Description

4 Panel Solar Charger

The NESTOUT 4 Panel Solar Charger is a high output portable solar panel designed for camping, overlanding, vanlife, and extended off grid trips. Built by ELECOM, a Japanese consumer goods company known for quality and innovation, the NESTOUT Outdoor Series brings reliable renewable power to your outdoor setup.

This updated version features one USB Type C port and one USB A port, replacing the previous dual USB A configuration to support modern USB C powered devices while maintaining backward compatibility. The high efficiency polymer cell solar panels deliver up to 28W of power at up to 24% conversion efficiency, providing enough output to charge two devices simultaneously with up to 5.6A total current.

The 4 Panel model is ideal for longer trips, larger batteries, or setups where you need to recharge multiple devices throughout the day. Pair the solar charger with any NESTOUT portable battery to create a complete, modular off grid power system. Generate power during the day, store it in a NESTOUT battery, and use it whenever you need it.

Updated USB C and USB A Ports

Now equipped with one USB Type C port and one USB A port for broader device compatibility. Charge newer USB C devices alongside traditional USB A gear without needing adapters. Supports up to 5V/5.6A total output (5V/3.0A max per port).

Built In Digital Ammeter

The LED digital ammeter displays real time charging output so you can monitor performance at a glance. Adjust the panel angle throughout the day to maximize power generation and get the most from available sunlight.

High Output Solar Cells

Features four polymer cell solar panels with up to 24% conversion efficiency, generating a maximum of 28W. Double the output of the 2 Panel model, designed for faster charging and powering more demanding setups.

Wide Angle Adjustable Stand

The included stand adjusts to a wide range of angles to match the position of the sun. Fine tune positioning throughout the day as the sun moves to maintain peak charging performance.

4 Panel Solar Charger FAQs

Find our answers to commonly asked product questions here.

What can the 28W 4 Panel Solar Charger charge?

NESTOUT solar chargers are equipped with high-efficiency panels with 28W capacity, making them suitable for charging a wide range of USB-powered devices.


They are compatible with:
• Smartphones (iPhone, Android)
• Power banks (including all NESTOUT battery packs)
• GPS units
• Headlamps
• Action cameras (e.g., GoPro)
• Bluetooth speakers
• Wireless earbuds and headphones
• Tablets (charging speed may vary)
• E-readers (e.g., Kindle)
• Portable gaming devices (e.g., Nintendo Switch)
• Rechargeable bike lights and camera gear

For best results, we recommend pairing the solar charger with a power bank to store energy and provide a steady charge even when sunlight is intermittent.

How long does the 4 Panel Solar Charger take to charge devices

Charging times can vary based on sunlight conditions and the size of the connected power bank. On a clear, sunny day, NESTOUT 4-panel solar chargers can typically charge:

• 5000mAh battery in ~2 hours and 30 minutes
• 10000mAh battery in ~4 hours and 15 minutes
• 15000mAh battery in ~6 hours and 15 minutes
• Standard smartphone in ~4 hours and 30 minutes

For larger batteries or in partial sunlight, charging may take longer—so we always recommend topping off your gear before heading out.

Is the 4 Panel Solar Panel waterproof or weather resistant?

The panel surface uses a PET coating and the fabric is water repellent repstop nylon so this NESTOUT solar charger is water-resistant and can handle light splashes or moisture from outdoor use. The integrated storage pouch includes waterproof zippers to help protect your devices while charging. However, the charger is not fully waterproof and should not be used in the rain or submerged in water. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

For more information about water-resistance, check out our waterproof vs water-resistant guide.

How do I know if the 4 Panel Solar Charger is charging?

The built-in digital display shows real-time power output in watts, letting you confirm energy generation and optimize panel position.

Does it come with a battery?

No. The solar charger and battery are sold separately. Pair the panel with any NESTOUT outdoor battery (5000mAh, 10000mAh, or 15000mAh) to create a modular off grid power system.

Is the 4 Panel too big for backpacking?

When folded it measures 6.1 x 11.0 x 2.4 in and weighs 2.0 lb. It's packable, but the 2 Panel is the lighter option if weight is your top priority.

How does the 4 Panel compare to the 2 Panel version?

The 4-panel version delivers double the output (28W vs. 14W), faster charging, and more mounting options. The 4 panel solar charger is deal for longer trips and heavier power needs.

For more information about choosing the best solar charger for you, check out our Solar Charger Buying Guide.

Can I charge it while I'm hiking or moving?

Yes, this solar charger includes 6 attachment loops for mounting to your backpack or gear. However, charging is most efficient when stationary and positioned directly toward the sun.
