Product Information
Full details
The Ryobi 21W Solar Panel is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and campers who need portable power for small electronic devices. Its primary benefit is providing on-the-go charging directly from sunlight. A caveat is that it requires a clear view of the sky for optimal performance and doesn't include the necessary USB-A to USB-C cable for battery charging. This foldable and lightweight solar panel features two USB-A output ports for charging devices like phones or GPS units. It can also be used with the RY18BI150B battery inverter (sold separately) and a USB-A to USB-C cable to charge RYOBI 18V ONE+ batteries.

Troubleshooting
Device not charging
Ensure the solar panel is in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the panel and the device. Verify the device is compatible with USB-A charging. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out a faulty cable or device.
Slow charging speed
Charging speed is dependent on sunlight intensity. Ensure the panel is angled directly towards the sun. Remove any dirt or debris from the panel surface. Avoid charging during overcast conditions or in shaded areas.
