FlexSolar 6W Mini USB Solar Panel, IP67 Waterproof Monocrystalline Module DIY Kit with PET Material for Smart Phone, Small Fans, Monitor, Outdoor Security Camera

Works great for cell phone recharge. I suggest you use a "fire wire" high speed charging wire with it. Takes about 4 hours of good sunlight to fully charge my phone. The back of this solar panel gets pretty hot when in full sun, so careful when handling. It will take a full day of good sunlight to charge a Power bank.

To put it into perspective it's about the size of a license plate it is very mobile and easy to carry lightweight but there's no case I would be afraid of somebody sticking it in a backpack it breaking. Very slow charge I plugged my phone into it to test it out I was at 53% and it said 6 hours until fully charged. But it does work great as an emergency backup or I plug my portable speaker into it for work and never have to charge my speaker I had it playing for two straight days almost and never beat at me that it was dying all in all goodbye for the money it is what it is picture looks very accurate

The panels look good. They're powerful enough for little things. The carabiners are really nice. The pack was missing the adapter cable which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise a good product.

I use this with a small usb ceiling fan in a camping canopy and it works well to power it without being too large or heavy.

This says it can power security cameras. In fact, it does just that. Problem is, once the sun goes down, all power is lost. Description doesn't say that. Lost all power to my security cameras when no more sunlight. Only gave one star because it won't go lower than that. Had to hard wire my security cams back to continuous power.

First off, I’ll say that this solar panel (the 6W version) works. It charges phones – in full sunlight – and I suppose it would charge a camera battery such as one used in a Wi-Fi camera while in full sunlight. The problem is that it will *discharge* (as in *draw power from*) a battery in cloudy or low-light conditions. This happens when the battery’s voltage is higher than the panel's output, and the panel doesn’t have a blocking diode (or if a charge controller is not installed in the circuit – a scenario that is not practical or relevant for a 6W panel marketed to supply supplemental charging).I tested this panel with 2 different USB multimeters and found that unless you have full sunlight, it puts out 5W of power VOC no problem, and when you hook it up to charge a device you still get ~5W DC, but you get none…as in 0…amps. That’s also probably expected. What is not expected or wanted is the drawdown of the device battery. In my tests, under this condition the phone battery loses power significantly faster than when it’s sitting idle and disconnected. The conclusion I’ve come to is that this panel has no blocking diode, or if it does it’s faulty. So be aware that while it serves what is arguably the most common use case, it may not work as you need it to on some others.

Impressive from packaging to product

Ive replaced all of the solar panels that come with my ReoLink cameras with these (I have about 6 of these panels deployed). They are so much more reliable and seem to charge faster and more consistently than the product I paid extra for with the cameras. The only disadvantage is that they are just panels, whereas the solar panels designed by/for the cameras have adjustable mounts. Conversely, these have holes in all four corners which give you more flexibility to screw them on a board, a tree or use zip ties on fences and pipes.
