Two 100 W folding panels, and a warning: on short, cloudy UK winter days you get a small share of the rated output.

Who it's for

Worth it: if you already own a power station and want to top it up over a long outage, mostly from spring to autumn.

Not worth it: as your only power plan for a winter power cut. Charge the power station from the mains while you can, and keep it topped up.

How we judged

Same rated output, so we compared price and what each plugs into. Check that the panel's plug fits your power station or power bank.

What we didn't check

Real output in UK winter light. Read our post on portable solar panels in a UK winter.

No star ratings: we haven't collected reviews, and we don't show anyone else's. No product can promise to keep you safe.
