The same goes for small portable chargers and battery packs. But what do you do when your battery or power station runs out of juice? You get the Anker 625 Portable Solar Panel charger.<\/p>\n<p>Whether camping, on vacation, living off-grid, or preparing for an emergency, you\u2019ll want a way to recharge your phone, laptop, lights, drone, and more without power from a wall outlet. That\u2019s when the Sun becomes your best friend.<\/p>\n<p>While Anker already offers several portable solar panels, like the smaller 24-watt kit we reviewed earlier this year, those looking for more power will want to consider the Anker 625. These panels can deliver upwards of 100W of power, are relatively portable, take less than 30 seconds to set up, and are ideal to have in an emergency.

It has a durable fabric and plastic design, rugged plastic handles, and magnetic connectors in the grip that keep it shut to protect the panels. Overall, it feels very well-made.<\/p>\n<p>Two storage compartments or zippered pockets are perfect for all your charging cables, portable battery packs, and other gadgets. One closed storage pocket protects your goods, with rugged zippers and all. However, the second storage pocket is a breathable mesh, which houses the solar converter and circuit box. This is likely to ensure it doesn\u2019t overheat and stop charging, thanks to plenty of airflows.<\/p>\n<p>Once you take it out of the box, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s about the size of two large laptops when folded shut. It\u2019s not very small, but it\u2019s thin and reasonably portable. All the kickstands are firmly in place with velcro straps, so it won\u2019t be flopping around until you\u2019re ready to set it up, plug in your stuff, and harness power from the sun.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not much else to it, and that\u2019s a good thing. You have a system that protects the solar panels, two large storage pockets holding the long 3-meter solar charging cable and an adapter for Anker\u2019s powerhouse portable power stations. It\u2019s easy to carry to your car, toss in the back, and head out on an adventure.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setup_and_First_Use\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Setup and First Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138584\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/37288c69.jpg\" alt=\"Anker 625 portable solar panels\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In the box:<\/strong> Anker 625, solar charging cable, XT-60 To DC7909 connector<\/li>\n<li><b>Legs: <\/b>Three adjustable kickstands (the cable storage pouch doubles as a leg)<\/li>\n<li><b>Positioning: <\/b>Easy sun alignment tool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Snap it open, and the Anker 625 unfolds into a four-panel layout with three kickstands. It\u2019ll only take about 30 seconds, and you\u2019ll probably spend more time plugging in cables than on setup. Pop open the kickstands, find a sunny spot, and you\u2019re ready to go. Or, if it\u2019s mid-day and the sun is above you, simply lay it flat.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no built-in battery, though, and it can\u2019t store power. I hooked up my <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anker-Powerhouse-Generator-Flashlight-Emergencies\/dp\/B08LYMJJD5?tag=lsmedia-13354-20\">Anker Powerhouse 800 II<\/a> portable power station and used the sun and panels to charge it. And on another day, I used the Anker 625 to recharge a 20,000 mAh portable power bank.<\/p>\n<p>Each panel is made from a\u00a0CIGS material, a type of thin-film solar material that\u2019s flexible yet durable. Anker says it\u2019s scratch and weather-resistant, an upgrade over earlier models that couldn\u2019t handle the outdoor elements well. I got dust and dirt all over them while camping, which wasn\u2019t a problem.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138587\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5d2144da.jpg\" alt=\"Anker 625 solar panel sun alignment tool\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the middle of the four panels, there\u2019s a small plastic window with a few circles on it. This is a \u201csun alignment tool,\u201d and the little dot will put a shadow on the indicator behind it. If you\u2019re able to get a \u201cbullseye,\u201d it\u2019ll guarantee the fastest charging and the best results, but even when it was off a bit, the panels still offered plenty of power output.<\/p>\n<p>The kickstands aren\u2019t adjustable, so finding the perfect angle can sometimes be challenging. They\u2019re attached on one end, held in place with velcro, and have a strap to fold out to what Anker feels is the ideal angle. I wish those straps were adjustable, like a backpack, to help adjust the angle.<\/p>\n<p>Power stations like the\u00a0Anker 757\u00a0are great, but they\u2019re also big, heavy, and expensive. A solar charger could be all you need if you\u2019re going on a short summer trip. If so, fold it open in seconds, plug in a portable battery or your phone, and you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had other solar panels overheat while sitting in the hot 109-degree Las Vegas sun while serving me up battery power, but I didn\u2019t experience any problems with the Anker 625. It never once stopped outputting power, even on cloudy days. I\u2019ll try it again when the temps warm up.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Generation_and_Charging\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Power Generation and Charging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138771\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5c4e3a8a.jpg\" alt=\"Anker 625 solar panel charging at 97W.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><b>Solar power input:<\/b> 100W<\/li>\n<li><strong>Charging Output:<\/strong>\u00a015W\/<span class=\"a-text-bold\">USB,<\/span>\u00a012W\/<span class=\"a-text-bold\">USB-A and USB-C, total output:\u00a0<\/span>15W Max<\/li>\n<li><strong>Efficiency:<\/strong> 23%, even on cloudy days<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operating Temperature:<\/strong>\u00a0-4\u00b0F through 140\u00b0F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Anker 625 portable solar panels are fairly lightweight and easy to set up, but how well did it charge my gadgets? Well, that depends on how much sunlight is available and not covered by clouds.<\/p>\n<p>I was very surprised that it instantly worked as advertised in terms of power generation. The first time I opened it up and hooked up a power station, it was pulling 97W of power from the sun and recharging a big Anker power station. You can see that number in the top left corner of the image above.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are too many variables to say how <em>fast<\/em> it\u2019ll charge any device between the angle, sunlight, and clouds. However, from what I saw, the Anker 625 solar panels can fully charge my <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anker-Powerhouse-Generator-Flashlight-Emergencies\/dp\/B08LYMJJD5?tag=lsmedia-13354-20\">Anker Powerhouse 545 (500W)<\/a> power station in around 6 hours. It\u2019s not delivering 100W constantly, so your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n<p>The second time I used the Anker 625 solar panel was on a cold, cloudy, windy, 54-degree day here in Las Vegas. Even with a ton of clouds, it delivered around 55-73W of power to my power bank. That\u2019s better than I expected.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138586\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/e8a62aa5.jpg\" alt=\"Anker solar panel pockets.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther\/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next, I tried charging my <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anker-PowerCore-Essential-Portable-High-Capacity\/dp\/B07SQ5MQ6K?tag=lsmedia-13354-20\">Anker 20,000mAh portable battery<\/a> bank via the USB-C output on the solar panels. After about an hour, it went from completely dead to nearly 50% or two out of four bars. And while that\u2019s not crazy fast, that\u2019s enough to charge two smartphones fully.<\/p>\n<p>Use solar panels like the Anker 625 to charge your portable battery, then top off all your gadgets each night after the sun goes down.\u00a0When you\u2019re off the grid and don\u2019t have a power source, this will certainly give you enough juice to charge a phone, lanterns, or other gadgets. And if you\u2019re camping, charge something like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Anker-A1770-Powerhouse\/dp\/B099Z2RDS5?tag=lsmedia-13354-20\">Anker 757 electric generator<\/a> all day, then use it at night to run everything in your van, from a TV, fans, mini-fridge, coffee machines, and more.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Buy_One\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Should You Buy One?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-138774\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/12\/50e354ba.jpg\" alt=\"Anker 625 and Powerhouse station.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nearly a decade ago, I took some cheap portable solar panels on a kayaking adventure through Leigh Lake in the Grand Tetons national park, and they let me down. An entire day in the sun couldn\u2019t charge my phone more than 10%. With newer technology like the Anker 625, I could have charged everything I wanted in half a day.<\/p>\n<p>So, should you buy one? Well, it depends on your usage scenario. This might be a bit too big and heavy if you need something ultra-portable. But if you\u2019re a doomsday prepper and want products to help you prepare for an emergency, I\u2019d highly recommend the Anker 625. Get one of these if you want to charge anything from a phone or power bank to a massive power station.<\/p>\n<p>Solar panels like the Anker 625 are best suited for someone living the Van life or drive-up and park tent camping. Or to have in storage if you lose power at home. It\u2019s easy to set up on a roof, tabletop, behind your tent, or backyard. Then, it can sit and soak up the sun\u2019s rays all afternoon and give you plenty of power for all sorts of things.<\/p>\n<p>While $329 certainly isn\u2019t cheap, if you need an easy way to get plenty of power, the Anker 625 will give you a relatively stable power supply, whether the sun is shining or hiding behind some clouds. As long as you don\u2019t expect it to be as fast as the wall outlet at home, it\u2019ll get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a great design and solid functionality, I\u2019ll absolutely take the Anker 625 solar panel on my next camping trip or outdoor adventure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fairly lightweight<\/li>\n<li>Portable folding design (and handle)<\/li>\n<li>High 100W output<\/li>\n<li>Scratch and weather-resistant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A bit expensive<\/li>\n<li>Can only charge 2 devices at once<\/li>\n<li>No built-in battery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
