The charging capabilities and weight are really quite good, but I have a few reservations. This also applies to the power bank from the same brand. The panels close with press studs, while the fold-out stand is done with hook-and-loop fastening, which is noticeably worse. The back of the panels is made of a pleasant-to-the-touch material, but it easily picks up lint and dirt, although this does not affect performance. The display showing the current power output has been placed in such a way that it is practically impossible to read, because it faces the ground or the backpack. In addition, the first panel on the left, when viewed from the front, closes by itself because flexible connections were used instead of something like hinges. In my opinion, this should have been designed differently: the power display should be at the top, even if small, but clearly visible; the USB-A and USB-C ports would be better placed on the side of the panel; the fold-out stand should have the same press stud fastening as the folding panels; and the flexible connections themselves should be replaced with a different, better solution.
28 W solar panel generating clean, renewable and, above all, free energy directly from the sun. It allows efficient charging of various electronic devices. It will come in handy when you are on holiday in your campervan, when camping away from civilisation or at home in the event of a blackout.
Using the panel, you can power up, for example, a smartphone, camera, sports camera or ebook reader. It also has the advantage of being compatible with most Xtorm powerbanks, the charging of which will allow you to use electricity after dark. The model is equipped with 2 FastCharge outputs (USB-C, USB-A), which allow you to charge 2 devices simultaneously.
It is equipped with highly efficient monocrystalline cells generating a current of 28 watts. An integrated LCD display keeps you informed of the panel's performance.
The panel is easy to carry due to its folding design and low weight. The integrated bracket allows any positioning during use. The panels are made of robust ETEF plastic, which protects the batteries from mechanical damage and is splash-proof (IPX4 water resistance).
The system is equipped with temperature control to prevent overheating, protection against overcharging and automatic adjustment of the charging speed to the connected devices.

The solar charger works properly, I tested it at home and it charges similarly to a regular mains charger. I also plan to try it out during a trip, but I don't think I'll be disappointed. I believe this product is worth recommending.
-
For now, I am using the solar mat on my balcony and I am very satisfied. With intense sunlight, it quickly charges my power bank, phone or bicycle navigation. In July, I plan to test it while camping. So far, the purchase has proven to be excellent. I definitely recommend it.
-
The solar panel definitely deserves a recommendation. The quality of workmanship is excellent. The charging process matches the given specifications. On a sunny day, it charged 2500 mAh in two hours. The express delivery within a dozen or so hours also deserves praise.
-
Solid build quality. Allows simultaneous charging of two devices. I searched for a good charger for a long time and this one turned out to be the best among all available. It even works in closed rooms.
-
What I appreciate most is the lightning-fast delivery from Militaria – I ordered one day and had the package the next. I really like the mat itself, it charges the powerbank brilliantly and I've been using it every day since I got it.
-
The solar mat matches the description. In my opinion, the build quality, price and durability are as good as or better than other brands. The display works even under artificial light. Devices can be charged even on fully overcast days and in full sun it charges two at once at maximum power. I definitely recommend this product.
-
The product gives the impression of being solid and aesthetically pleasing. The panel is currently being tested and works flawlessly in various sunlight conditions. It also works when there is less sun.
-
The product is very well made. When folded, it is about the size of A4 paper. The charging current display is on the back of the panel, which makes it difficult to access while charging, but it can still be read. The 10000mAh power bank charged in just under 3 hours on a sunny day, just as the manufacturer claims. I was also able to charge my radio, toothbrush, water flosser, and watch without any problems. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
I think the purchase was a good choice. On sunny days, it charges the powerbank at a current of about 3.7 A. When the phone is connected, fast charging information appears. The charging time is practically the same as with a mains charger.
