I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

Yeah, light in the dark is totally useless.

It was, because I specifically said flashlights you peanut.

A 30W panel isn’t charging much else’s.
