Anker Solar Panel Review

The anker powerport is lightweight and offers high performance.

Anker solar panel review.

Anker produces two high quality usb solar chargers with the same basic design but differing solar conversion rates 14 watts compared to 8 watts. Anker s solar phone charger is able to charge two devices at once using its three high efficiency sunpower solar panels. This charger does not include a battery so its lightweight at just 18 ounces and very portable. They have always produced a well made dependable product.

The test was accomplished on a sunny nearly cloud free afternoon at about 1 30 p m. Touted as a high performance machine anker s panels have often been among our winners earning that spot mostly for their reliable high quality manufacturing. Anker panel solar charger full review dealer. The slightly thicker and heavier 535g 21w anker powerport solar which i took with me offers 2 usb outlets and promises up to 2 4 amp per port or 3 amps overall in translation this makes it especially well suited to quickly charging the likes of an iphone alongside a gps.

It consists of three fold out solar panels with a combined output of 21w. Anker discontinued the powerport lite 15w in april 2018. Both three panel fold outs were arranged in nearly identical positions on a small table in my back yard. I purchased the 21w anker solar panel from amazon a little over 2 years ago during which time i only used the panel 12 15 times due to the issues i experienced with it.

Yet it s by far the largest when unfolded with four fold out solar panels to the x dragon s three the anker and eceen both have just two. At roughly 11 x 6 inches weighing only 15 ounces and priced under 100 this is a device that won t break the bank or add a lot of. This aside the anker 15w is still an incredible panel that continues to perform and impress among this year s contenders. The nekteck solar charger is nearly as efficient as our top pick the anker powerport while its price tag makes it a budget option.

I purchased the anker powerport 21 watt and aukey 20 watt portable solar chargers within the last week. That s where the anker 21w powerport solar charger comes in. Neither was provided in consideration for this review. Amazon 8w amazon 14w.

This panel has been a shining star in past years of solar panel testing only to be outshined this year by its more powerful cousin the anker powerport.
