This is a really nice solar panel with battery storage. It is light - versatile - well built - useful for many types of situations including backpacking - boating - camping - general travel - around the house and yard. Nice design - style - engineering. Great for keeping all your gadgets juiced up and going. Go green - get this panel.

Ticks All all of the Boxes

Other than the fact that I always could use some instructions with respect to how to get any biolite product out of it's box; there are no negatives here.
Since their beginnings Biolite has always earned my trust and they've done it again. They said is was light weight - and it is. They mentioned it was "tough" - and so it is. How 'bout "simple" - it couldn't be more straight forward.
We acquired it thinking in terms of "risk management"......a handy safeguard should something need recharging. What we've discovered is that it is really a convenience that takes concerns and the need for serious conservation off the table.

Lovin' the sun
on March 25, 2016

Received my Solar Panel 5+ a couple of weeks ago and have used it repeatedly at the beach. The sun dial feature makes using the solar panel a breeze. It's durable, but wish it came with a cover. Note sure if it's the sunscreen on our hands or we touched it when it was hot from the sun, but it's covered with our "finger prints". Tried to wash it off, but no luck. Doesn't bother me and product is working great. Can't wait to take it backpacking. I've got several Biolite products and love them all! Good job Biolite!

Best solar panel on the market
on March 25, 2016

I have tried Joos Orange, Goal Zero and Biolite Solar Panel 5+
The Biolite 5+ is by far the best solar panel out there.....by using the sun dial you maximize the energy collected (a big advantage).....the stand can be placed at many different angles (big advantage).....it is very durable....charges iPhone, tablet and other Biolite products very well.
Joos Orange costs almost twice as much and has problems collecting energy (because of positioning)....Goal Zero is just cheap junk (very flimsy)
Bottom line I bought a second one

Great Kit!

If you are an outdoor activities person then you need a Solar Panel 5+. If you travel to out-of-the-way places, then you need one of these. Everything works as advertised! Keeps a charge and easily charges your phone or Kindle. I saw how a similar panel ($$$$) worked great in Nepal and the Solar Panel 5+ is as good if not better for less cost.

Very durable. Love that there is a battery to store energy. Kick stand is a great feature. BioLite has done it again. =)
