Anker Solix PS30 Solar Panel, 30W Foldable Portable Solar Charger, IP65 Water and Dust Resistance, Ultra-Fast Charging, Charges 2 Devices at Once, for Camping, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities.

Great Anker Solar Panel
Great panel quality, lightweight, and a good hiking panel for extra charge. Price is a bit high, but with Anker quality it’s known to be reliable. Gotten wet and has had dirt on it, no issues. 15W usb-c is best for charging a phone or a battery bank, but the usb-a port is generally left unused. Would recommend finding the best angle to get maximum sunlight for most power output, as it can severely drop in current if it’s too low or high.

Thank you!
Waiting to try it out but looks good.

Lackluster. Barely 25% efficiency – Questionable value. Total pain in cold weather.
So far, out in the field I’m less than impressed. The durability is good, so I’ll give it one star for that. I like how it packs up and snaps together and the little led light shows its getting sun but this thing never gets over 6 to 7 watts so the rating is wildly overstated and the price for what may be 10 watts at peak is a HUGE premium to pay when there are rated panels at 10w that achieve 10w. I wasn’t expecting 100% efficiency but 25 percent efficiency and we’re talking about being scammed out of hard-earned money by a brand that should know better. Tested in bright TX sun and clear mountain skies with no clouds in southern New Mexico in the middle of June during peak sunlight – tried changing angle/position – just takes a lot of work to eek out those few watts. Which speaks to the second star, the “startup” watt is almost non existent so it can trickle charge with lazy positioning. Weight isn’t too bad, but it will take up precious space if you hike because it does have gaps in the folds. may be worthwhile to hang off pack if hiking in open area to reduce consumption of phone or gps devices or charge a smart watch.I’m in the honeymoon phase of being able to keep or return the item. will continue to try and see how it works over next week while i work my way up New Mexico and decide the fate of this device, I will update the review if i can get anywhere near 50% or more of its rating or I’ve given up hope and returned it. The weight of a larger battery like the anker 735 with huge capacity may be more worthwhile than a smaller pack and this solar panel in space/hassle/trade off if you need power while away from civilization.Update: Back from my trip. The only reason I’ll keep this at 1 star is it survived flying off my car when I drove off after leaving it on the roof to try and charge something. To be honest, it would have been better to leave it on the side of the road. I am completely disappointed. I didn’t bother returning it after getting road rash.I purchased a 10w “security camera” USB C charger that charges at higher wattage/voltage than this and is barely the size of one of the panels on this foldout thing and it doesn’t try and close up when it’s cold outside. Trying to use this Anker solar panel on a brisk morning is futile as it won’t “relax” out of its buttoned-up position. You have to use straps or bungee cords to hold it open.Worst investment ever.

Well constructed 30W solar panel from a company you can trust for quality.
This solar panel provides great output with great sunlight and folds to a reasonably compact size for a 30W panel. Folded its about the size of 8.5×11 sheet of paper and an inch thick (the 5mm thick panels do not stack directly on each other). USB A and C connectors are provided, each covered with a rubber cap. There is no storage pocket as with some other similar products, you’ll have to store cables, batteries, devices to charge etc elsewhere. This keeps the design very simple and clean. When folded there are two snaps that hold it shut. The price seems reasonable for the durability and quality.

J’ai acheté ce chargeur solaire pour charger mon power bank anker, ainsi que quelques petits appareils. J’ai plusieur produit anker et j’étais un grand fan de la marque pour la qualité de ses produits. Donc je n’ai pas fait trop de recherche, erreur. Je l’ai acheté en septembre 2023, croyant en la qualité du produit, je n’ai pas vraiment fais de test, juste un petit branchage pour voir s’il fonctionnait. Tout avait l’air beau, je l’ai donc serré pour l’hiver. Au mois de juillet 2024 je le sort pour le tester comme il le faut. Fonctionne bien les 5 premières minutes, après ça il commence à se déconnecter et reconnecter tous les 30 secondes, je l’essaie avec plusieur fil et appareil, même chose. Téléphone samsung s9, tablette samsung tab A, cigarette electronique et power bank anker, tous le même résultat. Je lui laisse donc une chance, je me dis que le soleil n’est peut être pas assez fort ou trop de nuage je sais pas. Je le réésaye quelque jour plustard, même chose, 5 min ok, après déconnect-reconnect au 30 sec, et aujourd’hui le 7 Août 2024, un autre test correct 5 min et pouf, plus rien. La lumière rouge ne s’allume même plus au soleil. Vraiment décu, un truc flambette qui fonctionne même pas. 110$ au poubelle, vu que ça fait 11 mois, il ne me remboursseront surement pas. La compagnie Anker m’a contacté pour m’offrir un rembourssement, service à la clientèle exceptionnelle. Merci Anker.

Nice quality panels, but they take a long time to charge anything, so be patient.
