    Bosch Solar Charging

    I just received the P3Solar charger in the mail today, and thought I'd share my initial impressions. The material is definitely thinner and lighter than the MiaSole charger (my p3-125w weighs 3.5lbs or 1.59kg, which is less than webcurl's one). However, it seems rough around the edges. It...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Sunpower makes the panels themselves, which are being used in foldables by many brands. However, they are not thin-film solar, so they weigh more, are typically larger, will break if dropped or mistreated and have poor performance in low light and in partial shading conditions

    Bosch Solar Charging

    All solar chargers need to be tilted towards the sun at a 90 degree angle to get the best results, but generally with these blanket chargers you don’t do that (just lay them flat and accept less power generation). 114W is excellent and what I’d expect in best case conditions. However, I expect...

    Indeed! I spent roughly $1000 CAD for that P3-125W and I haven't seen the customs charge yet. It will be my most expensive charger. I ordered it in the Multicam fabric from CaliforniaPC.

    Just thought I'd share a little comparison between the: BJCS-108: 108W CIGS Foldable Solar Charger (https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...21037a4fvrTz1U) FM16-3600LTMC: 60W Amorphous-Silicon Solar Charger (Lightweight version)...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Webcurl, how do you like your P3 125W solar charger? I was seriously considering purchasing that one myself. However, the output voltage was outside the accepted range of my peripheral devices. I don't have an e-bike, but my solar setup is an Omnicharge Ultimate Li-Ion battery bank w/ built-in...
