ALLPOWERS Solar Charger 100W Solar Panel Foldable Portable with Dual 5v USB18v DC for Laptop, Tablet, Notebook, 12v Car, Boat, RV Battery, Camping, Hiking, Travel

This folding panel is excellent. I travel a lot in my motor home and whilst I do have solar panels fixed to the roof I find that this additional portable panel is excellent for charging up laptops, phones, cameras etc. The enclosed accessories are a bit flimsy and the DC cable is only about 1 metre long. So I use an extension cable attached to the DC cable, leave the panel outdoors in the sunshine, run the cable through a window and charge everything from inside. As the sun moves I move the panel! The numerous eyelets around the outside enable easy fixing to the side, front, rear of the vehicle and I'm good to go.I've tried other panels, like the "sandwich board" type but they are bulky for storage in a Camper van. This panel folds up to half the size of a shoe box and is very lightweight.The DC voltage output is 18 volts and I can charge my Asus laptop as quickly with this panel as if it was plugged into the mains.I bought a cheap watt meter to supplement the solar panel. On a good sunny day, I can easily get 2.5 amps from it.All in all, very happy indeed.Customer service is excellent too.

I use the solar charger to charge ALLPOWERS 288Wh/78000mAh Portable Solar Generator Power Inverter Power Station Camping Emergency Power Supply with DC/AC Inverter, Charged by Solar Panel/Wall Outlet for Camping, Emergency Backup, as shown in the photo, this is then used in my garage to supply power for charging tools, motorbike and for lighting, giving me free power in the garage. I have also used to charge my mobile phone as the charger includes two usb sockets. It folds neatly and comes with various leads and four karabiners which coupled with the mounting points on the solar charger enable me to position it and fasten it down. Looking forward to taking this on my next camping trip.

Great product, purchased to replace a similar less powerful model as we struggle in the UK sun. So far no issues with build quality, and it comes with useful accessories. Power generation in direct uninterrupted sunlight peaks around 75W, with the panel angled toward the sun in early April. Hopefully will get closer to 90W in the summer, I dont think it will ever achieve 100W in the UK.

We have a briefcase solar panel in our caravan which is brilliant but it is heavy at around 10KG This is a 1/4 of the weight and 20W more powerful. I had been concerned with previous reviews but i shouldn't have. It works as well as the other panel we have and has the bonus of it being really small to pack away. My tests on an overcast scottish day were 20 Volts coming out of the unit and the USB reading the Desired 5 volts. It charged my Ipad no problem. It has 2 USB, and a selection of adaptors for any situation. it is quite wide at 3ft but folds away to a about 1ft which is brilliant for backpacks. It also comes with 4 carabiners for hanging on things and there are a number of Loops in the panel that can be used as mount points. I’m off to get a solar controller now to ensure my battery in the caravan doesn’t get over topped up.UPDATE: been installed in my caravan over last 3 months and it hasn't kept the battery topped up as well as my other 80Watt one. I have had to supplement it with an extra Solar panel, Problem isnt the panel as such but the fact i cant get a full flat face to sun angle with the folding design as i could with a rigid panel, i will however say when its laid out on the ground it works fine

Bought this to provide off-grid power while camping along with the Allpowers Portable Solar Generator Power Inverter Power Station. The Solar Panels are very simple to use; just unfold the panels and plug in your appliances by USB. When you're done, just fold the panels back up again within seconds. Very compact once folded and easy to store away. They also come with clips that allow you to hang the panels against the side of a tent/caravan etc. I also use them to charge the Power Station mentioned previously which then allows you to store energy for later use like during the night. I also now use the solar panels at home on a daily basis to charge tablets/phones/laptops; making use of the free energy wherever I can.

Very impressed. The construction is of a high quality; the panels well fixed and laid out. Being foldable it provides for easy placement. Easy to transport when folded down which is useful when I am going back and forwards to the boat. I am using this with the accompanying power station (same brand) for my boat and it's very useful to have, especially when I am at anchor. On testing, it provides slightly greater amp output than the same wattage solid/fixed solar panels. Not sure, but probably wouldn't leave out in the rain though as over time, the canvas might become degraded. Would recommend this product. Arrived on time, well packaged.

I purchased this panel just under 2 years ago and at the time I was so pleased with it I chose to buy a number of other items from allpowers. Unfortunately it is now broken (as has another piece of kit from them)Their post sales customer and warranty service is utterly abysmal. They treat customers with at best distain and neglect. They don't like to engage and think that if they ignore you that you will go away.If you are looking for products with longevity and good customer service, then look elsewhere.

First time I use this while camping and the housing around the input/output falls apart. Really disappointed in the low quality for the price. Aside from that it charged the battery just fine. Otherwise it would get one star.
