Customer Ratings & Reviews

As I drove from California to Texas, I plugged my phone into the sun charger and kept it powered up and charged. Arrived at my destination each night with a fully charged phone after using it all day with Waze to get where I was going, Free energy on my RV dashboard!

Gonna take this camping to charge batteries. So I’ve tested it in the backyard and it has fully changed the batteries. I’m sure I’ll find other uses for it also.

Keeps a phone charged throughout the day or external power battery pack by USB connection. Pretty rugged but has some flaws like plastic coating peeling and corners are a little weak but overall it should last years.

Worked great! I used this to charge my cell phone and flashlight while camping in the High Sierras. I would give it 5 stars if it had the ability to charge more then one device.

This device is perfect for me. I am a car camper and have the capacity for storing this notebook size power bank in just the right niche to grab. The folding design and tilting stand with integrated technology performed very well while on the my trial setup at home and first use on a four day camping excursion along Lake Michigan. If I remember that this is technology and treat it with respect, I can see this Goal Zero solar panel lasting a long while. Check out the website and You Tube videos on tricks and special hacks!

I’ve used different panels and this one is best for durability and portability. As for power output, it’s just fine.

Works as stated. Charges my iPhone SE and my spare USB battery pack both in moderate and full sun light. Will be using it with my Nitecore USB battery charger for my Nikon camera. I plan to buy a second one to chain them together.

I purchased this panel to help cut my electric bill and have a power source while hiking/at the pool or beach. The panel is fairly rugged. I have used it daily since purchasing it in December (it is now 20FEB19). I use it to charge my Note 8 and a Goal Zero Venture 30 battery pack. It charges both quickly and you can monitor this via the four LED indicators that illuminate depending on how much sun it is receiving. I use this to charge my phone or portable speaker while using them at the beach or pool. The panel folds in half, making it easy to pack and hike with. There is also a USB cord and attached leg to prop the panel up to the proper angle for usage. Never any issue with this panel, works every time and is easy to use. I use this in conjunction with the Goal Zero Venture 30 batter pack and another battery daily. We have cut our electric bill $5-10 a month. Not a lot, but nice and we have some backup potential for hurricane season. I highly recommend this if you are into hiking, being outdoors or need a small panel for power outages.

Bought the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Plus for a camping trip. Should have read some reviews as there are plenty around that state it could not charge an iphone not to mention it received a very poor review from outdoor gear lab. For the record it never maintained a consistent 4 LED status which is what is described as providing 5V output and that is what is needed to charge an iphone. I was really only able to consistently maintain a 2 LED light status and this was even with cloudless skies around the Columbia River Valley/Gorge in central WA. As Best Buy only provides a 15 day return policy I was not able to return this product on my return from the trip. I therefore attempted to sell the product on Amazon and received a copyright infringement notice from Amazon via Goal Zero as I stated honestly in my product description that I can only speak for my experience attempting to use the product to charge an iphone and it failed so I would not buy this from me if that is your intended purpose. Not only does the product not work but the company must vigilantly try to snuff out honest reviews and even those attempting to protect future buyers that the product is not capable of providing a consistent 5V output. Buy at your own risk and try to re-sell at your own risk as well. By the way, bought some cheap $39.99 solar panel, just slightly larger than an iphone, half the size of the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Plus, and it has no problem charging an iphone.

Great for cell phone, lantern and all other use . Very durable and well made

Purchased under the impression that it holds a charge as well as work independently but it does not. the package does not say otherwise so after finding out, it was returned.

I do emergency response and power isn't always available was able to plug my phone in and it was charged up and under 2 hours sounds like a long time but we don't have any power at all it's pretty fast

Needed something to keep the cell phone and tablet charged on my week in the wild. Watched the product video online and which showed it would recharge my backup power-pack too and it really does work.

Solid in the sun. Even charges with cloud cover but not at fast. Great for hiking, camping/hunting

Great product to carry with you on outdoor excursions. We used this to charge our phones and tablets while on a two week camping trip. The product worked great so long as you position it to where it’s getting maximum sun exposure.

This solar charger is great for back packing, it’s light and fits easily in my pack!

Very satisfied with this product. I used it for camping.

I like how we can charge your device buy just the Sun they're useful when not near I plugged or Outlit

Excellent foldable solar charger for those on the go. Great for Camping, hiking, biking. All you need is direct sunlight and about three hours it's ready to use.

Seems to work all right but is quite slow. Took all afternoon to charge an Iphone.
