Rockpals Solar Panel Charger

The Rockpals 100W panel is primarily designed to charge USB devices and portable power stations. While it includes multiple adapters for compatibility, it does not provide the specific voltage required to charge most laptops directly; you should use it to charge a compatible power station first.

The panel is constructed with water-resistant Oxford cloth, which protects it from light splashes or damp conditions. However, it is not fully waterproof or submersible, so you should bring it inside during heavy rain or storms to prevent damage to the internal electronics.

The smart IC chip automatically detects the power requirements of your connected device and adjusts the output accordingly. This ensures your phone or tablet receives the fastest, safest charge possible while protecting against overcharging.

Solar panels require direct sunlight to reach their peak 100W output. While the panel will still generate some power in overcast conditions, the charging speed will be significantly reduced compared to a clear, sunny day.

The unit includes a variety of DC adapters designed to fit most popular power stations on the market. Before purchasing, verify that your power station accepts an input voltage range of 16-18V to ensure compatibility.

At 10.8 lbs, this panel is better suited for base-camp setups, car camping, or short treks rather than long-distance backpacking. Its foldable design makes it easy to stow in a trunk or gear bag, but it is substantial enough that you will notice the weight on a long hike.
