I haven't had much luck actually getting the 30 watt version to charge either my anker power banks, or Iphone XR direct by USB, or with the included USB C adapter. I have been using it placed in a window on sunny day, in both direct and indirect sunlight. Maybe it's just not enough light. I am not sure it would be significantly brighter trying it outside.
The best I have been able to achieve is that I think I got it to charge my anker power bank, enough to charge my iphone about 50%. Most of the time, even with the sun directly hitting the panel.
My iphone for example will show that its charging, but never actually charge.
I am going to try this out a little more and I might revise my review accordingly if I get it to work better in more direct sunlight.
I bought this because I wanted to be able to charge power banks, my phone, or flashlights in case of power outage. I would have thought the 30w version would be able to handle this in less than optimal light, but maybe I need a higher wattage panel for my needs.
