Choosing Power and Portability

Shopping for a solar charger can quickly devolve into wading through specs, but the most important one to pay attention to is the combined output of the solar panels, measured in watts.

This power metric is crucial in determining how quickly you’ll be able to charge devices and how many you can charge at the same time (provided there are multiple ports).

The higher the wattage, the faster the charging times and the more capable the charger will be at powering devices simultaneously. Keep in mind that the advertised wattage is often higher than what’s possible in the field due to variable weather conditions.

A handful of chargers come with a built-in battery for more consistent performance, but many do not. The battery stores energy for charging after the sun goes down or on cloudy days.

Essentially, your charger works as a power bank instead of a direct transfer of energy. These models are more expensive, but it can be a worthwhile investment to gain a bit more independence from the weather.

There are also power banks outfitted with small solar arrays with outputs of five watts or less. Given the size of their batteries, the solar charging feature acts as a backup to the primary charging method: an outlet.
