The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Photon from Sunslice is a foldable solar panel with a 4000 mAh storage battery. It's a pocket-sized model with 4 watts of solar power. It is equipped with high-efficiency monocrystalline solar technology with contacts, achieving up to 24% efficiency. For example, it can recharge a phone in 3 hours.
Its built-in Li-Ion battery can be recharged either from the sun (around 5 hours in direct sunlight), or from the mains via the USB-C plug (1 hour). 4 blue LEDs indicate the battery's charge status. A small emergency light is built in, with a battery life of up to 180 hours.
The panel has a female USB-A socket, so you can connect any small device: an external battery, a phone, a reading light, a headlamp, a GPS, a connected watch, etc. Two universal 3-in-1 cables are included, one mini and one long, with different connectors: USB-C, micro USB and Lightning (for Appel).
The Photon solar panel folds away into an elegant case made from eco-friendly, biodegradable imitation leather. It has 2 attachment points, so you can easily attach it to the back of a rucksack or the luggage rack of a bicycle, etc.
The Photon is water, shock and scratch resistant.
