Window Solar Charger

love my window solar charger and charge my phone in it every day!!

The window solar charger made for a really cool gift for my tech-savvy husband, and it looks great in our window right above our plants. I use to charge my phone every day!

The panel is extremely light weight and in direct sunlight performs as described. You can charge it through a standard usb and have it pass through to other devices at the same time. Overall I think this panel strikes a good balance between consumer utility, price, size and weight. An essential item for backup and safety.

I've been using this for a few months now, and with the exception of overcast days I've been able to charge my phone exclusively with this charger! I use it with a longer charging cable so I'm able to keep my phone on my nightstand and charge overnight with no issue. I've also used it to charge other smaller devices like a mini bluetooth speaker and a garmin watch. Since this is my only way to access solar right now, it's absolutely perfect for me.

I really like how the panel looks and it works about as well as I expected it to, but every time I plug in a charger to the USB cord, the panel rattles against my window rather loudly and I'm afraid it will break. I also really appreciate how easily I can move the window charger, because the lighting in my house changes day to day, but the clattering is obnoxious and with such thin frames, seems like I could easily damage it. Additionally, I like that the button for indicator lights shuts off without pressure, because I have a solar lantern that loses charge fast and in order to check the charge more charge is drawn since the on/off is the same button and it's hard to tell whether it's actually on or off! I really like this product idea overall, but, similar to other "eco-friendly" products I've purchased, when I received it I was surprised to see that it has the classic "Made in China" label. I guess it's bold of me to assume products like this would be manufactured in the U.S., but if this is to be marketed as a carbon neutral product in manufacturing, it would be beneficial as a consumer to know more details of what the manufacturing process entails. Knowing that manufacturing is cheaper in China often because of less environmental and human safety regulations, it's concerning that information is not easily available on the website. If there are good reasons for manufacturing in China, then just let us know. Thank you!
