Solar panel on sale: Anker PowerPort Solar greatly reduced
Deal-Check: The PowerPort module from Anker currently costs 66.00 euros at Tink – the solar panel has never been so cheap. At other dealers you pay between ten and twenty euros more. The deal is worth it!
Anker PowerPort Solar – foldable solar panel with 21 watts – 66.00 euros at Tink*
Power: 21 watts
Efficiency: 21.5 to 23.5 percent
Output voltage: five volts
Charging current: 3,000 milliamps
Size: 28.2 x 16 centimeters (folded), 28.2 x 67.1 centimeters (opened)
Weight: 417 grams
Attachment: four metal eyelets for carabiners, cable ties, etc.
Note: Price and availability in the shop may vary
When folded, the solar panel measures almost 28 x 16 centimeters, so you can easily stow it in bags or bags. If necessary, you unfold it – then three solar panels convert the sun’s energy into electricity. The efficiency is between 21.5 and 23.5 percent and is therefore comparatively high. You can then tap the power directly for your smartphone, power bank, etc. via the two USB-A ports.
The only drawback: The micro-USB cable included in the scope of delivery is now compatible with just a few devices because USB-C has become the standard for mobile devices. However, this is not a problem if you use your normal mobile phone charging cable or a suitable adapter.
For whom is the mobile solar panel from Anker worthwhile?
If you travel a lot in summer, a mobile solar panel can be worthwhile. For example at the campsite, on the beach, when hiking or at festivals if you don’t always have access to power lines. The panel is lightweight and compact, so it fits in backpacks and bags.

Power to go: With these solar backpacks, you can take care of your smartphone, camera, etc.
However, with the solar panel you are always dependent on good weather. If it’s cloudy or even raining, the PowerPort will only help you to a limited extent. A solar power bank may then be a better choice.
Alternative: power bank with solar module
With a solar power bank, unlike with a panel, you can temporarily store the electricity. For example, you can charge the power bank when the weather is good and use the energy at a later time. A bestseller on Amazon is the model from A Addtop.
This power bank has four fold-out solar modules with an output of five watts. Your smartphones, tablets and co. charge much more slowly here than with the Anker solar panel. Because you can use the electricity here later, you are a bit more flexible. Of course, you can also charge the power bank as normal via the socket without using the solar modules.
