GTIS Power and Communications Systems
Description
What this product does: This solar panel is perfect for quickly charging a Voltaic V88 or Half-Pint system while on the go. On a sunny day it will fully charge either of them in under 2.5 hours. Great for when you haven’t got all day.
Recommended use(s): Traveling with a laptop computer and/or a LED projector.
Advantages of this product: This lightweight, folding solar panel is designed for backpacking or other temporary uses. Some devices can be charged directly from the panel’s built-in dc-dc converter through the USB output ports, however this does not work well for many devices. Use of a power bank like the Voltaic V88 or other battery pack is recommended. The panel has MC-4 compatible connectors on it, and includes an adapter from MC4 to a 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel plug and several other barrel plugs. It plugs directly into a V88 Power Bank.
Disadvantages of this product: This panel is not for permanently mounting outdoors. Light rain shouldn’t bother it, but the USB 5V converter circuitry inside the zippered pouch on the back side of the panel is not waterproof. The canvas cloth will deteriorate over time with exposure to the weather.
Accessories:
- Voltaic V88 Power Bank (power bank for smartphones and laptops)
- Half-Pint Solar Lantern HALFPINT-BP (Village Lighting and power system) Note: ask for an adapter to use the Rockpals panel with a Half-Pint system
Also Available on Amazon: Rockpals 60W
