> 3 dayThis panel is great while camping. I used it for camping and it was great. You need patience because the sun charges as fast as it is clear. There are connectors for different items. I recommend a higher panel if you can afford it.

> 3 dayI need to re-charge my Jackery 160 battery every few days to run my C-pap machine while we are boondock camping. I just pop it out in the sun in the morning, and its fuly re-charged in bright sunlight in 4-5 hours. If its cloudy, it can a little longer. Great product!

> 3 dayNeed these to charge the Jackery. Worked well on a sunny day. They are not to be out in the rain, per Jackery - plus they are covered in cloth. Not heavy and they have a good handle, so easy to carry. Have a zippered bag to store cords. A little too expensive, but all Jackery is overpriced.

Greater than one weekI bought this with a Jackary 240 this winter and love the 240, but am not thrilled with the Solarsaga 60. When first used in best sun it made 46 watts charging. After that it usually only charges at 40 watts, even in great sun. I have tried angling it, but still cannot get more than 40 to 42 watts now. During its first use several of the solar cells discolored and became lightened. I sent an email to Jackary, but they have not responded. Many people on the Internet say that Jackary does not have the service after sale they once had. This should be sold as a 40 watt solar panel, not a 60 watt !

> 3 dayI can safely say that once you are in the Jackery family you will be hooked and looking for the next addition to it! So when they came out with the new 60 watt solar panel I was very excited to get my hands on one. I’ve had some time to test mine out now and a really like it. I was amazed by how small it was when I pulled it out of the box! It’s 11” x 16” and only a half inch thick all folded up. It’s tri-folded with snaps to keep it together and has a pocket on one side for the 8 foot cable that comes with it. Everything is very self contained and even has a built in handle for carrying. I tested it out for several days and found that even though it’s rated for up to 60 Watts it mostly put out a steady 36 - 38 Watts with occasional spikes into the 50 and 60 Watt range. I’m in New England and we aren’t into the brightest days of the year yet so that output may change. However even at 36 - 38 Watts it manages to charge up at a reasonable speed. The regular wall charger only sends out 41 Watts so the solar panel is not far behind in output. The manual says to be careful how you clean it (use a soft cloth) and to not let it get wet. I found that that is true with the cleaning. You don’t want to scratch up the panels or you will impact your output. And you will want to make sure it’s put away if you think a storm is going to come through overnight. All in all, I’m really happy with this product and look forward to putting it to good use! It is incredibly portable and will do a good job at keeping your Jackery battery packs fully charged! I’m a big solar power fan and this little setup of the 60 Watt Solar Panel and Jackery 160 is a great tool to have for whatever adventure your heading out into! Great job Jackery! Keep up the good work! I look forward to what you come out with next!

> 3 daybought during prime day for a good value. Used it a couple times to charge a phone and it works well. Worried about durability long-term with the panels but the setup appears to be as solid as it can be due to the fragility of the panels that can’t really be avoided. Wish the kick stand was a little more sturdy but it does it’s job.

> 3 dayI had this product about two years and it works well as expected. Unfortunately now this solar panel does not charge battery any more, Batter can be charge from wall outlet. This solar panel does not last then it should be.

> 3 dayI ordered this Along with the Jackery 300. Which full Sun it draws in 40 or so amps, plenty to keep it charging while using it to charge our phone and iPads. I would recommend it if your buying a Jackery power unit

> 3 dayDefinitely one of the best panels on the market from a reliable manufacturer. USB-C charging port advantage, however, prefer to have additional standard MC4 connectors for better compatibility.

> 3 dayI decided to pick up this panel because of its simplistic hookup capability to the Jackery power banks. It is nice and portable and features a nice fold-up design with a carrying handle. It has 2 USB and 1 thunderbolt ports on the panel if you need to charge smaller devices on the go and do not want to use your power bank. On clear sunny days the highest output Ive gotten out of this thing was 55W, though typically Ill always get 50-51W which is phenomenal considering its rated for only 60W; Very little loss for a panel. However, should even a small cloud pass the sun itll drop to around 20-25W, and if you were to block even a single tile of the panel with the shadow of your hand, you will get the same results. So if youre looking to use this for your Explorer power banks, expect to only get good mileage only when you have direct and uninterrupted sunlight. If you just need to charge a cell phone or some other USB device directly from the panel, youll be just fine even in less than optimal conditions.
