6W Mini USB Solar Panel, IP67 Waterproof Monocrystalline Module DIY Kit with PET Material for Smart Phone, Small Fans, Monitor, Outdoor Security Camera

Very useful, works even with indirect light

I ordered these solar panels because in the place where I had positioned my new surveillance camera, getting to the charging port would be difficult. A reasonably-priced solar panel would be best. The two panels came with a Y cable that was a USB A type. I ordered a 15 ft. extension cable that was USB A at one end, and male USB C at the other. That way I could spend the time arranging and connecting a cable once, and after that not need to touch the camera.When I plugged in the panels, the camera was at 76% charge. It was an overcast morning, but cleared up a bit. By afternoon the camera reported a 98% charge. Without the panels, I think I would have to charge the camera once a week. Now I doubt I'll ever have to touch it.Alas, last night my wife still had to go out and push a chicken into the coop to close the door, but at least she will know when she DOESN'T have to. It is a kick to watch the girls (chickens) march into the coop of their own accord, just before the door is programmed to close, from the comfort of our own bed.

I initially use this to charge my iPhobe directly, though I kept my phone under the shade behind a patio sofa. However it’s still way too hot for my iPhone and the phone automatically shut down due to overheat.Then I use this to charge an old small power bank than use the power bank to charge my phone.It seems to be working well. However I have no idea about its charging speed and output amperage.Eventually I would like to use this to charge a 10k mah power bank with all kind of protection (over charging, over heat, over current, over voltage with pass-thru charging) then use the power bank to power my outdoor WiFi hose timer with a battery eliminator.

Hooked these up to the mini desk fans in my chicken coop. They work great on sunny days at moving some air around. They don't generate enough electricity to move the fans at high speed but for my purpose they do a good enough job. A longer cord would have been better.

It was trash when it arrived. The plug had a short. Can't use but cost to much to send it back

It was smaller than expected, though it does appear very sturdy compared to other portable ones Ive seen. It's slow to charge even in direct sunlight, and be wary if the sunlight isn't strong it might drain your battery instead. It's nice to have for a sunny day camping but besides that not very practical.

Ive replaced all of the solar panels that come with my ReoLink cameras with these (I have about 6 of these panels deployed). They are so much more reliable and seem to charge faster and more consistently than the product I paid extra for with the cameras. The only disadvantage is that they are just panels, whereas the solar panels designed by/for the cameras have adjustable mounts. Conversely, these have holes in all four corners which give you more flexibility to screw them on a board, a tree or use zip ties on fences and pipes.

I got this to work with my outdoor camera. Works well, easy to install, light weight, good cord length. Durable and has been up for a year and is still working. Happy with my purchase.
