ELECOM NESTOUT Portable Solar Panel, Dual USB-A Ports, 28W Power Generation Charger for Phone Camping, Durable Water-Resistant Ripstop Nylon, Foldable Lightweight, Adjustable Stands (4-Panel)

I have several portable solar panels for different occasions and purposes but, the one thing that separates this one from others is the handy pouch to carry a battery power pack and cords. This 28W panel is also compact enough to strap onto a backpack or place inside. With backpacking, any added weight is not desirable but, if you’re going to be roughing it for a few days or more in the wilderness and need a power source, then this would be a good contender. BUT, if you are going to be where there’s going to be an issue with having enough direct sunlight for effective solar charging then maybe taking several power packs would be more effective and logical. I like this solar charging panel and its portability. The output reading is bright enough and easy to see how much sunlight you’re getting and it does have two USB slots for dual charging capabilities. The only thing I do not like is the lack of a Type C port. I’m assuming it has to do with the type of solar power converted they’re using so it’s not a deal breaker for me. Hopefully they will come out with an updated version, which I would gladly buy IF it’s not too much more expensive. Overall I like this portable solar power charging system and the quality of the design and materials is pretty good. So, if you’re into backpacking, hiking, camping, or prepping then I recommend it. Other than hiking and backpacking, this panel is also part of my bug out gear list. You never know when you gotta make a run for it…

Charges very quickly, weight is good, size is perfect for my application, both usb ports can be used at the same time. Very well made and unique design. I would 10/10 recommend!

Works great! Perfect for charging my devices and batteries when I'm in the field. The storage pocket is very convenient for organization of cords and accessories

The nestout solar panel works great with my nest out battery. It charges very quickly within two hours. My battery pack is full. Will be buying more nest out products.

Good product does what it says. Only problem is shipping the shipping was near a week late

I use it as an emergency power source for my small electronics and GPS unit via the rechargeable Nestout battery. Thats right in the wheelhouse for this solar panel.Ruggedness: Seems well put together, and of high quality materials. That being said, the velcro fastened legs used to prop up the device so it can properly face the angle of the sun could be a little more sturdy. You will need a solid surface if you are going to use them. All in all, I like the look of this panel. It just says "I'm ready for the outdoors!".Charging time: It fully charged the Nestout 15k mAh battery from 40 to 100% in a period of about 7-hours. Needs full sun, and you might have to move it around to get the full charging effect. I recommend the 15k mAh battery because you can charge a smartphone or GPS multiple times with it. There is a lighter and smaller version as well, but I like the longer lasting battery power of the 15k.Portability: Packs away easily in most 60-90l hiking packs. With the 15K mAH battery it is a little hefty, but not unmanageable. You can pack the cables, battery, and any other accessories inside the pouch of the solar panel to save space. There is a way to charge the panel as you go, by securing to a backpack but I'm not sure how effective it is.Value for money: You could probably find better panels out there, but I can't argue with the price of this unit. Its priced about right, and fits the need.I love this device and the battery that i purchased separately. With the long term unreliability of the US power grid being a concern of mine, its important to have a backup option. Plus, you can take this wherever you go, even on vacation and have a reliable option to keep your devices charged!

This product works incredibly well I was able to charge lots of devices with it, I don't know how often I will bring it backpacking with me just because usually when I'm setting up camp it is night time so I don't get a whole lot of time to charge things with this unless I'm spending the night in the same place and have time in the morning to charge things. I don't often hang these off my back just because I spend a lot of time in Forest cover when hiking so it's not an incredibly practical thing to take with me everywhere, but if I'm going to be spending an extended period in one place this will be in my pack.

Reliable and Convenient Power on the Go!I recently purchased the ELECOM Nestout 4-Panel Solar Charger and have been using it for a few days now—overall, I’m very impressed!Performance wise, it charges my devices especially my phone and power bank efficiently under direct sunlight. Even on cloudy days, it provides a decent trickle charge which is a huge plus when I’m outdoors.Highly recommended for anyone who wants a sustainable power option while traveling or in emergencies.I just hope that the 15000 mah Powerbank will become available here in the Philippines in the near future.
