40W Foldable Solar Panel Charger
Power from the sun, no outlet required - built for the ones who actually go.
Your phone dies at the trailhead. Your GPS goes dark on day four. On extended trips, the grid is hours behind you. This 40W solar panel folds down to backpack size and stays tethered to your pack, soaking up sun while you move. Three independent outputs mean you're charging phones, tablets, cameras, and power banks simultaneously-no choosing what dies next.
Where it earns its keep
- Multi-day backcountry trips - solar trickle-charges your power bank and devices while you hike, so you arrive at camp with battery to spare
- Base camp charging - prop it facing south and let it work while you fish, hunt, or break down gear
- Emergency power - when you're far from resupply, solar beats carrying extra batteries
Why it belongs in your kit
- 23% efficiency monocrystalline cells - converts sunlight faster than cheaper panels; works even on hazy days
- Three independent outputs - DC (7-28V/5A), USB-C (5/9/12V 3A), and USB-A QC 3.0 (5/9/12V 3A) charge phones, tablets, cameras, GPS units, and laptops at the same time
- IP65 water resistant - rain, dust, and morning dew won't kill it; built to stay in the field
- 4-fold design with carabiners - clips to your pack and deploys in seconds; no separate stand needed
- Includes 7-in-1 solar connector and 2-in-1 USB cable - covers most gear you own; one less cable to hunt for

On day five of a backcountry trip, when your power bank is half-full and the sun is high, this panel earns its weight. Clip it to your pack, keep moving, and arrive at the next camp with charge to spare.

The panel itself is well-made and charges devices without complaint. My order took longer to arrive than expected, but once I had it, quality is obvious. Used it for a weekend camping trip and it handled keeping my devices powered just fine. Good investment if you need reliable solar charging.
Took this on a two-week campground trip with my family and it kept our portable battery pack topped off the whole time. The weatherproof build is solid, and I appreciated that it didn't take up much space when we packed up camp each morning. Highly recommend for anyone doing longer outdoor stays.
Been using this for weekend hunting trips to keep my headlamp and communication devices charged. The foldable design packs down nicely in my gear bag, and it's held up well through rough handling. Output is consistent even in overcast conditions, which is key when you're relying on it in the field.
Used this on a three-day backpacking trip and it worked great for keeping devices topped off. The connector cables took me a minute to figure out, and I wish the instruction sheet was bigger, but once I got it dialed in it delivered solid power. Would definitely bring it on my next trail adventure.
Took this out to the lake for five days and it performed exactly as advertised. Folded up small in my pack, and the 40W output charged my phone and GPS unit without any issues even on cloudy days. The built-in stand makes positioning it toward the sun super easy.
