Overview

The iTechworld 20W compact solar panel is perfect for charging phones, cameras, battery banks, sat navs, and other USB-powered devices. Extremely compact and easy to use with its plug-and-play USB system. Equipped with two USB ports (1 x USB and 1 USB-C port) meaning you can charge 2 devices at the same time. Using the 20W solar panel is extremely easy. It really is as simple as opening the solar panel, facing it towards the sun, and then plugging in your USB device to start charging. Designed and developed in Perth, Western Australia, the 20W solar panel is fit for purpose and stands up to the harsh Australian conditions.

Great for outdoor hiking, riding, travelling, etc. Great for camping, it is convenient, environmentally friendly and safe to maintain your battery.

This product is designed to be hung on any kind of bag/backpack or set up on the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 20W Solar Blanket Compact

What kind of weather conditions can this 20W solar panel withstand due to its ETFE Raptor Skin lamination?

Raptor Skin lamination provides UV resistance, durability and protection from light surface abrasion and moisture, making it suitable for harsh sun, rain and outdoor exposure.

How does the 600D ballistic nylon material contribute to the durability of the solar panel during outdoor activities?

600D ballistic nylon is a tough fabric that resists tearing, abrasion and wear from friction, protecting the panel when folded, transported or dragged over surfaces.

Can the 20W solar panel effectively charge both a phone and a camera simultaneously using the two USB ports?

Yes. The panel is equipped with two USB ports (USB, USB-C), allowing two devices to charge at once.

How does the performance of the monocrystalline cells in this panel compare to other types of solar cells in similar products?

Monocrystalline cells are generally more efficient and better in low-light conditions than polycrystalline or thin-film types, so this 20W solar panel offers better efficiency per area and better performance in low-light conditions.

Is there an optimal angle or position to set up the solar panel for the best charging efficiency?

Yes. The solar panel should face the sun directly and be oriented to minimise shading; adjusting the angle throughout the day will improve power yield.

Can the solar panel still charge devices on cloudy days, and if so, how does the charging speed compare to sunny conditions?

Yes. It is 'shade-tolerant', meaning it can still produce usable output under cloudier skies, but its charging speed will be much slower than when compared to full sun.

How does the power tolerance of ±5% affect the actual charging performance in different environments?

With ±5% tolerance, actual output may be slightly above or below the rated 20W. In ideal conditions, you might get up to ~20W, and in worse conditions, somewhat less.

What is the expected lifespan of the solar cells, and how does the lamination protect them over time?

A-grade monocrystalline cells with durable lamination like Raptor Skin can typically last for over twenty years.

Can the 20W solar panel be used safely in extremely high or low temperatures, given its operating temperature range?

Yes. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, meaning it's designed to function safely across extreme outdoor conditions.

How does the weight of 650g impact its portability for activities like hiking or backpacking?

At 650g, it's light enough to be practical for hiking or backpacking, striking a balance between weight and output.

What are the advantages of having both USB and USB-C ports in terms of device compatibility and charging speed?

Having both USB and USB-C ports means you can charge a wider range of devices than if you only had one type.

Are there any recommended maintenance tips to ensure the solar panel continues to function optimally in harsh conditions?

Regularly clean the surface with fresh water and mild soap to remove dust, salt and grime. Don't fold or store the 20W solar panel while wet and inspect the fabric/laminate edges for wear or peeling over time.

Bushwalking Power Source
For bushwalking weight is obviously one of the primary factors for the choice of any gear. At 600g this is not the lightest 20W panel around, however when power is critical, as it is on the Larapinta (to run phone for maps / camera, and satellite emergency communication), function in this case trumps absolute weight. For this reason I rate the iTechworld 5 stars. I was able to get into camp at 2-3.00 pm and set up the panel at a good clear angle and on one occasion added 60% charge to my iPhone 16. If travelling anywhere with good sun and time enough in the day to set up, definitely worth its weight.

Survived Mongolia trekking
I just dragged two of these panels through the Altai Mountains in Mongolia for a fortnight, and they kept my gear charged the whole time. I joined them together to double up the charging power, so it was pretty quick for a small product. The panels were a bit too cumbersome to attach to my pack, but light enough at less than a kilo, so I could whip them out to use during stops. Definitely recommend for remote travel. Resilient and good value for money.

I live in Sydney and purchased two units is this 20w portable solar blankets. They arrived very quickly.
It has two USB ports which makes this product stand out from the rest.
It is simpler to use.
I use them to recharge my power banks (some 20000 mah for normal use - mobile phones, tablets, desk lamps... and some 25000 mah special ones for laptops)
Its USB C port can charge a 25000 mah (100watt power) laptop power bank from half capacity to full within 3 to 4 hours, which is quite impressive.
This is an excellent solar blanket 👍👍
