Which solar panel should I buy?

For a more efficient panel that isn't quite as portable, check out the BioLite Solar Panel 100.

For an all-weather panel that would take a tornado to blow away, check out the Renogy 100W Foldable

How much does the allpowers solar panel weigh?

The Allpowers is extremely portable. It only weighs 6.1 pounds and folds down six times to a seriously small size for a 100-watt panel. It consists of 15 individual 5 x 10.5-inch solar panels sewn into a canvas rectangle.

How efficient are the AllPower solar panels in cloudy conditions?

Under our Big White Sheet, the Allpowers didn't perform as well, generating 25.6 watt-hours of charge in one hour. No panel is particularly efficient in cloudy conditions, and the Allpowers had an average efficiency drop relative to its direct solar charging results and the other panels we tested.

Is a solar panel a good choice?

Whether you're using this in full sun or on a cloudy, overcast day, you'll still get some power from the sun. It's not the most efficient, but it makes up for its lack of efficiency with portability. If you're looking for a seriously portable solar panel that's still 100 watts, this is the best option.

Is the allpowers a good solar panel?

But, it only surprised us by being average. The Allpowers is a 100-watt panel made up of 15 individual monocrystalline silicon panels. Most large 100-watt solar panels fold once, or twice, but the Allpowers folds so many times we were shocked when it performed as well in direct solar charging speed.

What are the best portable solar panels?

The Allpowers is among the most portable large solar panels we tested. Weighing only 6.1 pounds and folding into a 12.5 by 7.5 by 3.5-inch block, this is one of the easiest models to carry. It's the only model we tested that folds in this way, which makes it the only model we can fit in an average day pack.
