I have a 10w solar panel already, but it ONLY has a USB-A connection and is about twice the size and weight of this unit.So, this unit is about the size of a half-sheet of paper when closed, and definitely lighter than my older one, but I suspect my older one is a bit tougher, not that this one won't do the job.This unit has both a USB-C and USB-A port, both outputting the same watts and amps, so you aren't going to get better performance using USB-C. What it does do is allow you to only have to carry around a USB-C to USB-C cord for convenience, though one should have a USB-A cord handy for certain equipment.Seems to work as expected for a 10w panel, as I'm currently testing it.I've found best performance for charging with a solar panel is to charge a battery bank and not to the electronic device directly. Many phones require a specific Amperage and wattage that can't be guaranteed from smaller solar panels. In my testing, my phone would try and charge but stop, just repeating this process causing my phone to get excessively hot.I bought this unit for its cost and size factor. It should be much easier to carry around then my older unit because it's so much lighter, plus the cost isn't so much that if I manage to break it my wallet isn't screaming. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but the form factor definitely makes it nicer for day-to-day use. When testing my old one, I managed to completely charge a 10kmAh bank within a day. That was unattended so I don't know how much more I might have been able to charge. This is probably enough to keep all your electronics charged under normal use.

Be aware that 10 watts is really slow, it takes a couple minutes in full sun to put your phone up 1%. I got this to put in the car window to keep a small fan charged to blow in the back seat at my dog when driving, or to blow out a cracked window when parked. It’s much better than those solar window fans that only barely work in full sun. This charges a small fan battery even in partial shade. It’s good quality for the price, light, and folds up small. Overall, perfect for tiny charging jobs, and suitable for a long hike or short camping trip.

The media could not be loaded. Hands down this device will save you in a bind. You can charge your phone anywhere as long as there’s some sunlight. I don’t know if it works with artificial sunlight, but the moment that the panels hit the sun, the charging begins. I think the downside is that it doesn’t store any power And when you try to sit it up in a triangle, there is no attachment on the opposite side of the D rings to secure it. It doesn’t come with the lightning attachment so if you still have those version of the phone, you want to make sure you have that cord stored in the pouch otherwise it’s lightweight. It’s adorable. It can be carried anywhere. It works on contact. And I don’t know the full charging time because my phone has not been close to dead when I’ve used it, but it charges pretty fast.

Took the charger on a backpacking trip. Hung it on the back of my pack as recommended. Worked great. Kept mine and cocampers’ items charged. Unfortunately on the 5th day, it died. The red light on it stopped turning on to indicate it was charging when it was exposed to bright sun. It died while hanging on the pack. It did not get dropped or experience anything else of that nature. Would have been 5 stars.

I bought this solar panel to set up inside using led bulbs to power it. This solar panel is foldable. It has a cover on the outside with a power box and pocket. The box has a USB c and usb a port on it. It also has a red light to indicate whether or not it is getting solar power. This is a 10 watt 5 volt panel. It comes with a USB a to C cord.My only criticism is that the red light and the ports are facing the pocket. So if I have a battery in there I can't plug anything in and vise versa. If I have cords plugged in I can't use the pocket. The light and USB ports need to be facing any of the other 3 ways, just not the direction it's in now.

I used this solar panel while hiking in the Swedish mountains this summer. As any other solar panel (even much more expensive solar panels) it will not charge your phone fast. However, carrying the panel on my backpack throughout the day it charged my phone enough to maintain a constant charge throughout my 7 day hike. Definitely worth the price.

This is a nice solar panel with an easy interface for the USB compatible devices. I purchased this because the solar batteries in my hurricane kit charge very slowly. I was hoping that this added charging power would significantly reduce the charging time of the batteries. While it helped reduce the charging time, the impact was less than I had hoped. It's a good addition to the solar array for the price, but I need to consider a more powerful solution. The construction of the panel is good and the design allows the panel to be hung in a window with a phone in the back pocket. I didn't return the panel because it will be helpful in the even of a power outage.

I keep this in my car now after my charging cable was stolen. You never know when it might help you from going dead. I have also used it in camping trips or driving and putting it on the front dashboard. It’s not instant but you can gain several percent an hour. More for emergency. The packing is very nice and quality. Worked for my iPhone.
