Why We Like The Biolite 100 Solar Panel

Ready to power our weekend camping trips, the BioLite SolarPanel 100 is a foldable, 100-watt solar panel. It's designed to charge our devices directly via USB-A and USB-C PD Ports or to pair with the BioLite BaseCharge Series (sold separately) via HPP Port to turn our portable power station into a solar generator. The Optimal Sun System helps us find direct rays to take the guesswork out of set up, and the foldable kickstand sets up the folding panels easily. We can chain up to four panels to harness the sun and generate up to 400W power (cable sold separately). Weighing less than ten pounds and folding down small, it's easy to pack on the road or store at home when we're not off the grid.

Works well. Output not tested

Day 1: I purchased this panel because I was unable to locate a smaller hand held that seemed to work based on the reviews for charging phones. I decided to go with something larger and chose this 100W panel. I have used it once to charge two phones. February, Oklahoma, 70º. It charged an iPhone XS from 5% to 90% in about 50 minutes. The phone stopped accepting a charge because it got hot. So I switched phones/cables and took another phone increased 20% charge in about 25 minutes. The second phone I placed in the shade. :-) I found the panel easy to set up and the sun dial useful and easy to use. I did adjust the panel to align the sun dial about every 30 minutes. Also, I was in a wooded area so there was some shadow from trees (I'd say ~10% shadow). I only gave it 4 stars because it has 2 USB A ports and a single USB C. In 2024, that is very antiquated. It does pack down nicely and that will be a benefit. It did get hot so I let it cool in the shade before putting it away. Also I will mention, mine arrived with a damaged box. It was dropped on the corner (it's pretty heavy, they say 9.5 lbs but I will say, without the handle, it would be much more difficult). There was no (zero) internal packing (other than a piece of paper covering the panels). I was pretty sure it was going to be damaged but I was not able to visually see any damage. It seems to work fine but I would think some internal packing on the corners is warranted. Since it's a 100W panel with USB C at 45W I would have given it 5 stars if it had 2 45W USB C ports to work simultaneously.
