BigBlue 100W Solar Panel w/USB-C(45W PD)+USB-A(Fast Charging 18W) & MC-4 Ports, IP68 Waterproof, Camping Essentials, Folding Portable Solar Charger w/Kickstand for Power Stations, Phones, Tablets

I purchased this panel primarily for charging Ryobi 18V batteries with solar power. The SolarPowa 60 consistently delivers 38-40W via USB-C (19.5V x 2.0A) and 45-46W (17.7V x 2.6A) via DC5525 port to my Ryobi aftermarket USB-C charger, with a DC to USB-C accessory (purchased separately.) Orientation and sun intensity (time of day) will affect Current, but the Voltage was stable as long as some form of sunlight was impacting the solar cells. The high voltage was great for early morning setups. After minor adjustments, my Ryobi USB-C charger started charging. At 7am the USB-C port delivered (19.5V x 0.4A - 8.1W) with peaks of (19.5V x 0.7A - 12.8 W). By 11am-4pm a consistent 38-40W of power (USB-C) is produced by this panel, easily allowing multiple 4-6Ah 18V batteries to be recharged for free (with purchase of this panel.) I have primarily used this on my deck, driveway, and in my yard since purchase; with plans to expand to our fifth wheel camper. Lightweight at 4lbs and compact at 10” x 8” x 2” - similar to a thick notepad / paperback book. Easy to setup alone, and straight forward instructions. This panel was left outside in a summer pop-up storm by accident, fell asleep. It was flat on my patio table with charger and battery underneath in the shade. Water was beaded up and standing on the panels when I approached them but it caused no damage. Luckily my charger and battery were safe in the shaded covering of the table. I dried off the fabric backing with a towel and have had no issues whatsoever since it was rained on. I don’t plan on being rough with this equipment but it does give me peace of mind it is durable. Time will tell. 2 Year warranty per Big Blue.

My expectations are never high when ordering consumer electronics from Amazon but this is a legitimately well engineered product. It folds down to about the size of a bible. Super easy to fold. The integrated support/stand design is genius. The controller is attached and has USB C port right on it. You don’t need to carry extra adapters or anything. First time trying it and I pulled 42w right off the bat….so no complaints on my end. I will say that the actual controller box feels somewhat fragile, so be careful when handling it. I haven’t had any issues, but it would not surprise me to see this fail in the future. Big recommend.

Pros: - Compact - Light weight - Powerful - Charging cable fits most common power charging stations without adapter - USB-A and USB-C direct charge Cons - The power box is totally exposed and has virtually no protection from the elements, except for a rubber cap on the ports. - Folding is a bit difficult and awkward with 8 separate panels. In the closed position, one of the straps goes right over the power box and deforms the rubber port cap easily. I was able to pull about 40 watts without optimizing the position of the panel against the sun. Overall great product that could become perfect with a bit of redesign.

Performed great for my need! I wanted something to keep my devices running while at the beach or camping. (away from a charging port) This folds up very neatly and is not "too large" when deployed. (fits perfectly on top of a folding wagon like you take to haul stuff to the beach) Instead of plugging straight into a phone or tablet, (which I did try, and it will distribute power to both USB C and A simultaneously) I chose to route the power through the USB C to a portable battery heavy on USB C input/outputs. This turned out to be the key to the perfect set-up! Add a battery, and it becomes a "set it and forget it" power station! I ran several devices on the beach all day (iPhone, iPad Air, 2 android phones, and a Bluetooth speaker) and all left the beach with 100% charge after all day use thanks to the battery supporting pass-through charging. The panel was very easy to set up, and provided a measured 26w-36w (and maybe more at times, but that's all I saw at times on a intermittently cloudy day), which was well in excess of the draws on the listed devices. The legs on the back are easy to use and depending on the situation, can get you to full charge sooner depending on sun angle. I'd buy one again just to be able to deploy two!! I would like to see a better dust guard on the ports. Or maybe individual covers on each port, so the unused ports can stay covered while the others are in use. But if you're placing it on something and not directly in sand, it'll do fine.

Failed within a year of use. The USB C worked shortly with close to the rated output (40W) until the entire panel failed leaving a total output of 10W. I'm using panels in extream heat (40+C) and this panel melted unto the point of being floppy- the panel might be a good purchase in less extream conditions but not so in the Mojave Desert.

This worked better than expected during a recent camping trip. I bought a smaller power storage unit, I think it’s 292 kWh. I was able to charge it to full in a few hours with this. It’s only 100w, so I was pleased with the performance. When I first set it up, I thought I made a terrible mistake because the cable it came with didn’t fit my power supply. But I went back to the box later, and found an excellent adapter cable that fit multiple types of jacks. Big relief. I would buy this again. I might buy it again, and double up.

I spent about a week defining my needs and then 2 weeks researching the equipment I thought would best serve them. I used to do this for a living. So I bought these panels 1st. Then a month later I bought the solar generator I chose to pair these panels with. A week later, after waiting for a typical spring storm to pass, I finally got the chance to see how everything worked. I full well knew that I most likely wouldn't get the full wattage out of the panels. I was hoping for at least the 38 to 43 watts I read in the reviews. I set everything up and plugged the panels in, which took all of maybe 3 or 4 minutes. 43 watts right from the get go. I adjusted the panels to get a better angle on the sun and it jumped to 53 watts!!! Seriously??? I didn't see any reviews that got that result. I do live in Colorado & I'm at 6400' above sea level. It was a beautiful cloudless blue sky, so I had lots of great sunbeams to work with. A couple hours later, after the sun had arched over and I lost the prime angle, it was still providing 43 watts. A slight adjustment and again over 50 watts, 52 to be exact! I was beyond satisfied. Basically I was ecstatic. These panels are extremely well made. They are very simple and quick to deploy. They charged my new Bluetti Elite 30 V2 solar generator from 35% to 99% in about 3 hours. They fold up so nice and are a perfect size to fit in a backpack. What more can you ask? I highly recommend these solar panels to anyone looking for solid output in the 12 to 24vdc range to charge their solar generator, power bank, radios, cell phone, laptop, tablet, flashlight, headlamp, air pump or whatever device requires USB-A, USB-C or straight 12vdc power. I can't wait to test the quick charge capability. From my initial test, I have full trust in the safety features.

BigBlue’s 60watt panel is a high quality item. The kickstands are easy to use and produce 45 to 50 watts of power when positioned properly on a sunny day. They are easy to refold and pack away in a bicycle pannier. I use a silicone band to secure the rubber flap that covers the power outlets.

Sehr schnell geliefert...bei etwas milchigem Himmel im Februar, 20000mAh Akku mit USB C von 57% auf 76% innerhalb 70min. Insgesamt wertiges China Produkt, kann ich empfehlen. Die Stützen sind zweckmässig, lassen jedoch keine Winkelverstellung zu.

Très belle qualité et facile d usage👍

Came well packaged. Works fine. Quality and finish fine. Can't say anything about durability since it is new.

Works well. You need to make sure that you use a 60W USB C cable to get the full output.

Pictures when I purchased showed a USB output - which wasn’t present on the panel itself. It’s just the panel and two cables with MC4 connectors - nothing else. Returned immediately. Not as advertised. Very frustrating.
