Customer Reviews for Goal Zero - Nomad 50 Portable Solar Panel - Black

It works great for me. Only bad thing is that I have duracell 500 power block and it took a while to find a connector that would fit the power block. Overall. I really like the Nomad 50. It's lightweight and easy to use. Maybe goal zero can make a connector for the duracell block 500.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased the Nomad 50 in June 2023. Tested it out in the backyard before the trip to the mountains. I learned to keep my device being charged out of the direct sun as it over heated and stopped accepting the charge from the Nomad 50.
Once in the mountains, with lessons learned, charging my phone and other items was a breeze.
Tip: Make sure you have the correct adaptors/cords you will need to connect to your devices that you want to charge and that they accept the USB connection that comes with the Nomad 50 and test before you go.

Not too big, not too small, it's just right!

My wife and I now have four Nomad 50's. They fold up small enough that they are easy to tuck in when we boondock or go to our off-grid cabin. We use three to keep our Yeti fully topped up, and one for our 12v. trailer battery maintainer. I like the rugged construction and the ability to stand them on the ground with the fold out legs, or hang them, or lay them on the windshield of our truck. Very versatile.

I recently bought my second goal zero solar charger device with panels. They are light weight and come in a heavy duty denier cloth carrying case. everything on the panels are color coded to match up with the charger.
Although I have not used my device yet as we are getting a ton of rain here in FL. I am sure that when I do have a half decent day to charge things up they will work just fine as have all my other Goal Zero units. Keep up the great work y'all!!

Great portability, average efficiency

If you're comparing this to other products, like a Boulder 100, please realize that what you are paying (a lot) for is the portability. Otherwise, it appears to be a little less efficient than a boulder. I did a side-by-side (same angle, etc.) test using a Yeti 400... best I could do with the Nomad was about 27 Watt/hrs (54% of 50), whereas the Boulder was putting out 58 Watt/hrs (58% of 100). I know from experience that in ideal conditions I can get up to about 63 (63%) from the Boulder, but so far the best I can do with the Nomad is 29 (58%). So, great for portability, but a little less efficient than a Boulder.

I haven’t used this but wanted the capability to “keep running”. I spent some time researching the price, charge times, size and weight and felt this was a good fit for my thinking
