Goal zero nomad 10 foldable monocrystalline 10 watt solar panel with usb port portable solar panel backpacking hiking and travel. This makes the nomad plus 28 an excellent option for the sherpa 100ac.

Cloudy overcast days will not create a charge. Features a dynamic auto restart and intelligent electronics that optimize output to match the device to best charge your phone and other usb devices. Nomad 14 plus verified purchase i love spending time outdoors and this product caught my attention. The panel and solar cells on the nomad 7 plus are strikingly durable.

Nomad plus panels are more powerful for use with usb. Our first red flag with this product was that it never got past one led light in. It would also charge a power bank very slow. Both the 14 and the 28 fold up to a 12 1 inches x 7 9 inches roughly the size of a sheet of paper.

Detachable kickstand for modularity and power flow indicator ensure the best solar charging experience. Unfolded the 14 doubles in width while the 28 expands to four times its size. When holding it in your hand it s pretty obvious that the nomad plus isn t an ordinary solar panel. I returned my first nomad 14 because my nomad 7 was charging faster consistently.

Whether hiking fishing camping or just walking around town this item attaches to my backpack and delivers exactly as expected. I read other reviews and it seems there are a lot of problems with these solar panels. Hard to believe but you are better off purchasing a nomad 7 and saving money. We tested the nomad 14 s ability to re establish a charge after shading by covering it from the sun and then removing the shade to see how well the panel performed after this interruption.

It does require sun light but i did expect that. When i exchanged the nomad 14 for a new unit the results were the same. A 28 watt panel reengineered to be lighter and smarter the nomad 28 plus solar panel has the innovative technology to charge usb devices directly from the sun. Top reviews from other countries amazon customer.

The nomad comes with an led indicator to show how much power you re receiving from the sun. The 14 and 28 models have the 8mm solar port capable of outputting 14 and 28 watts. The panel s design and construction are much like that of the renogy 5w but instead of having the cells exposed to the elements at all times the nomad 7 folds in half protecting the panels when the device is not in use.
