Best Lightweight Solar Panel

[100%DIYazCOUES]

I have a little 5w renogy solar panel that weighs only a few ounces and a 5600mah anker battery that I use backpack hunting. Solar panel fully charges the battery during the day,then charge phones at night….. I could run it that way indefinitely. I hunt in Arizona and New Mexico though, so that helps a lot I’m sure

My Big Blue 28W is well reviewed and charges very quickly even when cloudy. I find the smaller solar panels to be really slow. I use the 28W more for canoeing than hiking though as it weighs 25 oz with charging cables. For backpacking up to 7-8 days or so you are better off using careful power management and a 20,000 mili-amp battery pack, IMO.

Like mentioned above, I've been able to get by with 20-30k milli amp battery bank. I do have an anker 15watt solar panel which works well but an extra battery pack isnt much heavier.
