Needs bright sunlight to be effective. The battery seems to discharge on its own over a few days. I like the directional sundial and the stand.

So far I have not had a lot of luck. It does not always charge when it should. Also seems to have an issue when in sun for a while. Get all 4 LED's blinking like its faulted. Still trying to figure it out. I will give it a wall charge and one more chance.

This solar panel is perfect for my needs. I have worked to create a go-trunk in my car which will allow me to set up a camp with a tent, sleeping bags, seating and enough food for 4-5 weeks. However, during the emergency I also have a go-backpack in the trunk to get me by until the more formal camp can be set up. This panel meets my need for a power source for my phone or tablet and easily fits into that backpack.

We bought one of these 7 or 8 years ago... whenever it was first released. We don't use it that often but in between charges our unit has held 4 out of 5 lights on the meter for over a year sitting in a book case. Unbelievable. Charging a device while simultaneously charging the panel is genius.

Wedding gift that the environmentally conscious recipients loved.

This is a compact but powerful solar charger. The aiming device is simple and intuitive and the amount of power that it can generate even under less-than-full-sun conditions is impressive. This is part of my home preparedness kit and will go camping with me.
