Short version: Heavy, NOT fast charging, all panels must get some sun to work. Seems like it's of high quality parts. Good for emergency situations. Like waiting for power to return after a natural disaster (charges small things like phone, camera, Ipad).
Long version:
Weighs a bit more then I expected. With that said it weighs what was stated in the description.
I bought for a hiking trip. Only tested it at home thus far.
Only works when the sun hits all panels. With that said, does work on a half cloudy day.
For example all panels are getting sun. One panel panel is getting full sun. The others are getting some sun through light clouds. It still changed my phone.
The charge time was slower then I would have liked. I don't know if it is fast, slow, or normal for comparable products. I expect this to take over a few hours to charge from dead to full.
I plan to keep the battery up on my phone while backpacking. By limiting its use and charging with this during breaks, lunch, and setting up camp/dinner. Should work if the weight is not too much.
This solar panel kit is ideal for a natural disaster. If you are stuck in one place with enough sun. This will charge your devices until power comes back on.
