Goal0 12301 Nomad 7M Solar Panel Review:

The more than ten customers who reviewed this solar panel gave it an average rating of 4.3 stars. Majority of them were satisfied enough to give it a perfect 5.0-star rating.

One buyer who was impressed with this solar panel was happy to see that he could actually charge his iPhone on this panel: an unexpected plus! He actually did not expect that because the company stated that it was safer to buy a battery pack. Strangely, when he plugged his iPhone in, it first gave an error message, but later made the familiar buzzing sound that indicated it was being charged. Other reviewers also felt it was the best portable solar charger available. One of them had reportedly tested every possible lightweight solar charger, and he was impressed with this one. He found that this one, along with the Guide 10 set, was the only one that could work sufficiently for his backpacking needs. He reported that it could charge several electronic items within one day of full sunlight; meanwhile, less sunny situations were also gotten around by its coming with reserve capacity. So far, output-wise, he felt that this was the best among its rivals. Several other reviewers were also impressed with this charging unit, used in backpacking trips. One buyer was surprised that the charger led a battery to full charge from an almost completely dead mode even on a partly cloudy scenario. Even with light cloud coverage, the charger reportedly worked well. It was also commended for being lightweight, measuring only as large as a Kindle 2, which made it very easy to bring around.

One concern that the reviewers had was that the panels were not flexible; as such they could easily break. But some of the reviewers felt that the sturdy casing more than made up for that, giving it the protection it needed.

Overall, we believe your backpacking trips will be made simpler with this solar power gadget. Of course, just be sure to try using it in non-emergency situations first, as you need to make sure the unit actually works before you put it to the actual wilderness test.
