Ecosonique 20W/24W Portable Solar Panel Charger, DC 19V, USB-A QC 3.0, USB-C PD18W with Detachable Power Hub, ETFE IP67 Waterproof Foldable Solar Charger for Mobile Phone Power Station Hiking

Okay just to get it out there, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to solar panels.I have been using solar panels for over 20 years.This was bought to pair up with a 512wh power station that I purchased.Functionality, on the back in the little bag that houses all of the different connectors you will find a couple of MC4 connectors that come directly from the panel they can be paired with the included USB A, USB C and 12 Volt adapter or the MC4 to Anderson and XT60 cable. If you have a cable fitted with MC4's that goes straight to a MPPT or PWM then they would work as well (just make sure your polarities are the same on your cables / connectors). Inside the bag you'll also find a number of 12v connector adapters.I should mention that this panel is quad fold, each of the four panels is mounted in a stiff / rigid plastic casing. Three of the panels have kickstand legs, held in place by velcro until extended. The legs themselves only open so far due to the webbing / elastic that stops them going too far.Battery life, well how long is a piece of string, it's all dependent on what you run on the power station and what you have.Charging speed, this time of year in the UK it'll take pretty much all day to recharge a 512wh battery pack.Value for money, for it's output, efficiency and mobility is good. They normally say look at £1 per watt. This is between 100W and 120W output. It cost £108 delivered.Weight, well it's not massively heavy, but it is quite large. If you had to walk in with it for any distance it would be more it's size than weight which would be a problem, paired with a power station as well and you'd probably prefer to be close to your vehicle.All in all I like it🙂

It is well built, and weather proof (although the USB unit will need to be kept dry). On a sunny day in the UK it can produce enough power to charge an iphone, however it is slow so I used it to charge a USB battery which then charged the iphone at night from the battery. If it is overcast (or not summer) your charging mileage will vary. More useful on a long camping trip otherwise a good USB battery is cheaper and will keep a phone running for a few days anyway.

I was impressed by how fast this solar panel charger charges devices. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities like hiking but still relies on electronics for navigation. It’s also great for picnics or general use while on the go. The foldable design makes it easy to pack in a backpack without taking up too much space. Highly recommended!

Since ive had this I've not been impressed says fast charge but stays on the number for ages then removing that cable it dropped a percentage so disappointed in times like this living in a temporary accommodation runs on electric i thought this would be a big help but so far it hasn't pleased me and waste off money as im using my normal charger that works as it should.

Ideal for short stay camping

What you see is what you get, looks good is good as i see so far not in use yet.The panel looks like fiberglass well made and easy to clean as you can detach it from all leads and clean it.Have tried it for output works well when sun is out.

Got this to go festivalling. Paired it with a bluetti 264wh battery generator and it takes approximately 5.5 hours to charge in perfect conditions, maximum charge rate is 50 watts.The fold out stands on the back are only glued in place and one has detached already. The hub supplied with it to which you can connect usb a and usb c as well as 12v DC is very flimsy and easily crushed or cracked.

Get about 20-25w going into my Anker power core 26000 on a good day in perfect angle and being able to charge a 12v input power bank is handy just like the long extension cable between panel and power hub.
