Super compact, perfect for operation on the windshield +++ charge your laptop directly with USB-C
charge my Jackery power station regularly using a solar panel and also have other 100 watt panels that I can compare with. USE The foldable ALLPOWERS solar panel is ideal for use with cars and camping. It can be folded up very compactly and fits into any gap in the car or camper. Placed on the windshield (if the car is aligned correctly) it is at about the right angle for optimal performance. Since it doesn't stand on its own, in other applications, if you don't hang it or hang it taut with ropes, it's more difficult to achieve the optimal angles than with rigid panels with a stand (or simply counter-positioned against a wall or similar). When it comes to cars, you have the great side effect of shading the inside of the car at the same time. In my opinion it is too heavy for hiking, it weighs 2.38 kg (correctly stated in the text of the product, incorrectly in the comparison picture!). PERFORMANCE I think the performance of 100 watts is realistic. Of course, these can only be achieved under ideal conditions (sun at its zenith, no haze, etc.), i.e. not in Germany. When lying down, far away from the optimal angle, I can reach up to 55 watts around midday. That's fine. However, I have another 100 W panel that creates around 10% more power with the same orientation. If you're looking for maximum performance in the smallest space, you'll have to look elsewhere. The area is larger here anyway because there is a lot of space between the individual panels for folding. CONNECTIONS Nothing is left to be desired here, at least not for me. Finally a panel in this price range with a USB-C connection and really PD power. This means I can charge my laptop directly, without having to go through a power adapter and power station, etc. There are a lot of adapters included, which is everything I need (see photo). And if you want to charge the car battery, you can do that too. I haven't tried that. CONCLUSION I really like the foldable panel. It fits easily into the car or camper and can be used perfectly there. The charging performance is not in the top group, but the workmanship, the scope of delivery and the connections are top. That's why I'm rounding the 4.5 stars I give here to five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
