Mesuvida 60 W Solar Panel Charger met 5 poorten, 18 V MC4 Higher Output/12 V DC/QC 3.0 USB-A & USB-C(PD 45W) Opvouwbaar Solar Panel, USB Solar Panel met Kickstands, Draagbare Zonnepanelen voor Camping

I'm new to all this equipment to capture solar energy, and purchased 2 portable power stations that charge up via mc4 and this solar panel. Chose the 60W due to it's compact size, so takes up less storage room, and the fact that it has mc4. The solar panel was delivered yesterday, but due to the weather I wasn't able to test it out until today. The sun today has been intermittent and kept disappearing behind the clouds. When the sun did pop out, my power station registered highest at 52 and fluctuated at various levels all the way down to zero when the sun went behind the clouds. For the short time that the solar panel was in operation, my power station increased by 4% so I thought that was respectable Tomorrow is supposed to be better weather, so I will test the solar panel for a longer period. I've no idea how to obtain multimeter readings etc., but maybe in time I will. An ideal place in my garden for the solar panel is to hang it from the washing line in landscape orientation. However, when I tried this using a carabiner in the two top corners, the solar panel kept folding inwards, so I had to place it on the lawn. Will have to see if I can think of how I can securely fasten each corner of the solar panel onto the washing line. For the test today, I only attached the short mc4 cable that was supplied with my power station. Will be interesting to see what power the solar panel will generate using the longer mc4 cable that I have........this will save me having to carry the heaviest power station in and out of the house. Very pleased with the compact dinky size and the light weight of the solar panel. Appears to be well made and good value. Very happy so far with my purchase.

Pleased to report that the solar panel actually works really well.Had previously bought a 30w panel(not from this seller), which was dreadful.Definitely recommended

I quite like the idea of one panel still functioning if the other is damaged, since my old 15W panel came apart and needed on the go repairs to work at all. Sadly this feature hid the fact that only one panel of this product was working in the first place. I couldn't understand why it seemed to take longer to charge with a 60W panel than my old 15W, until I covered each side in turn.Before this I had to pay for and wait for a tester, which confirmed low output (c. 0.01A per USB typically).It would also be easier for me to have one more powerful output that can be split under cover for multiple devices. The instructions didn't help me to understand what was going on.If it had worked then it would have been a good deal at the price.

In strong sunshine, this panel really pumps out the power, charging multiple items at once. In cloudy conditions it still generates, but don't expect anything rapid. On a cloudy day, it took my 27000mah battery from 76% to 100% in about 5 hours. I was away from the tent much of time so can't be sure of exactly how long it took. It kept 4 iPhones and an Amazon tablet fully powered for over 4 nights camping.Good points: the pouch on the back, which houses the power regulator, is big enough to hold cables and small battery packs. This means you can leave it with no trailing cables while charging, and it's very quick to pick up move round as the sun's direction changes. My battery back does not take a fast charge and doesn't get hot on charging; a faster charging pack may get too hot for this confined space.Folds up nicely for transporting.Cons: having the power regulator fixed to the unit means lots of cables trailing into the tent (if the devices can't go in the pouch). It also means there is a greater risk to the electronics getting wet: while shielded behind the panel, the electronics are only in a zipped pouch. It survived light rain without issue.Strong gusts of wind can blow it over.

It's a very handy panel with cables that comes along with it. Panels can get scratched with a bit for force applied. So be careful with the wind blowing them over. Mines scratched kinda quick. Never got the 60w. More like 45w to 50w
