Touted as a high performance machine anker s panels have often been among our winners earning that spot mostly for their reliable high quality manufacturing.
I purchased the anker powerport 21 watt and aukey 20 watt portable solar chargers within the last week.
This aside the anker 15w is still an incredible panel that continues to perform and impress among this year s contenders.
It consists of three fold out solar panels with a combined output of 21w.
This panel has been a shining star in past years of solar panel testing only to be outshined this year by its more powerful cousin the anker powerport.
The nekteck solar charger is nearly as efficient as our top pick the anker powerport while its price tag makes it a budget option.

I purchased the 21w anker solar panel from amazon a little over 2 years ago during which time i only used the panel 12 15 times due to the issues i experienced with it.
At roughly 11 x 6 inches weighing only 15 ounces and priced under 100 this is a device that won t break the bank or add a lot of.
This charger does not include a battery so its lightweight at just 18 ounces and very portable.
