Goal0 12301 Nomad Portable Flexible Solar Panel Review
This is just an awesome portable, flexible solar panel for personal use. The cost is right, the power, and the durability. It’s smaller than comparable units, cranks out the same amount of juice, and it has all the nice accessories, including USB charging port and a port for a 12 volt cigarette adapter. With decent sunlight, this flexible solar panel will charge just about anything smaller than an Ipad. For those who own Iphones and needs lots of juice, this is probably the best, cheapest model that you can buy. Though their website states that the Goal Zero Nomad may not work directly with an Iphone, testimonials say otherwise, with people reporting no problems hooking their Iphones directly into the charging port. If, however, you do run into a problem, you can always just go through a battery charger first and then charge your portable devices.
The only con with this personal solar panel is that it takes a bit of time to warm up. If you hook your phone or other electronic device to it and put the panel out in the sun, it may not start charging for fifteen minutes or so. This makes it a bit difficult for people who are always on the go and thus, need a portable solar panel that works on the go with them. But of the many testimonials I’ve read, the time to start charging is less than 15 minutes, usually around 5 before the trickle of power starts to flow. Still, with a little bit of foresight, you can place the panel out in the sun for a bit before charging to make sure the panel is fully ready for when you need quick power. The Goal0 12301 Nomad has gotten amazing reviews in testimonials. Here’s what one user had to say about it:
Caleb R. Said:
This is bar none the best portable solar charger I’ve come across. It charges basically anything smaller than an iPad. I’ve charged countless toys in little amounts of time during hikes in / or fly fishing. Amazing piece of technology…
