I used this for 9 days in May in a range of clear sky, cloudy, and overcast days charging a Yetti 150 and powering a Dometic CRF75. Chained with a Nomad 28, I had more than enough power! High quality, stows nicely, well protected when folded. It was rained on 5 of 9 days without a problem. It got very dusty but cleaned up nicely at home. I really like GZ products – they are more expensive but are great quality.

I spent a couple of months in Africa while those around me struggled with inconsistent power supplies, I continued to work using the Nomad 50 coupled with the Sherpa 100 AC. when the power would go down my phone, computer and internet puck kept on going and I didn’t have damaged equipment due to due to power surges.

Works great like my larger GZ solar panels, but super light for my bike and hiking!

The panel arrived promptly and the shipping packaging well protected it. Upon arrival, I connected the panel to my Sherpa 100AC. The solar panel worked fenomenal, it was a full sunny day, and I was able to obtain 52 watts (for a panel that was rated up to 50 watts). During overcast days I was able to get up to 42 watts from the panel, which imo it is still very good. The panel is more expensive than similar solar panels, but the quality and workmanship is second to none!

Practical way to capture energy for your devices. I use it it carry a Sherpa 100AC. It is useful to have it during an emergency. I would like to have smaller but same powerful version of this solar panel to carry in your backpack.

I haven’t used this but wanted the capability to “keep running”. I spent some time researching the price, charge times, size and weight and felt this was a good fit for my thinking

Perfect size for the weekend warrior. I bought this with my Yeti 500X and both are small enough I can take camping, to work, or wherever I need power.
The Nomad is not bulky or too heavy which is good as you don’t want it blowing away. I like that it is powerful enough to get a good charge on the Yeti and other UBS accessory and compacts to stick behind my truck seat. The other great feature is that it will chain with my Nomad 27and has the quality you’d expect from a Goal Zero product

Used to charge a Yeti 200x and a Yeti 500x on a recent trip- this is the largest foldable panel GZ has with a USB out if you want to charge a smaller power bank or something else- I plan on getting another to chain together to get 100W while still having USB capability.

I have the Sherpa 100AC and the Sherpa 100PD and use my Nomad 20 to recharge them. I love that the Sherpa 100AC has passthrough charging, so I can daisy chain them and charge them both at once.
My only complaint would be that the 8mm charging cable that can be stored on the back of the solar panel is getting twisted inside the sheathing. I believe this is due to the heat of leaving it charging for multiple hours in the sun, then wrapping it back up. I wonder how long the cable will last and it doesn’t appear to be swappable if it kinks/breaks at some point in the future.
For now, everything is working as expected.

If you’re comparing this to other products, like a Boulder 100, please realize that what you are paying (a lot) for is the portability. Otherwise, it appears to be a little less efficient than a boulder. I did a side-by-side (same angle, etc.) test using a Yeti 400… best I could do with the Nomad was about 27 Watt/hrs (54% of 50), whereas the Boulder was putting out 58 Watt/hrs (58% of 100). I know from experience that in ideal conditions I can get up to about 63 (63%) from the Boulder, but so far the best I can do with the Nomad is 29 (58%). So, great for portability, but a little less efficient than a Boulder.
