After reading reviews I was not 100% sure if this solar panel will meet its specs but given ease of Amazon return policy I decided to give it a go and ordered it for my recent camping trip. I couldn't be more happy with my decision.
Solar panel feel well made. It folds in half for transport and strong velcro does very good job keeping it closed. There are two support legs also secured with velcro. Connector cable to charge power station and set of cables allowing to link two panels together was also included and it sits in dedicated zip pocket.
Setting up the panel was straightforward. Open velcro, open up solar panel, get two supports at the back stretched,point the thing towards the sun and connect it to your power station. That simple.
So far panel got used on my last trip to Snowdonia. Over last few days I used it to charge Anker Solix C300 DC and it performed really well. On a cloudy day I was getting anything between 20W and 40W output which was enough to top up power station a bit while charging 2 phones. Brighter days resulted in approx 60W output and when pointed directly to the sun I was getting 80-90W of charging power. My solix charged 14% within an hour and that's while charging 2 phones and maintaining portable fridge.
I will be using it a lot over the summer and will update this review if anything changes.
