SolarSaga 40 Mini Portable Solar Panel

Very satisfied with purchase, charges up fairly quickly

This is a well made unit, and has lots of carefully thought out details, like the way the sections clip together when they're not in use, and the waterproof cap for the socket. Instead of USB ports on the panel, there's an external connection block with USB a and c, and DC out. This adds bulk, but does mean that the panel which is waterproof can be left outside, and the delicate USB ports placed in a sheltered location. My minor gripe is the DC connection is not the right one for Jackery Explorer 240, however Jackery customer services were kindly able to send me the appropriate adapter. In terms out output, the panel is rated at 40 watts. The best I was able to measure on the DC input to a power station was 28 watts in the English midday summer sun. Output on USB was somewhat less, due to the limitations of the USB implementation. It is worth pointing out that this isn't really the unit aimed at charging power stations. However, as a very portable method to keeping usb power banks and devices changed it's great. Cost is an consideration. It's noticeably more expensive than units of similar power, although customer service is great, the build quality is excellent and it has useful features which justify the expense. For the same budget you could buy a higher output model, but it would be less portable.

Very good quality and works well as described. Would buy again.

This is a well made, long lasting and guaranteed solar panel of 40w but in reality more like 30w in the UK, hence I join 2 SolarSaga 40 panels together with a Y lead to get 60w to 80w weather permitting. I find 2 panels are light enough to put in a rucksack with a E100+ E240v2 or E300+ maximum due to weight and size. Due to smaller height the panel can be propped up against a chair of simply against it bag/unit angled at the sun !

Can’t beat a jackery for the van and you certainly don’t need the big expensive ones this and the 250v jackery do me for a couple days at a time and run all my electrical needs usb charging etc great company great products highly recommend!

I’m not sure when 40w is supposed to happen, but it certainly didn’t happen for me. On a sunny September day the panel was incapable of enough power reach the “minimum charging power” for my Jackery power bank. I had a back and forth with Jackery support who told me this and as a result I returned it as it isn’t remotely fit for purpose in uk weather. My phone did register as charging when I plugged that it, but this panel is way too big and expensive as a phone charger. I seriously doubt that the panel would ever reach 40w in the UK and having a panel that only reaches the “minimum charging power” for a Jackery power bank for a short window around the summer solstice is pointless for my planned use.

Works really well in intense sunlight

Description is wrong, does not have any output for USBC or USBA so cannot charge device direct. Another reviewer mentioned an adaptor that comes with it, but mine did not and it’s not on the contents listing either, photo implies USBC and USBA output are on device - Beware

J'avais commencé par acheter un panneau solaire de 20w, j'ai vite était déçu car souvent on ne dépasse pas la moitié de la capacité. Avec celui-ci et avec mon generateur de jackery e100+ j'ai réussi à monter jusqu’à 32w toute une après-midi. Je trouve qu'il est quand même bien imposant mais il fait bien le travail. Quand je pars en vadrouille je le prends toujours avec moi/

Se nota que es de buena calidad

El producto es bueno pero debería aclarar que para todos los equipos Jackery no funcionan me siento engañado con un producto que no lo voy a rendir porque el panel es 40w y necesito 100w me lo iba a comprar pero as un no me an devuelto ni un céntimo y me gasté para el franqueo 39 € ojo al comprarlo le saldrá carísimo como a mí y sin producto ni devolución

Très bon produit, recharge bien mon iphone, iPad Pro, AirPod, lampes… avec un soleil d’hiver.Dommage qu’il n’y a pas un port supplémentaire USB-C. En moyenne 4H pour un iPhone 15.

No funciona, lleva dos días a plano sol y nada de nada. Lo quiero devolver pero me indica que tengo que hacerme cargo yo de los gastos de envío a pesar de que en las condiciones pone que en caso de defecto es el vendedor el que se hace cargo. H puesto una reclamación pero ya han pasado tres días y el vendedor no se ha puesto en contacto conmigo. Mal trato al cliente.
