different solar generators without issue. It’s generally rain proof and is great to just toss in your pack, your car or to use at the beach.
Now, that all being said, I could only get 30 watts max out of it. Using the 80% rule, 40 stated watts is going to get you about 32 watts in the real world, and this came pretty close, so it is effective. Charging phones and simiar items is going to be perfect, charging up a solar generator is going to take a long time. A 250 WH system would take over 8 hours. So, keep that in mind.
For at the pool, the beach, short trips into the outdoors, this thing rocks. I just want to charge up my phone and this little kit does it just fine. The straps are good, the clips are good, the material is good. This was a really nice surprise and a great addition to my solar charging options and certainly one of the best for it’s size.

This is a very nifty solar panel that’s easy to take with you when traveling. When folded up, it’s very easy to carry around with its built-in handle, almost like a small laptop bag. It’s the smallest panel I’ve seen yet – about the size of an 8/12″ x 11″ sheet of paper – that can output up to 40 watts when unfolded, and I can imaging bringing it on trips with very little effort. When folded, it’s held together with two straps that snap together with plastic clips, and it feels secure and nicely stowed.
I’ve not measured the actual wattage it puts out to confirm the manufacturer’s 40 watt max specification , but I can confirm that it charged up my iPhone quickly enough. Getting it to work couldn’t be simpler: you unzip the case, unfold all four panels and expose them to direct sunlight. You need to unzip the attached pouch to get access to the connection port box, which has a blue LED on it that lights up when voltage is available. Once you connect your phone or tablet to the USB A or USB C port, you’re good to go.
It’s not been cloudy where I live for many days, so I’ve not been able to test the panel in that kind of weather, but even if power is reduced by 50% it should still be enough to charge most portable devices without any problem.
A couple of cables are included: a USB C to C cable and a “5521” DC cable (a black cable with coaxial connectors) with a variety of adapters that can be used on it to recharge devices such as a power station or power tool. The rather skimpy two-page instruction “manual” indicates that you should confirm that any device you connect to the panel is compatible with its output levels, which I’m not sure most people would know how to verify. I assume the panel’s conversion box adjusts the output voltage and amperage depending on what’s connected, but this isn’t specified in the manual. The USB A and C ports, however, should be compliant with standard USB specifications, although there is no mention of power delivery (PD) compliance in the manual despite the 40 watt max output level. As I noted above, it successfully charged my iPhone 12, so I expect most USB-chargeable devices should work fine. Note that an iPhone lightning cable is not included, so you’ll need to provide one.
The charging ports are somewhat awkwardly placed in an attached pouch behind one of the end panels, so if you have all four panels lying flat on a surface, the small, attached box containing the ports is hidden under one of them. It’s not a big deal, and I suppose this protects the connection box from direct sunlight. Still, the box is mounted in an attached zipper-pouch that also contains the included cables and adapters, so if you’re not careful all of these parts can fall out when you open it. It would be nice if there was an internal storage pouch or mounting straps for the cables and adapters to prevent this.
The panel is water resistant, but the conversion/connector box is not, so this unit should not be left out in the rain. The panel can be hung from any two of four metal rings in each of the four corners using the two carabiner clips included for this purpose, so you can hang the panel on a horizontal rope (for example) to get better sun exposure.
All in all, I really like this solar charger. Its small size makes it much easier to travel with than others I’ve seen (and two others I own). It’s relatively lightweight, so packing it in a bag should be easy. Its power output is high for such a small panel, so with proper sunlight exposure, it should charge up most devices as quickly as most any plugged-in wall charger.
