Biolite Solar Panel Review

3 0 out of 5 stars they work but for how long.

Biolite solar panel review.

The panel is made using a monocrystaline cell type to convert the rays to usable power. To use the biolite solarpanel 5 it needs to be placed with the shadow from the sun dial in the middle of the cross hair. They worked good in short simple tests of charging and recharging before passing them on. Im so excited to use ot especially here in our tropical country.

Best solar panel for for charging. At only 80 retail the biolite solar panel 5 is also quite affordable. Reviewed in the united states on august 5 2016 i bought two of these for my kids. Recently purchased this solar panel for our hunting trip this year.

They worked good in short simple tests of charging and recharging before passing them on. The biolite solarpanel 10 solar panel surface has a dimpled and matte like protective finish that is scratch resistant and rugged. If you do buy one you have to charge it via ac power for about 12hrs before using it. One of biolite s best solar panel with sundial.

I have just about every product they make except for the kettlepot and now this solar panel. When you move the panel to change the angle of the panel to best match the sun the shadow moves. Was surprised how well it kept my phone charged as we were hunting in the back country. The biolite 10 is a durable well made panel that charges devices quickly and effectively.

This is a unique feature that many of the other panels in this review do not have. And its light and sturdy. It especially shines when it comes to charge interruption recovery since it has a built in 3 000mah battery which regulates the amount of charge delivered to the devices. Let me start by saying biolite makes some great products.

The built in batteries are fairly limited in capacity but are a negligible weight gain of two ounces over the solarpanel 5 which is essentially the same except no battery. The sundial and kickstand are great features. A solar panel is a great choice and is actually lighter than my portable battery pack. Aligning the panel in directly perpendicular rays from the sun or light source will ensure optimal charge.

Reviewed in the united states on august 5 2016 i bought two of these for my kids. The biolite solarpanel 5 is a cleverly designed portable solar panel that works well for its rated output. I bought it in hopes of it working like advertised but it just isn t worth the money.
