Even in cloudy conditions, Spectre provides consistent power, and the built-in Sun Efficiency Meter helps you optimise charging by arranging the panel to get the best charge for your device.

Feather-Light & Adventure-Ready

Designed for easy storage and quick setup, the Spectre folds down to just 4 cm thick and can be snap-clipped closed so it is securely stored. The Spectre 18W Solar Panel features a durable ripstop nylon covering with 360-degree MOLLE latch points, allowing secure attachment to your backpack or other gear for charging on the go. The adjustable kickstand (included) boosts solar efficiency by up to 25% by finding the optimal angle out of three set angles for the best sun exposure.
