*Awesome solar panels accessory for the electric **Generater.Systems** lightweight easy to carry and set up love it love the set up thank you very satisfied*
Looks like a great portable solar panel. I have a Ravpower 24W folding solar panel that works well. Yours looks to be more flexible and has the added benefit of having the charge indicator built in. That being said, I think that I paid about half as much as the one you show here costs. Although, yours may be lighter and/or more efficient, I don't know much about solar panels either lol. Thanks for sharing.
Just bough it and have to say it is not good combination with XTORM 20 000 mAh powerbank which is too long and doesn't fit into pocket on the back of the charger so combine it with shorter 10 000mAh powerbank from XTROM which is shorter and will fit better into pocket with cabel pluged into solar charger. Dimensions of pocket on the back of solar charger fits better to thinner powerbanks around 15 mm and length max to 160 mm with cabel plugged in. Also the port protective rubber cover opens the way it will soon be torn if frequently used and it somehow doesn't fit well in pocket when you charging powerbank but for shorter 10k mAh battery from XTORM should be fine cause it is only 114 mm in length. Thanks for your review of product. It was very helpfull to me. I am planning to test solar charging in winter condition so I am interested what will be the results on winter sun which is on low trajectory during the day.
Awesome input brother, thank you so much! I’m hoping to try it now again in winter conditions, I do have the bigger battery because I have more things that need charging due to filming, I’ll bring it a long and try it out and get back to you!
@bjornmagnusson5133 yes, honestly I found it hard to charge it up, you have to be pretty still and pointed directly at the sun, I was hoping that it would work better
Always thought about getting a solar panel, at least for emergencies. Great heads up on the power pack compatibility. I didn’t really think of that. What's cooking on the grill? Peace
Hej Ted! Thanks again for a good video. I was wondering if 20-30 kg would be too much for the keb 52 Backpack? What are your thoughts and experiences? best regards Jacob.
Good video. When measuring power, do you find that when it is charging and you cover the panel with your hand for a few seconds and then take it off, it does not go back to the charging power it was before you covered it?
i buyed one in bogota colombia for about 80 bucks. does yours also get very hot. here im in the amazon rainforest and it gets very hot. the solar panel heats up allot. when i put my hand on it after some seconds i need to tale it off cause of the burning
Hi, thanks for the review, short question, do you use it to charge only phones? Or does it deliver enough energy to charge, in a day, a battery pack to charge an average laptop for example?
Hey, It will be hard for it to charge a laptop directly but it can charge a battery pack, that’s mostly how I use it. Charging the battery pack and then using the battery pack during the night for charging phones and camera batteries :)
Most solar panels will charge almost all power banks( except the cheap panels from China). It’s probably more important to know if your panel will have the “Restore” circuitry to keep powering every time you pass through a cloudy area.
Hey :) I have a question! Backpacking soon and I ran into this solar panel after searching google. Anyhow, how long does it take to recharge your phone full in direct sunlight (and which phone)? :) Thanks!
It’s hard to say exact since everything changes, what I recommend is that you use the solar panel to charge a battery pack during the day and then if it’s a day without sun or in the evening you charge your phone from the battery pack, that usually takes around an hour or so. Solar panel straight to the phone I think is a bad idea since it won’t be a steady connection when you move about, it might affect the battery in a negative way. Hope that helps! :)
@leugim-h2u wrong connection I guess, there’s different standards for these things. Hard to know to be honest. Best is to buy the battery pack from the same brand as the panel
I have an XTorm power bank (10,000amp), it's pretty decent, robust; I've been thinking about getting a solar panel charger, this looks like a good option.
Can I ask what your normal amps were on an ideal day or maximum amps you managed to reach? Reason I ask is I bought one of these but doesn't seem to be able to go above 2.0. Thanks.
Ok, thanks! Great. Thats better than mine. It weighs 660 g (sunnybag booster 21 W) and is similar cell-area. The pro with it, is that it charges all devices, even has auto start for Apple devices. Thanks for great channel and great vids! Keep it up! 👏👏👏
Already BAD dfor me, not compatible wxcept if is them products?! So, 5 years from here and imagine the brand gonne and u are in a diferent world where you need solar to survive and no batteries compatible for use that amazing solar charge!
Totally valid feedback brother! the battery pack I had didn't work with the Solarbooster, the first idea was of course to make a real test. I have another battery pack now so I might be able to try it again in coming videos!
Brother, thank you! I can see Mikes frustration, but to me, he still took the time to let me know what he actually thinks, that’s a chance for me to learn and know where I can improve! Just like your comment is a receipt that my responses are going in the right direction! Guess it’s down to perspective! Wish you a great year brother!
Would be great of you could do another with numbers. Also how it preforms in winter and cold weather would be cool. This was the only review I could find of this panel, thank you!

Hi! @TedWeirum
Did you had the chance to try it with the bigger powerbank from Xtorm (20 000)?
@bjornmagnusson5133 yes, honestly I found it hard to charge it up, you have to be pretty still and pointed directly at the sun, I was hoping that it would work better

sure thing! great add to the emergency kit! mostly meat as I'm sure you could imagine, the fish we caught was to small! :)
Hej Ted! Thanks again for a good video. I was wondering if 20-30 kg would be too much for the keb 52 Backpack? What are your thoughts and experiences?
best regards Jacob.
Hey Jacob! I think you would be fine, I had the 72 when I carried 30kg!
Utmärkt 👍🏻
man gör ju vad man kan! :P
Good video. When measuring power, do you find that when it is charging and you cover the panel with your hand for a few seconds and then take it off, it does not go back to the charging power it was before you covered it?
never had an issue with that my friend! :)
perhaps i need to get this one because the two mini solar cell phone chargers are junk. they take more than 30 hours to be fully charged !
Sounds like it, that’s a long time!
i buyed one in bogota colombia for about 80 bucks.
does yours also get very hot. here im in the amazon rainforest and it gets very hot. the solar panel heats up allot. when i put my hand on it after some seconds i need to tale it off cause of the burning
I haven’t had that problem, sounds like you should get that looked at!

@@TedWeirum Thanks for your quick answer. Have you also made a video about battery packs? Sorry I am new to the Channel. Thanks.
Anytime brother!
I haven’t yet, now i use the battery pack from x storm as well! I’ll maybe be able to do one in the future

What am I looking for to see if this solar panel can charge my power bank?
Ok, how do you want me to know that?
@@TedWeirum well why wasn’t it charging yours?
@leugim-h2u wrong connection I guess, there’s different standards for these things. Hard to know to be honest. Best is to buy the battery pack from the same brand as the panel
Which iPhone do you have?
Asking cause I have a new iPhone and couldn’t get it charged in a friends solar panel
That could depend on a number of things!
Interesting! I've been wondering how effective these really are :)
They do the trick on longer hikes! :) I see your channel growing, keep it up!
What shorts are those, legend?
those are the ones my dear friend could find in his house, probably used and abused for years before I borrowed them! :)
@@TedWeirum on my way
did you know if you can charge you garmin GPS from the solar panel?
I’m sure you could, can’t see why not! Otherwise charge a battery and then charge the Garmin with the battey
I have an XTorm power bank (10,000amp), it's pretty decent, robust; I've been thinking about getting a solar panel charger, this looks like a good option.
awesome, my experience with the power bank I borrowed was also good! :)
Can I ask what your normal amps were on an ideal day or maximum amps you managed to reach? Reason I ask is I bought one of these but doesn't seem to be able to go above 2.0. Thanks.
hey! I'd say the same for me between 1,3 - 1,8
@@TedWeirum thanks Ted, appreciate it 👍
You say it is light weight. How much is that? Did you weigh it?
you can see the weight in the video, I believe it was around 422 G or something! :)
Ok, thanks! Great. Thats better than mine. It weighs 660 g (sunnybag booster 21 W) and is similar cell-area. The pro with it, is that it charges all devices, even has auto start for Apple devices. Thanks for great channel and great vids! Keep it up! 👏👏👏
Don’t know if this one have the auto start for Apple devices, would be cool! Have to try that this year! Thanks for watching brother!
Nice🥰
Thanks 🤗
Veldig bra. Super
Tack! :)

Already BAD dfor me, not compatible wxcept if is them products?! So, 5 years from here and imagine the brand gonne and u are in a diferent world where you need solar to survive and no batteries compatible for use that amazing solar charge!
You do a review without using actual numbers? Or even plugging in the device? Or even dong a time lapse? Come on

Would be great of you could do another with numbers. Also how it preforms in winter and cold weather would be cool. This was the only review I could find of this panel, thank you!
@hyper_focused great tips brother, it’s definitely time to do another review on this thing, bringing up numbers. I’ll do it as soon as possible
