Anker’s latest solar charger is available exclusively in Japan, at least for now… Take a look at PowerPort Solar 60:

Measuring in at 33.9 * 27.6 * 0.2 in when opened, PowerPort Solar 60 is by far Anker’s largest solar charger. There are two DC outputs (8mm @ 16.8V=3A and 5.5mm @ 17.6V=3A), which means this p can power up devices such as PowerHouse! In addition to the DC outputs, there are two USB-A ports, capable of outputting 5V at up to 3A total (2.4A per port).

Depending on Cost I would be interested in this if it came here to the states.

Well, a direct conversion would suggest $178.32, which seems about right to me.

This thing looks awesome I was afraid Anker gave up on solar after the price increase of their last Models.

I have a couple that another company sent me to review and they are nice. But this one I could see a good option for camping and off grid multi-day hiking.

This guy does a water and crush test and even tosses it in a fire pit and I have to say I was very impressed with the original Anker Solar panel durability I would imagine the new solar panel is on par with that level of durability.

Ironically for me I checked on the 21watt solar panel and that price went to like $186!! Would be nice to see this hit outside Japan

It’s hard to tell from the product photo, but it seems that it’s a HUGE panel - I’m assuming it will be like three PowerPort Solar 21 side-by-side, which is also indicated by the name. And with both DC and USB outputs, we are talking serious camping equipment here.

If I were to go on a long group camping trip, I would totally consider this. Just one would be enough to keep a 5 to 6-person group properly powered through an easy rotation. So, if I ever find another 4 to 5 people to go camping with me, and I’m in Japan, I’ll get one! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Too big for me, I use 21W and carry the weight of it. Also what keeps it flat square to the sun? I unfold 21W and prop it against bag, what stops this big a panel folding?

Advantage of bigger is it’s more likely to work in any daylight situation even inside the tent if it’s raining. I’d say 21W per person to keep a phone working and a few smaller items like flashlight, BT buds. So this would serve 3 people easily.

I actually have that little Goal Zero and to be perfectly honest I haven’t found it particularly practical. I’d be willing to trade on the size for larger capacity I think.
