Foreword
Such portable solar panels I use now already some. The foldable solar modules are offered with different thicknesses between 5-75 watts and in all price ranges. Coupled with a powerful Power Bank, the devices are really interesting and are very versatile. The foldable solar panels generally provide a voltage of 5 volts via a conventional USB port. One can for example connect his smartphone or tablet directly to the solar panel, then it is charging times faster or slower depending on the times of sunlight. The better way is to turn a powerful Power Bank between. Depending on the performance of the Power Bank, the smartphone is charged even in the same speed as on the power supply.
The RawPower 15 Watt Solar Panel
The solar panel is well protected shipped in a carton. It comes with the foldable solar panel, 4 snap hook and an instruction manual. The foldable solar panel has 3 solar panels with a size of 21x13cm each. Fully opened measures the entire panel, including storage bag size of 60x23cm. The RawPower has 2 separate USB ports on which up to two devices can be charged simultaneously. Another practical feature is the integrated pocket with Velcro closure, in which the Smartphone during charging can be safely stowed.
Performance
The performance of the solar panels will naturally depend on the sunlight. In direct sunlight without clouds, the solar panel provides the most current and connected devices to be charged relatively quickly. A smartphone is charged at approximately the same speed as a conventional mains charger. However, it is cloudy, then performance degrades accordingly.
Purpose
You already use some of these solar panels regularly, I recommend the interposed a power bank. A Power Bank is a small, powerful lithium ion battery that is charged via USB. Good Banks Power supply when the are fully charged, enough energy for 4-6 complete smartphone charges. The Power Bank is charged continuously via the solar panel. So you can take care of his smartphone with power at all times.
Power Banks are available in various sizes and thicknesses. Ranging from small handy keychain for the 1-2 smartphone charges sufficient to powerful 12 volt battery, with which one can operate even notebooks and portable flat-panel televisions. Just who is staying a lot outdoors, or love camping goes, can start a whole lot with the right solar panel combination Power Bank.
