This might help.

Solar Panel for backpack hunting

Can anyone recommend a bomb-proof simple and lightweight solar panel system for backcountry hunting? I am not familiar enough with it to really know the ins and outs and who makes a good product. There is a lot of stuff out there but figured folks here could tell me what's garbage and what's...

I dunno man, I tried to like a goal zero 7 watt panel and it’s 4 AA battery bank. Just not enough juice for me. An anker batt pack fully charged(20k mah) really works well for several days. Mebbe they have gotten better, but 7 watts of solar is just not much. Any solar is going to have to be in direct sun at the right angle all day to get max output.

Probably a great battery, but I don’t see that 1/4 watt panel doing much of a charge. I’ve never tried one, but I have pretty extensive experience setting up solar to charge battery banks.

I think the solar part of the power bank is mainly for emergencies. My brother has one but it work take forever in direct sunlight if he wanted to use it for charging as well.

Define lightweight. I know the Goal Zero Nomad 7 and switch 10 battery pack weighs in at 16oz. Aside from what people say, it works fine.
