The BigBlue 28W USB Solar Charger is widely hailed as one of the best solar chargers on the market. It has one of the highest power outputs, is competitively priced, and though it’s nearly 3 feet long when unfurled, it folds down to a lightweight, compact size that won’t take up much real estate in your knapsack.

It doesn’t include a battery, so you will have to connect your phone to it during the daytime (or use a power bank), but it does include three USB ports so you can connect multiple devices while the sun is out. And with four panels, you can be sure it will soak up as much sunlight as possible.

Key Specs

• Dimensions: 5.9 x 3.1 x 0.9 inches
• Ports: One 2.1-amp USB-A and one 2.1-amp USB-C
• Weight: 10 ounces

Generally available for under $30, the Blavor Solar Bank is one of the cheapest solar-powered phone chargers on the market. And for that price, you get Qi wireless charging, USB-A and USB-C ports, and a dual flashlight.

However, the Blavor’s solar cell capabilities leave a lot to be desired. As such, you’ll want to make sure its 10,000 mAh battery is fully charged before you head out into the wilderness, as it will take a few days to charge it back up via the sun.
