ELECAENTA30W Solar Panel Charger with 3 USB Ports, PD 18W USB C Fast Charging, IPX5 Waterproof, Foldable Portable ETFE Solar Charger for iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, LG and Camping Backpacking

So... I looked around a lot before picking this up and this one was the only portable solar charger that I found that did not use PET panels. Rather, it uses the higher efficiency ETFE panels so I ordered it and crossed my fingers. I did not get this to charge tablets and laptops directly, rather, I use it to charge my 3800MAH battery bank and for that purpose, it works amazingly well. Once that battery is charged, I can use the battery to charge my devices so I can't speak to how fast it charges those directly. Now that being said, it is a solar charger so do NOT expect it to charge your devices in a couple of hours! My god if it was that effective, who would bother using Hydro electric in their homes!I plugged in my battery bank at 80% charge and within a little over an hour, it was at 100%, I would say that is dam impressive.The output has three USB outputs, one USB-A Standard, one USB-A High voltage and one USB-C. My battery bank uses USB-C type input to charge so I plugged the cable into the USB-A High voltage to the solar panel and the other end into the USB-C port on the charging input on the battery.I have every confidence in the world that this unit will last for years, it is well made and the panels are sturdy, they should not yellow with time and taken care of, will not crack and continue to perform. I don't know why some reviewers give this a bad review, maybe they are not reading the instructions or maybe they are trying to charge a device that has a huge battery and are expecting way too much from a solar charger but for me, it is the best I have seen and I have tried a few. Highly recommended

I bought this charger for emergency charging of our phones. We haven't had to use it in that capacity yet but we're ready. I'd been looking off and on for the right solar charger and I settled on this one because of its capacity for charging two phones at once and because of the review by another customer who had much to say about solar panels themselves (seemed to me an experienced solar panel user, more so than myself, for sure). The reviewer said that the solar panels of this charger were of superior quality (in their opinion) because these panels don't "yellow" or become brittle and break like others might do of a different composition. If I remember correctly, the other panels had a material called "PET" (these panels are "ETFE" material, whatever that is.). Anyway, that had a major influence in my decision on buying this charger and also, it's capacity to charge more than one device at a time. I have tested this charger out in full to partial sun and it worked really good as far as I could tell. My Samsung cell phone was down 11% so I put it on this charger and in less than 30 minutes it was charged to 100%. That may not seem like a big deal to many but to me it seemed very adequate and probably would be fine in an emergency. As long as the weather is sunny to mostly sunny, I believe this solar charger will perform very well (it did the other day when testing). Also, this is just a charger only. It does not store energy. That's what your phone does or a "Power Bank". This solar charger does not have any batteries built into it. When I bought this charger, I also bought two power banks to charge up with this charger so that I would have power in reserve for that emergency condition. This charger folds up neatly and it feels like it weighs a couple of pounds, so it might not be too burdensome on a hiking trip. The charging ports are inside a nicely zippered pouch (you can keep short cables in there and your clips) to protect from dust and moisture, and it comes with two carabiners for hanging. I encourage anyone interested in solar charging panels to go to this products website and read more about it. Also consider the existing reviews available on Amazon. They can be very helpful. I do have one complaint, the name of the product. I'm sure I'm not pronouncing it correctly and I asked my wife, and she wasn't sure of the correct pronunciation either, so, perhaps something a little simpler can be discussed at the next product review meeting, or whatever. In summary, it works well for us, and I do recommend this product.

Took this on a 1.5 week car camping trip. We were still working so we had our phones, an iPad, and my wife's Macbook. When the sun is out and shining directly on the panels it provided power to our devices as well as camp lights and power banks. When there was cloud cover the output dropped a bit so we couldn't use all output ports, but it still worked. Folds up to roughly the size of a notebook and unfolded it can lay on the car's dashboard. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I bought this for a camping trip a couple weeks ago. This thing works really well. Just lay it on the ground and plug into your phone. It charges fast, especially if you have strong mid-day sun. It is also very durable. We were camping at the beach and this thing constantly got sand on it. Just brush it off and keep charging. I would definitely buy again.

Used it twice recently camping and it works really well. It's actually quite a decent amount of solar panels. I was originally going for the battery solar panel but seeing as you don't want the battery over heating, and the solar panels are tiny, I decided to go with solar panels directly. Also, this doesn't have a battery so it should last a long time when I can replace batteries.One day was sunny but hidden in forestry, that was harder I had to keep adjusting here and there but it kept my 10 000mah battery charged for the whole weekend easily!The other day was super sunny out in the open sun, that charged up tons of my electronics without issues. It charged my power bank + other electronics within a few hours of full on sun.I keep some cables in the pack so it's always ready.
