A panel that weighs less than your snack yet keeps your navigation and photos alive. Designed for pack-top use or quick breaks, it trades brochure watts for trail watts—steady trickle that adds up by camp.
Technical Specifications
- Weight: 2.1 oz (59 g)
- Output: Peak 5 W @ 5 V; typical 1–3 W while hiking under clear skies
- Efficiency: ~22% mono cells; low-temp bias helps at altitude
- Surface: Semi-flex laminate; satin finish reduces glare
- Tie-outs: 4 bar-tacked loops sized for 1–2 mm cord
- Cable: 12 in USB‑A/USB‑C pigtail (removable)
Field Notes / Pro Tips
- Angle toward the sun during lunch; 20–30 minutes often tops up a headlamp.
- Swap to airplane mode and charge earlier in the day—electronics are happier cool.
- On windy ridges, clip the downwind corners; flapping costs watts and patience.
What’s Included
- Solar panel
- Short USB cable (we tried longer; you hated it)
- Two mini cord loops for quick rigging
Note: Clouds, trees, latitude, and ambition affect output. The panel is waterproof until submerged, at which point it becomes a very thin memory.
