60watt Portable Solar Panels, Ip65 Waterproof Foldable Solar Panel Dual USB Ports QC3.0 DC 60W, Solar Charger for Small Power Station Camping Hiking Outdoor Activities

The media could not be loaded. *This is another exploration of a "Bare Bones" approach all due to the rapid increase of purchased energy rates in my area.Which my sad little Social Security pension cannot possibly keep up with anymore.*I don't live way out in the boonies somewhere. I live right smack center in one of the largest mostly sunny urban centers in the country. This urban center is also one of the most expensive to live as well. I have been experimenting with portable power bank or station, and solar panels to see eventually if I can separate the 2, maybe 3 if possible, most-expensive-to-run "energy vampire" appliances a household can operate fully off the grid as much as possible without breaking the bank.*I chose this particular brand because my new Power Bank's Manual booklet stated it's ideal charging voltage parameter requirements for a well matched solar panel for the power bank I already purchased BEFORE this particular solar charger's own selection & actual purchase. This has prevented any unintentional permanent damage of the Power Station's unit. Or unecssary returns due to an very preventable mistake or bad guessing/poor assumptions on my part.*The Liarba-purchased separately-portable foldable solar panels matched perfectly the 18V, etc. charging mode requirements clearly labeled as recommended by the Power Bank's manufacturer fully discussed & chart illustrated in the included User Manual. (It always a good idea to read & keep on hand for future reference the manual booklet BEFORE use & when possibly ordering additional equipment separately.)*It is very easy to unfold & refold all of the individual panels all by myself with no other physical help needed.*Got full sun that way & topped the unit off. The cord was a bit short, so I boosted the unit upwards using an old, yet stable, typing table. I will buy a much longer proper recommended cord for it next month as I now know exactly what's needed for the unit & my unique situation with confidence.CONCLUSION*These Liarba Solar Panels are very easy to plug everything in the right places during set up.I look forward to many years of using these Liarba Solar Panels. They are very durable, great clear how-to instructions included, plus sized just right for even an Techno-Klutz disabled old lady to handle all by herself.

First, I didn't get this for traditional use. I got it to see if I could catch a charge through my windshield while parked directly under a parking lot pole light overnight. (Yes, I have weird and strange hobbies.)I laid this out across my dashboard, but it was too long. I folded back one panel to make it fit and was still able to gather enough charge for my power bank under daytime sunlight.And it DOES gather a little charge from the overnight lighting, too. It's not like I'm going to come back from working my night shift to find everything charged to capacity, but I'm not going to come back and find all of my batteries flat, either.I'm happy with it, but I wished I had ordered something that actually fits in the space so I could get a clearer picture of how well/badly this works. That, of course, is not the fault of the seller/manufacturer. They clearly stated the length and width of the panel. I eyeballed it instead of measuring.

Works as advertised. Takes a clear sky and good alignment to achieve 100% but is expected. Compact and efficient!

brought this on a weeklong camping trip, full on roughing it. no electricity, not air con, no heat, no terlit. this thing was perfect. the few things that we brought that needed to have charge, we were able to get from this no problem.its a bit heavy and cumbersome for hiking out to the campsite.it is not light by any means. but it is made durably. I didn't really feel I had to worry about it breaking or anything like that, and it didn't.give it a go, might be exactly what you need for your stuff.

As long as it is in direct sunlight, it charges really well.

This thing is great. It won't take very long you charge at all, given if it is a nice bright sunny day. I've taken this up to the roof do some work and have taken it out on camping and road trips. There are a sufficient amount of USB ports and provides power just as a power pack would. These are definitely not cheap to buy, but is well worth it for the kinds of uses you can have this for. I definitely will be looking more into getting a couple more to have enough on hand, should I need it.

The problem with a lot of solar chargers is that they are so small that it takes all day to charge your device. This Liarba solar charger unfolds to almost six feet long and it puts out plenty of power. I tested it with my Galaxy S22+. This solar panel charged it up from 52% to 70% in 90 minutes. For the last 30 minutes, I was dealing with partly cloudy skies. It doesn’t store a charge itself, but it comes with a huge assortment of plugs and interchangeable connectors that allow you to charge up a large selection of devices and power banks. This charger folds up to the size of a skinny briefcase. There’s a pocket built into it that allows you to carry along the various cables and connectors you need. This is a worthwhile addition to my hurricane preparation kit.

This is such a nicely built solar panel. It is quite large when fully unfolded (6 panels), but when collapsed, it's no bigger than a small briefcase. This kit is very nice because the panels come with 2 built in USB A (one of which is QC3.0), a USB C, and a DC port. The accessories include 4 small carabiners, USB cables, and a variety of different DC and solar connectors. I was able to use this to directly charge my cell phone, various USB accessories, and a power bank. Everything is very compact when folded away. This solar kit is excellent for camping and emergency situations.
