Review: An actual proper portable solar panel! Type c! - I was pleased to find that this panel does not have glass panels. This is a serious plus as they live in my backpack, they even have a little flex to them. The panels are actually embedded in what seems to be a solid rubber so they don’t get ruined by rain! When out in full sun this panel charges my phone quickly on a type c fast charge cable, impressive. Over all I would say the panel is great value for money, it’s robust and can handle the outdoors easily. Folds up to the size of an a4 sheet of paper, just thicker obviously. If 40w is all you need look no further, it’s been helping me for months. Lastly, if it’s a little overcast they still deliver power, just not under full thick rain cloud!
