BigBlue 30W Fast Charging Solar Charger with USB-A, USB-C and DC Outputs

Bought it for backpacking but doesn't pack or carry well. Compared to my older and smaller 14W Anker foldable panel, but did not notice any added benefits in charge capacity or speed.

Overall this portable solar panel is awesome: it generates a good amount of power, enough to charge and small devices or battery banks that I own. The materials feel durable and high-quality, and actually using the panel is very easy and straight-forward. It's not necessarily a negative quality, but the panel is heavier than I expected. In most instances this doesn't really matter, unless you plan on taking it backpacking or hiking, in which case I would recommend looking for something that is a bit smaller/lighter weight.

I had high hopes for this solar charger given the price but the more I use it the more disappointing it became without making my own modifications (see below). So: 3 stars for functionality but getting docked two for items that made it non user friendly. Pro: It's relatively lightweight and worked well to charge a flashlight w/powerbank I had. It took all day but did the job. Cons: 1. It does not open 'flat'. If you lean it against something to obtain the ideal charging angle prepare to use something to make the panels all sit at the same angle. 2. The provided carabiners are too large for the grommet holes and cannot be used. 3. There is an LED on the connection module that has no explained use in the manual. 4. There is no dust cover for the connection module or individual dust plugs for the power ports. 5. There is no pouch provided for keeping the power cable or carabiners in when not in use. 6. They removed the kickstand the prior model had that's being shown by all the internet video shills. Changes I had to make myself: 1. Purchased smaller carabiners that actually fit the grommets. 2. Purchased a USB C power meter dongle to help align the panel angle to the sun by gauging the amount power being provided to attached devices. 3. Purchased/added a small pouch to carry the cable and USB C power dongle. 4. Purchased/added some u-channel to clip to the solar panel edges to get it to stay flat. The clips also store nicely on the solar panels when closed if cut properly. 5. Purchased silicone USB port dust plugs (not shown in photos). Seriously, this is an issue outdoors with the small openings especially with USB C. 6. Added a Velcro strap/belt (not shown in photos) just for giggles to keep everything in place while being moved.

Qué cargador solar, más pésimo para los que entiendan este panel solar de 30 W en una salida de 5 V pero los 17 V no llega pero ni a 2 A. La salida de corriente de los circuitos es una salida muy inestable. Lo probé con el teléfono. Lo probé con unas LED y la salida no era estable, el voltaje parpadeaba en cambio al otro panel solar de 20 Watts que tengo, no hacía eso bien puede ser que el panel solar esté defectuoso o puede ser que sea una mentira en la descripción pero ya van tres artículos que compran en Amazon y todos me salen defectuosos, lo cual estoy empezando a creer que Amazon vuelve a enviar los paquetes que son devueltos por alguna causa y los por eso no vuelvo a comprar en Amazon el paquete de 20 W que compré, lo compré en AliExpress y no tengo ningún problema cumple con lo que dice

Lightweight, very thin, roughly the size of an IPad. 8” x 12” folded. 12” by 24” open. Tri-Fold. 6W at 6am using DC port. 17 watts at 5pm in the afternoon - DC port as well. Southeast US, July, Partly Cloudy. No kickstands on this updated model. No testing in peak sun has been performed but I am very pleased with the early morning/late afternoon results. Thanks Big Blue and Amazon!
