BLAVOR 30W Solar Charger USB-A QC3.0 24W USB-C DC 30W Outputs, Foldable Solar Panel for Camping, IPX4 Waterproof, Solar Battery Charger Compatible with Solar Generators, Phones, Tablets

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.

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.

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.

Brought it on four multiple day backpacking trips and have always been disappointed. Once in a while it actually does charge but most on the is doesn’t. It is very unreliable and that is not what I need when hiking in the mountains. I’m taking it on one final trip and that is to the garbage can.

So, I saw this gadget on TikTok—because that's where all good financial decisions start, right? I'm always at softball tournaments, which pretty much last longer than a season of "Game of Thrones." We also do a lot of hiking, paddle boarding, and camping, so I figured, why not? This thing hooks up to my backpack and works... well, it works as designed, which is all you can really ask for.Now, it’s not the fastest thing on the planet, but then again, it's not like I'm in a rush when I'm out in the wild trying to become one with nature. Plus, the sun is like 90,000 million miles away—I checked, that's a real number—so I guess it's doing its best, considering the commute.

WORKS AS ADVERTIZED GREAT FOR BACKUP POWER

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.

Great product! Can charge a Samsung Galaxy new models. Can charge a power bank at least 10,000mah power banks. The design is compact and sturdy. This is easy to use, just put it into direct sun and can immediately begin to charge in a power outage or in a survival situation, or put in a big out bag.
