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.

Nice compact panel- largest panel GZ has with USB

Used to charge a Yeti 200x and a Yeti 500x on a recent trip- this is the largest foldable panel GZ has with a USB out if you want to charge a smaller power bank or something else- I plan on getting another to chain together to get 100W while still having USB capability.

Folds up so nice and does not take up much room. Kept my electronic "must haves"charged up.

Perfect size for the weekend warrior. I bought this with my Yeti 500X and both are small enough I can take camping, to work, or wherever I need power.
The Nomad is not bulky or too heavy which is good as you don't want it blowing away. I like that it is powerful enough to get a good charge on the Yeti and other UBS accessory and compacts to stick behind my truck seat. The other great feature is that it will chain with my Nomad 27and has the quality you'd expect from a Goal Zero product

The panel arrived promptly and the shipping packaging well protected it. Upon arrival, I connected the panel to my Sherpa 100AC. The solar panel worked fenomenal, it was a full sunny day, and I was able to obtain 52 watts (for a panel that was rated up to 50 watts). During overcast days I was able to get up to 42 watts from the panel, which imo it is still very good. The panel is more expensive than similar solar panels, but the quality and workmanship is second to none!

Practical way to capture energy for your devices. I use it it carry a Sherpa 100AC. It is useful to have it during an emergency. I would like to have smaller but same powerful version of this solar panel to carry in your backpack.

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

Solid investment. Attaches nicely to my smaller solar panels easily and makes setting up for the sun effortless.
