A portable solar charger is used to power your device when you're away from power outlets. We took this into account when we chose to weight direct solar charging speed the heaviest in our testing metrics. It's also no surprise that some of our highest-scoring panels in this metric were chargers with the largest capacity.
Once you get an idea of charging capacity and your intended use for a portable solar charger, it's time to figure out what devices you plan on using. For smaller handheld items such as smartphones, a portable solar charger with five to fifteen watts should suffice.

Compact and lightweight, they’re perfect for camping, travel and emergency use.
