This solar charger folds into a very compact size with a strong built-in carrying handle. The 4 reinforced eyes make it easy to attach tent or Camper. It has two fold-away stands for an optimum angle to the sun. The 2 x USB charging ports and 12V/18V are protected by the waterproof zipped pocket, large enough to hold power banks whilst charging. Once opened in direct light it will automatically start producing power, to store in a power bank or direct charge to a device.
The MSC 45W SunPower fold-out high-efficiency solar chargers are designed to either be used on their own to charge 2 devices (mobile phones/Laptops/Battery) when in direct light or in conjunction with one of our power banks, such as the MSC 155Wh, MSC 350Wh to store reserve power for later use. This very compact 6 x panel folding solar charger is ideal for Camping, Expeditions and Boats. The hard-wired lead will also directly charge our MSC 570W/350W Power Banks.
With its high-efficiency panel and intelligent solar controller, it is still able to directly charge an iPad or any USB device and Laptop, even in poor light conditions.
Tested this out for the first time on my allotment, with a basic Duracell 10,050 mAh USB Power Bank. The power bank started out half charged, and the panel charged it back to full in a couple of hours - probably less, as I wasn't sitting watching it. This was a sunny morning in late March. Very impressed.

I see there are a number of reviews in exotic places for this equipment.
A little closer to home, I have used MSC products here in the UK for the last few years to support my off grid South African trailers (I am the sole importer).
Having attended a number of shows, along with personal trips to West Wales (not going to say where exactly, as it is so peaceful and sublime...), North Cornwall, Scotland and so on, all I can say is these solar panels supported my electrical requirements completely, from a combined fridge freezer (fridge to 2 Celsius, freezer down to minus 20), lighting and sufficient reserve for charging ancillaries (Phones, tablets, etc.
In short, as a qualified engineer, I understand the principles of solar charging but there are so many inferior products in the market that lead to a misunderstanding of this sustainable concept.
Fortunately, MSC products are, in my opinion, head and shoulders above the market, with quality products throughout the range. Furthermore, support and advice from Tim is second to none, old school service.
I can also endorse their power banks, having had a number of these for the last few years. As a for instance, their jump starter jump started a 3 litre diesel just before Xmas despite not being charged all year! Still had 80% capacity.
In essence and to summarise, top quality at a fair price and excellent old school advice and support.
