Great Product, excellent quality that delivers

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018

Size: Nomad 14 PlusVerified Purchase

I love spending time outdoors, and this product caught my attention. Whether hiking, fishing, camping, or just walking around town, this item attaches to my backpack and delivers exactly as expected. It does require Sun Light, but I did expect that; cloudy, overcast days will not create a charge. I have had no issues using this product, easy to understand instructions. I can plug it directly into my iPhone or iPad or anything that needs a charge. I purchased this product along with the 2 GOAL ZERO VENTURE 70 power charger. I typically use this to charge one of the power chargers while using the other power charger. Excellent Product

Small and quick charging....still shocked at how good.

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018

Size: Nomad 7 PlusVerified Purchase

I purchased this alternatively to a 14W or 21W version of the competition for one reason only: Efficiency. After doing some research Goal Zero and Suntactics seem to be the only camping panels that clarify what type of cells they use. Which are Microcrystalline Silicone, the highest efficiency cells on the market. So when you see a YouTube video of a 7W Goal Zero panel out performing a 14W competitor, you now know why.

Small test of this in morning sunlight. 4 LEDs glowing. My iPhone 6S charged 3% in 5 minutes! An observation....if you walk in front of this panel while charging your phone, it will automatically stop charging, then restart at some point. So ideally, having a small power bank permanently plugged in is the best route to take, then charge off the bank, not the panel.

This might just be the coolest thing Ive purchased off amazon.

Works really well but only with something to store the charge (my son had one for his). I used it while hiking and plugged my phone directly into it. Then my phone puzzed on/off everytime i came in and out of a shade patch. So never really charged up. Wish i had known so i could have purchased togeter.

Used this solar panel to charge my camping lantern and cell phone. Even in the rain forest with cloudy days, I was able to charge (albeit at a slower rate.) This unit is lightweight and sturdy, as well as waterproof and has a convenient stand. I like the idea that I can charge my phone for free!

Don’t Waste Your Time or Money- Useless

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023

Size: Nomad 7 PlusVerified Purchase

I purchased for use on an 11 day back country pack trip. This solar charger and battery pack were virtually useless. I don’t know if I received two faulty units, but I read the reviews and went with the 7 Plus and Goal Zero Flip 24 battery pack. The 7 Plus would never get all four indicator lights to illuminate regardless of how bright the sun was shining and what angle or position the panels were placed. The battery pack never charged past 2 of four indicator lights, even though there were days when I had three 7 Plus in direct sunlight for over 6-8 hours. There were guys on the trip who had the Nomad Goal 10 and they worked as described. I was left having to ask to charge my phone and gps on other peoples chargers. Would return if I could. This is literally the first time I’ve ever been compelled to leave a review.

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

Size: Nomad 7 PlusVerified Purchase

I brought this on a jungle trek in Peru. I used the two provided caribiners as well as looped some 550cord through the slots along the panel edges to attach this to my hiking bag. It worked so well! Though the sunlight was inconsistent due to my continuous movement, it adequately charged my portable power stick. It was success! The bend in the panels that make it easy to fold actually worked in my favor to capture more light while hiking. I had one panel facing upward on the top of my bag and the second half was secured to the front of my bag. It made it possible to capture uv light from multiple directions since I was consistently on the move. I would spend twice the amount I did now that I know just how excellent this product it!!

90 day review

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2017

Size: Nomad 28 PlusVerified Purchase

Jury is still out, but as of today a three. I have used the panel a few times to recharge various Goal Zero products, (Yeti 400, F30, Lighthouse 400 and Lighthouse 250) and personal devices (iPad and cellphone). The highest reading on the Yeti 400 has been 14 watts on a bright sunny day in the mountains with direct sun. I have reached 4 of 4 blue lights while using the USB charging adapter. So not sure if it is the Yeti or the Nomad that is incorrect in the reading, even after resetting the Yeti 14 of 28 watts and 4 of 4 lights doesn't add it up. I would think the Yeti would be the most accurate, where it is an actual readout.
The kickstand will not support the full panel after it has been in the sun for a while, the panel becomes flimsy. Also, the kickstand fell off of the panel while being used in the sun when the temperature of the day was about 100 degrees. Not only had the kickstand fallen off, but the glue bond had broken on a magnet that holds the kickstand in place. You would think this would be normal usage, in the sun on a hot day.

In Goal Zero's defense I have not taken the Yeti or Panel back to see if there is a problem with either or both of the devices. Only about a two to three hour inconvenience to take the devices in for diagnostics.

Not sure the panel is worth the extra $200 over another non-Goal Zero panel.
