Huge mistake having bought this tool

Length of ownership:1 year or longer
I bought this tool about one year ago. Because of Covid-pandemia I couldn't test it up to now. Yesterday first trial was catastrophic. Always only one of the LED was shining for a short while with sun-energy as well as cordless-charger. No charging signal on my cordless after having connected it. Neither in full sun (optima position) any charging activity. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the shop, where I bought panel. That means wastage of money for nothing. What a pity!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback! I am so sorry to hear about your Solar Panel. If your Panel is stored away for an extended period of time, we would ask that you charge the battery at least once every six months. Please reach out to our support team at support@bioliteenergy.com. We are happy to help troubleshoot this issue.

It is cool in concept but it took all day to charge in the sunlight in our home. Perhaps it will be good for camping when it can be placed in direct sunlight but it is a little big to pack. It would be easier to just take a small portable charger then.

We're sorry to hear that it took awhile to charge your SolarPanel 5+! This could definitely be a symptom of trying to charge the panel while indoors. We'd recommend placing your SolarPanel 5+ outdoors and in direct sunlight for the best results.

5 days in full sun and nothing. When I charged from the mains I only 50% charge. Had to buy battery pack. Absolute Rubbish

Not Compatible with USB C Chargers
on November 15, 2022

from Minnesota
Length of ownership:1 week
I bought this to charge my phone on backcountry trips but found out it isn't compatible with Android phones (USB C charger). I contacted support and was told to use an old iPhone charger but that obviously doesn't help. I can't return this product so I'm stuck with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice size and lightweight
on February 11, 2016

The solar panel arrived in great shape - excellent packaging. It is lightweight, easy to set up and use.
All it needs is a cover or bag so it can be easily stored with the cord.
