The yellow sun is what gives Superman his powers, so it can keep your phone charged while you are on the go. It is almost weird, right? Nature is being used to keep technology working. While the sun is powerful, it won't charge a solar battery bank or phone as quickly as a wall outlet can. You will have to be patient. The old and the new are very similar. If you are camping or dealing with a power outage, you don't have access to an outlet, so grab a solar charge and take advantage of the biggest battery Earth has!
There is power from the sun.
A powerful solar panel is the way to go when you don't want to deal with another battery to get the juice you need. The 515 Solar Panel Charger is made by Anker. The 24W, 3 port, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, solar panel, comes in at just over two pounds and is very thin.
The larger size of the Anker 515 Solar Panel Charger can gather more sunlight to produce more power than a smaller one. It can charge three devices at the same time, and it can charge at up to 12W in direct sunlight, making it about as fast as regular chargers. If you don't have an actual battery, you can just grab it and hit the trails.
Goal Zero makes excellent battery packs and solar accessories. The Nomad 5 is a great way to power up your phone. The Nomad 5 is perfect for outdoor excursions because it is small and lightweight.

The panel is smaller than a piece of paper and comes in at only 12.7oz. Its size and weight mean that you won't have to carry extra weight on a hike. There is a single port that can output up to 5V and 1A, for a maximum of 5W. It is great to keep your phone topped up while you are on the trail, because this isn't going to get your phone powered up fast.
Solar power is versatile.
The only way to refill the power bank of one of the best portable chargers is to use a wall charger. That is where the solar battery pack comes in. When I used it on a recent beach camping trip, the built-in solar panel gave me the ability to charge my battery pack anywhere the sun is shining.
When a wall outlet isn't available to charge the pack, the 5V solar panel can pump out up to 330mAh. There is a flashlight to help you see in the dark. There are two ports for charging devices and a wireless charging pad. If you want to use a wall plug to refill your battery pack, you can use either a microusb orusb-c cable. The Tekpluze has enough power to keep your phone running while you hike.
The Blavor Solar Battery Bank has the on-the-go power you need, but in a more compact package. The sacrifice of capacity is what makes getting a smaller footprint for the pack possible. Depending on your phone, you may only get 1-2 full charges if you have a 10,000mAh cell in the bank.
You can take advantage of the sunshine to bring the power bank back to full. If you want to get your phone back up and running, you will need a wireless charging pad and a power port. Blavor included a dual light to help guide you after the sun goes down.
More power.
If you need more power output than a solar panel can provide and you need more capacity than a battery pack, then you should look for a power station like the Jackery Explorer 300. This has 295Wh and offers a lot of port options to provide clean electricity to your gadgets. It is not likely to be taken hiking with you, coming in at a little over seven pounds.
The Jackery Explorer 300 is more than just capacity and ports. It can power up to 300W of power. The power station is ready to go and has everything from cell phones to fans. You can refill the battery pack using a vehicle, a wall outlet, and of course solar. You will need to buy the panel separately to take advantage of the clean energy option.
Finding ways to power our electronics with clean energy is a great way to help the planet and make for more enjoyable excursions. Taking a solar panel with charging capabilities is a great way to ensure you have portable power without adding too much weight.
The ports allow you to get plenty of power from the solar panel. It may not fit with your lightweight goals, so reach for the Goal Zero Nomad 5 to fill that slot. You can use a solar battery pack when you need power. When the sun comes back out, the built-in solar panel will be able to charge it up.
