RE: Personal solar plant. My Actifit Report Card: April 5 2024
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
@ervin-lemark, @manuvert - the panel is 48x18cm, foldable. The USB output gives 5V, quite stable on a sunny day. Enough to charge a mobile on the go. Bought it for.. 10 EUR on Temu.
Inconvenient if worn the way I had it on the photo, better if the sun is behind and then it can be strapped to a backpack.

Thanks for the details. The one I had was smaller, just two panels, although each panel was slightly bigger than the ones on yours. Stability was the main problem, no way to plug that directly into a phone, because it would destroy the battery. It came with a power bank, very robust one, and the idea was to charge the power bank during sunny times, and use it to charge devices later. Maybe I will try it again during my next trip, just for fun, as I probably won't do any overnight.
Have a great day, !ALIVE

mine is w/o powerbank, you charge your mobile directly. Quite stable when walking. But as said, inconvenient for a longer walk if the panels are hooked to the front backpack straps and they bounce off your chest.
I tested it also in a forest - the panels are good, they get the sun even if exposure is not direct (trees shadow) and charging is stable. Given the price - highly recommended.
