Finally there are some sunny days, can't wait to test out my solar panel charger bought on amazon.it.
Two USB ports support two devices charging at the same time, but I doubt if there's enough sunlight to power two chargings together. Tried this morning, one was charging, another one didn't charge.
But if you just charge on device it's working pretty well, under direct sunlight. I put the panels in front of office window(inside, so there's the window glass slightly weaken the power), expanded it, make sure it has maximized exposing area, then just wait. For a big screen smartphone it took quite a while to fully charge from about 45% to 100%, yet for my small screen, simple Nokia basic smartphone, it took relatively short time to fully charge.
So this morning I powered three phones with solar energy, feeling very proud : ) If it's good weather, I'll charge my phone everyday during day time only, with solar panel!
Obviously the shortage is that you can't store the energy, so you either happen to need to charge when there's sun, or you just can't do anything with the panel. Therefore highly recommend you to purchase a battery to store the energy, this way you can just leave the panel somewhere in the day time to charge the battery, then you can freely choose when and what to charge with the battery.
Awesome experience.
Here is a link to the Anker shop on Amazon.it www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00IPBH5AO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The price is almost 60 Euro, really expensive, for merely a phone or tablet charger. But someday, technology will bring us way farther than this. We'll have portable solar panel charger with cheap battery that can practically charge any household electric applications. A charger for phone like this would cost only 6 Euro instead of 60 Euro in 20 years.
All the best wishes to green energy development and human future.
