Who has any history with the SunJack company? I haven't heard of them, or seen them covered in the many "best portable solar panels" articles out there. Personally, I know the 21W Anker portable solar panel is up there among the best. It's a few dollars cheaper currently on Amazon, and would probably be worth looking at if you're im the market and contemplating this unit.

shard_incI think they are used in the Military, and base on my own opinion on pics and videos I seen, their panels are very well constructed and looks more rugged than the usual Anker and similar offerings. I think if you are talking about companies who are really experts on panels, I think gomadic / Instapark looks good. Their offerings are pretty rugged too You can consider panels from EasyAcc ( I am considering these too) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=srs%3D6807741011%26search-alias%3Dspecialty-aps&field-keywords=solar+28w , but if u look closely and compare pics, I feel they came out of the same factory as Anker and similar offerings. And again my personal opinion after reading some reviews, it would be better to charge from the panel to a battery pack, rather than to a phone directly, I ain't no electrical expert, but I feel phone charging is quirky sometimes even off wall outlets, that's why I feel sunjack insists selling their batteries with their panels I guess (but on amazon I spotted them selling their panels only finally). People with bad reviews are often those who charge directly to their devices. . just my 2cents if I am wrong please correct me

shard_incI purchased the 14w version last year (June 2015) and have been happy with the results. It is used primarily on a sailboat during coastal cruises to keep GPS batteries and phones charged. I have also used it on extended backpacking trips for my GPS and camera batteries. I got in on this drop too so I could upgrade to the 20w version that will be devoted to use on the boat with a couple of extra batteries. At some point I will install traditional solar panels on the boat but I like the ease of use of the sun jack and it doesn't get in the way or require any extra attention. I just place it on the deck while we are underway and wait for the battery to charge....... easy peasy.
