The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Fusion FLEX 18 from Sunslice is a flexible solar panel. It is an intermediate model in the range, with a solar output of 18 watts. Made from CIGS cells, it offers one of the best performances of any flexible solar panel on the market, with an efficiency of 16.5%. It can recharge a phone in less than 2 hours, for example, or a 10,000 mAh external battery in 2.5 hours, when properly exposed to the sun.
With a surface area of 28.8 x 59 centimetres, this solar panel is only 28.8 x 20 centimetres when folded, less than the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Weighing just 390 grams, it has 4 attachment points, making it easy to attach to the back of a rucksack or the luggage rack of a bicycle, etc.
On the back of the panel you'll find a female USB-A socket and a female USB-C socket, so you can connect any small device: an external battery, a phone, a reading light, a headlamp, a GPS, a connected watch, etc.
The Fusion FLEX 18 is waterproof, unbreakable, shockproof and scratch-resistant.
