Customer Reviews for Goal Zero - Nomad 50 Portable Solar Panel - Black
Posted by: Ileana
Verified Purchase:Yes
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great panel

I used this for 9 days in May in a range of clear sky, cloudy, and overcast days charging a Yetti 150 and powering a Dometic CRF75. Chained with a Nomad 28, I had more than enough power! High quality, stows nicely, well protected when folded. It was rained on 5 of 9 days without a problem. It got very dusty but cleaned up nicely at home. I really like GZ products - they are more expensive but are great quality.

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.

I spent a couple of months in Africa while those around me struggled with inconsistent power supplies, I continued to work using the Nomad 50 coupled with the Sherpa 100 AC. when the power would go down my phone, computer and internet puck kept on going and I didn’t have damaged equipment due to due to power surges.

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.

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

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.
