A solid and well-built portable solar panel.
Goal Zero says:
Charge a wide range of small to medium size devices from the sun with this 20 watt foldable solar panel. The Nomad 20 features our new solar charger design, durable enough to last through any adventure and sleek enough to fit in any pack or bag. Includes integrated cable storage, built-in Flip dock, and adjustable kickstand.
Our Verdict
This is a fantastic solar panel to use around camp, at the beach or a festival. I suggest that rather than plugging a phone into the solar panel, use the Nomad 20 to charge a power bank, then use your power bank to charge your phone, headtorch satellite communications device etc.
