Top 3 Solar Panels for Your Devices – My Picks from Testing Over $1000 Worth of Portable Panels
Every panel that I've tested has a wattage between 30W-70W which is going to be perfect for charging smartphones and tablets while you travel. The quality of these panels vary greatly BUT after testing them for 8 weeks, I've figured out which ones are worth getting!
Top 3 Portable Solar Panels (w/ Amazon links)
1.) Renogy E.Flex 30W Portable Solar Panel: mreh.ca/3RG3ete
2.) X-Dragon XD-SP-001: mreh.ca/45BjyBl
3.) BigBlue 28W Solar Charger B428: mreh.ca/3VWBSl2
Toughest Portable Solar Panels - Jackery SolarSaga 40W Mini Solar Panel: mreh.ca/4ccXXRX
For this video, I tested 8 solar panels against 14 criteria. These criteria included:
-Price
-Max Total Wattage
-Max Port Wattage
-# of Ports
-Size
-Weight
-Protection
-%Panel Failure
-Low Light Charging
-Overcast Charging
-Sunny Charging
-Multi-Device Charging
-Handling
-Extras
Each criteria was weighted with the charging criteria making up ~50% of the score. For the charging, I recorded the output wattage of the panels in light ranging from 200 lux all the way up to the maximum sunlight in my area which was 75 klux. This process took weeks!
It was worth it because I have a graph showing how efficient each panel was as the day went on.
#3 BigBlue 28W Solar Charger B428: mreh.ca/3VWBSl2
• Priced at $70, it’s one of the better deals.
• Maximum wattage is 28W split across three 12W USB-A ports.
• Three USB-A ports, no USB-C - kind of annoying.
• It claims 36W total but maxes at 28W - like promising a gourmet meal but serving instant noodles.
• Low light charging standout: 2.4W in shadows, average 1.63W.
• Overcast: 8W, max 12W in early morning sun.
• Charges even if 3/4 panels are covered.
• Protection rating: IPX4 - handles splashes but not much else.
• Large, lightweight, and easy to deploy.
• Comes with USB-A to C cable and 4 carabineers for easy mounting.
• Best bang for your buck, but IPX4 rating is a concern in heavy rain.
#2 X-Dragon XD-SP-001: mreh.ca/45BjyBl
• Most expensive at $120.
• Offers 70W max, but not really.
• Two USB-A ports (12W each) and a 54W DC output.
• Handy for larger items and can daisy chain - like bringing a friend for extra fun.
• Shade: 1.9W (below average), overcast: 12W.
• Mid-day sun: 12W to both USB-A ports.
• IPX4 rating - basic protection.
• If you cover 1/3 of the panels, it dies.
• Largest but folds neatly with inside pouch.
• Weighs 1500 grams - almost twice the average.
• Comes with DC power cables, mini clamps, and USB-A to C cable.
• Overall: better than average charging and functionality.
The “Toughest” Panels
• Jackery SolarSage 40W Mini Solar Panel: IP68, great in sunlight, $150. If $20 cheaper, it would have been #3.
• FlexSolar S20 Solar Pad: IP67, thin-film, portable but not great at charging.
• Goal Zero Nomad 10: IP67, but terrible performance. Size matters!
#1 Renogy E.Flex 30W Portable Solar Panel : mreh.ca/3RG3ete
• Priced at $75, it’s the best overall.
• Scores: 2.45 compared to 3.35-3.6 for others.
• 30W max, 20W USB-C port (unique in my group).
• USB-A port maxes at 12W.
• Shade: 2.4W, overcast: 9W (above average).
• Mid-day sun: 19W, close to 20W.
• 20W means 50% charge on iPhone 15 in 30 mins.
• Flaw: blackout 1/2 panels, the other half stops charging.
• IP54 rating - decent but below average.
• Average size, bulky pouch, lightweight.
• Comes with one cable and 4 carabineers for easy mounting.
• Large pouch for extra tech accessories.
• Overall: top performance, efficient and reliable

    Excellent review @MobileReviewsEh!, I saw this one, Yoocas Portable Power Bank, 2 in1 Hybrid Charger-10000mAh, and looks like the first Anker with a nicer screen, but wonder how well will do with your tests?, is cheaper and seems to offer exactly the same as the Anker.

    So I bought a new iMac desktop computer on Friday I had it hooked up yesterday and I’m very disappointed that it has only 2 USB-C ports and no USB-A ports. I bought and external drive that is usb-c i connected to my computer and I bought an Apple CD ROM that is usb- a and and dongle USB-A, Card reader and usb-c and hdmi all in one and it is terrible the cd rom doesn’t work on it gives a message needs to be plugged directly into the computer impossible so basically I’m looking for a good combination multi port plug for card reader usb a and c please help me

    Here’s a fatal flaw, how hard do people really have to press on an iPad screen? Almost barely any pressure, I also use my Apple Pencil pro which here’s a fatal flaw IT DOESN’T, you UA-camrs really do pick up on very minimalistic things when really you ain’t paying for an iPad, your returning it, it’s all about content creation with you folks, I’ve yet to come across a real genuine person who uses it for work and picks up on your “fatal flaws” if you really want something to punch go to a gym or here’s an idea DONT BE SO HEAVY HANDED ON THE MOST SOPHISTICATED IPAD OR TABLET to date

    My first skin was EasySkinz, which is so bad that it isn't even on this list. The back is all right but all of the separate parts started to peel and lose their integrity. They looked so bad that I slowly took them off, which is a shame. I'm surprised that you gave Phantom such a high score considering that it comes with a lot of separate parts. Won't they also peel and lose their integrity pretty quickly compared to Dbrand lets say, that is all one piece? This is my biggest concern, the smaller parts on the edge of the iphone losing their integrity.

    There is a power bank that is never mentioned, but the Jackery explorer 100+ is 100 watts (real watts, no x 1000's of mA [1 amp!]) and should be in this category. It has 100 watts of LFP power so it won't get hot, has no thermal runaway issues, and won't catch fire. Two USB type c (both bi-directional) and a type A with the the USB c's both rated to 100 watts each. And with 3000 usable charge / recharge cycles to 80%, this one will still be going strong after you have gone thru 4 or 5 of the "traditional" power banks. The jungle company has these on sale pretty often for $99. And yes, these can legally go on an aircraft and probably get you thru the longest international flights. I also have your number 2 choice as i also like Anker products in general. Great review!

    I’d love to see matte glass screen protectors included in your next comparison. I found speckle and wear to be a big problem with matte films, and the Mothca one I bought avoids this. But I don’t know if that’s the best of this type. There is a hit to contrast, but I really prefer how it looks and feels over the iPad Pro screen’s normal finish. Of course the new Pros do have a matte option now if you get the 1TB model - and I’m sure that looks even better.

    Mous cases are great, keeps your phone protected and are not too big. The bike mounts are not too expensive like the peak design or quad lock. Having said that, these systems ties you up to one company, so when you replace your phone you need to buy a new expensive case from the same brand. A simple universal bike mount is not only much cheaper, you can use it with any case or phone or even without a case.

    Goid content. No, thank you. Not after seeing a UA-camr drop test, an iPhone 15pro max in a mouse case with the wood back panel on the side walk after 2 drops at 6ft the screen totally cracked. For what there charging, there should be a much higher lip protection for the front screen. 🤔

  • @calebng1124
    @calebng1124 2 дні тому

    Uh…no. Whether the hinge sits flush is not the reason…it’s just physics. The new keyboard holds the iPad above the hinge instead of in front of the hinge. While this design change created room for the extra keys and the larger trackpad, it also changed the center of gravity. Now the new iPad is lighter, which is probably the only it works at all. But yes, ultimately just physics.
