I have now tested this 5W panel under conditions of full sun, light overcast and heavy overcast on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (3,000mah battery). The starting conditions in each test were <10% battery charge. With full sun, it can take 5 or more hours to fully charge. Under light overcast the charge time nearly doubles. Under heavy overcast, whatever is left in the battery is drained within an hour. I did not expect fast charging but draining the battery when connected to the panel came as an unpleasant surprise.
I think a 5w solar charger is probably not a good fit for a week long camping trip. I am buying a 10 W system for my trip. But, I am sending it back if it does not perform well.

This is one of the best mini solar chargers I have ever used! It is easily stored, carried, and used. If there were a drawback, I would say buyers need to know there is no battery bank with this charger. Hence, it will only work with light. This is a solar panel, and it work’s extremely well. I find it to be durable and useful.

Purchase with the Goal Zero battery (Flip 24) and while to solar panel is great the same can not be said about Goal Zeros battery’s that snap on.
If you plan to only use this without Goal Zero’s battery then this will work as advertised and I recommend. However, due to the Goal Zero battery not supporting pass though charging they made the pair up not ideal!

一度開封された状態で届きました。箱の接着剤が劣化しており、開封されて時間が経っていました(写真参照)。本商品は綺麗に入れ直ししたように感じましたが、埃や薄らとした汚れがありました。また、説明書も曲がっていました。
商品は問題なく使えましたが…
前回購入した人が返品し自分に回ってきたか展示品を販売したかはわかりませんが、気分が良くありません。星0を付けたいところ、それも出来ないので星1で。

I’m shocked that this solar panel works so well considering it’s only a 5 watt. I plugged my Clutch charger into the USB port and it charged it in less than 3 hours. This was sitting on my dashboard of the car. I’m looking forward to taking this out on some camping trips.

Much simpler to use than an older model I have. Appreciate being able to purchase different sizes of packs. Like the “kick stand”! Used this first at a music festival and since then have kept the packs charged by tucking the panel into my sunroof; this way I always have solar power ready to go with me on hikes and other adventures.

It takes a little while but it does what it’s supposed to, I’m happy

If you stick a flip power bank on the back it might be useful as an emergency power source as long as it is constantly exposed to the sky and you dont need to use it often. This should not be bought for direct charging and should not be sold without the power bank. I am going to try this out but if it doesn’t prove useful I would never recommend this. It is too small and weak to direct charge anything – It stopping charging when the light gets low is NOT A FEATURE – duh!. In the case of a phone, the phone constantly alerting you that it has started charging, stopped charging, then again, and again, and again – drains the battery faster than it can charge. Effing useless really, but I already spent the money and it fits onto the top of one my packs perfectly, is lightweight and ‘reasonably’ sturdy so as a constantly trickle charging device which is a last resort not often used resource, it may work out – but now I need to start from scratch to find what I was looking for. I, and possibly you too, will just have to accept that you need a bigger more powerful panel that costs more for it to be anything more than an overhyped ornament.

This item is perfect. I’ll be leaving for a trip with no electricity hook ups, but I read on my tablet. This item was my first choice. Goal Zero is a reliable brand, and this item works perfectly. I tested this yesterday, and it evens charges with a little overcast. Granted, it’s gonna be slow. This is a small solar panel. Testing on my S22 Ultra at 95% on a sunny day with an overcast, the device estimated around 40 minutes to charge the last 5%. This is a $60 dollar item, so the price is worth what it can do.

Does NOT charge an iPhone. Get yourself a Guide/Nomad 10 instead. You need a 10-20W solar rig for charging most phones.

Ich habe das Solarpanel zu verschiedenen Jahreszeiten und bei unterschiedlicher Witterung getestet. Selbst im Februar bei leicht bewölktem Himmel wurde der GoalZero Akku (10 Wh) geladen.
Auch ein paar AA-Akkus habe ich mit einem USB-Ladegerät über das Panel aufgeladen.
Es steht stabil auf dem ausklappbaren Metallbügel, ist robust und hochwertig verarbeitet und leicht genug, um auch auf Wanderungen etc. nicht zu stören.

Took this charger hunting. I’ll be leaving my battery bank at home from now on. This solar charger is efficient and charges fast. Met all my needs as long as the sun is shining. Highly recommend.
