Cons
The solar charger, powergreen 21w portable foldable solar panel with 2 USB ports has many great features and though everything about it is beneficial, there are just a few points that were mentioned by some customers as potential inconveniences.
- As with any solar charging unit, this solar charger requires sunlight in order to do it’s job. Some users have reported that it only works in direct sunlight and that it hardly works when there is cloud cover, but that is to be expected.
- The solar charger, powergreen 21w portable foldable solar panel with 2 USB ports does not have a built in rechargeable battery pack. A built in battery pack would help to fix the problem of not having power when there is no sunshine. However, as there are two USB ports, one could charge one device and a separate battery pack at the same time. The battery pack could then be used at a later time when the charger wouldn’t work, such as at night or when it is raining.
