Minimal documentation, super simple
This panel is so cool! I have had several small panels that were basically novelty items, but this one actually charges stuff, lol. I even put it in my window and have been able to charge small household devices, in Oregon, in December! It isn't very fast and the hours of exposure are limited, but it works.
The panel is super light and it's feasible that you might actually carry this in or on a backpack. It's easy and quick to fold and stow.
The panel comes in a cardboard box with no manual or anything, just the general directions on the back of the box. It only comes with carabiners. I have no idea what kind of cable or situation I'm supposed to set up to charge anything that isn't USB. There's just a barrel-type DC outlet with no info. All my large-capacity emergency power banks are charged by AC wall plugs so I can't use this panel with those (yet). I have to figure that out, and I'm kind of annoyed that they haven't provided better guidance about it. The images on the listing say to use a "3 in one cable" which is nearly meaningless. They could have printed more info and saved me (and other noobs) a lot of time. But the USB ports are dead simple so they almost make up for it.
Anyway I'm really stoked and can't wait to take this panel camping. I will update with whatever I figure out about the cables and DC power.
