solar panels

[Laura Dimock]

I can't recommend the Sunlinq SL-25 foldable flexible panels.  They're really neat, and the company is helpful, but mine failed in the field despite taking very good care of it.  I think they're too delicate to rely on, and this probably extends to most flexible panels.  In my next trip after that, I brought rigid monocrystalline panels (more watt per area than many other types).  They're heavier, but they were very reliable.

We've been using a solar panel in the field for a number of years for our
laptops, but are looking for a new one.  Are there ones that people recommend?
(Or give a negative recommendation of?)

Thanks,
