Anker Solar Panel Charger – 14W Foldable Dual-port Solar Charger

‘PowerIQ technology detects your device for fastest charge.’

Amazon’s own Anker brand solar panel is one hell of a piece of kit. It’s not small, measuring almost 12 inches x 7 inches, but at 14W, it’s powerful enough to charge most devices, phones and tablets in a jiffy.

Those measurements are when the panel is folded; unfolded the Anker Solar Panel Charger is a sizeable beast at over 30 inches long, so you’ll need space, but if serious portable power is what you’re after, then the Anker is for you.
