[Solar!] Does the sun you collect meet the energy needs of your gadgets?

#1

Do you take portable Solar Charger with you daily? Or only on long trips?

Just curious about are there any outdoor/solar enthusiasts?
What kind of battery bank or capacity do you pair the solar panel with?

I found it fascinating monitoring the output of the panel using USB meters and charge up Li-ion, AA/AAA batteries :smiley:

Based on my experience, it’s not a good idea to leave your solar panels behind car window, as it filters UV light and your panel is 80% LESS efficient!
Always facing the sun directly without any obstructions to maximize its output.
