I believe this is the same item as the AllPowers 80-watt foldable solar panel, as the charge controller on mine says “AllPowers” even though the outside fabric say Giaride. I saw a comment somewhere that both companies’ solar panels are made at the same factory. First, I’ve noticed in some of the reviews that people were having problems with the 12v/19v DC output from the charge controller. The specs say that this is a DC5521 output. This means that the DC output is for a 5.5mm inside diameter outer barrel and a 2.1mm diameter inner plug. The spec is wrong, as the DC output is a DC5525, meaning that it’s measurements are 5.5mm and 2.5mm, respectively. I double checked that this was true with my micrometer. Adapters between the two sizes are available on desertcart. Second, the cigarette lighter plug provided is the male end. This makes no sense to me, as one doesn’t want to charge the solar panel. So you’ll need to buy the cigarette lighter female end if you want to charge other items with the 12/19 volt output. Make sure it is a 5525 connection or buy the adaptor to use a 5521 connection. Third, I used my multimeter to check the output of the solar panel and compared the results to a 5 year old 40-watt foldable solar panel that I am replacing. For the test, I used a TES 1333 Solar Power Meter to determine the light intensity. The light intensity when I ran my test was 1,050 watts/square meter (the meter and solar panel were both at the same inclination to the sun) which is very close the 1,000 watts/square meter that is used to standardize the output measurement of solar panels. For the Giaride, I measured an output at the DC connection of 22.46 volt & 3.46 amps for a total of ~77.7 watts, which is very close to the advertised 80 watts; for my old 40 watt solar foldable solar panel, I measured an output at the DC connection of 19.0 volts & 2.2 amps for a total of ~41.8 watts, which is also very close to what it was rated. Fourth, I tested the 5 volt usb outputs on my tablet and got an output of 4.9 volts & 1.05 amps for 5 watts. I then tested it through the dc output to a 12 volt factory Samsung cigarette adaptor and got an output of 5.3 volts & 1.63 amps for 8.64 watts. I got the same result with a wall charger as the 12 volt adaptor. I then ran this same test on a couple of backup batteries that I have that also have 12 volt dc outputs and 5 volt USB outputs. These batteries performed about about exactly the same as the Giaride solar charger for both the 5 volt and 12/19 volt outputs. So if you want to minimize your charge time it’s probably best to charge through a 12 volt adaptor. If charging as quickly as possible isn’t critical, I’m sure the 5 volt USB outputs are fine. Fifth, I measured the area of the 12 Giaride solar panels at ~0.397 square meters and measured my old 40 watt panel at ~0.278 square meters. Calculating the efficiency of the panels using my data, I arrived at an efficiency of ~18.6% for the Giaride and ~14.3% for my old solar panels. The efficiency value of the older panel, I believe, is typical for panels of that time, and while that 18.6 percent efficiency for the Giaride was below the advertised value, it is still significantly better than my old panel. Sixth, I weighed the Gliaride solar panel at 3lb 10oz/ 1.65kg; I weighed my old solar panel at 6lbs 3oz/ 2.8kg. Both are dimensionally pretty similar. Bottom line is that I get 185 percent of the power at 40 percent less weight and approximately the same volume with my new Giaride over my 5 year old solar panels. Review: Good Charge - I haven't used it a lot yet, but plan on using it at outdoor craft shows I do to charge my portable battery pack. I was surprised that it charged my phone on a hazy day, when the sun wasn't bright. The one drawback is the pouch on the inside is too small. If you put all the assessories in it, you can't fold it up. So I have to figure out something to keep it all together and not lose anything. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072KD4XCD | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (145) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.97 pounds | | Item model number | APXTDYL-170612-SPF-18v80w | | Manufacturer | GiarideDirect | | Package Dimensions | 13.07 x 6.54 x 3.78 inches | ## Images ![GIARIDE Foldable Solar Panel USB/DC Solar Panel Charger 18V Portable Solar Panel 80W for Laptop Solar Battery Charger for Camping Portable Solar Panels for Rv Portable Solar Charger for Car Battery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iI+CIXnBL.jpg) ![GIARIDE Foldable Solar Panel USB/DC Solar Panel Charger 18V Portable Solar Panel 80W for Laptop Solar Battery Charger for Camping Portable Solar Panels for Rv Portable Solar Charger for Car Battery - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yJFhqoLHL.jpg) ![GIARIDE Foldable Solar Panel USB/DC Solar Panel Charger 18V Portable Solar Panel 80W for Laptop Solar Battery Charger for Camping Portable Solar Panels for Rv Portable Solar Charger for Car Battery - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dgV426VdL.jpg) ![GIARIDE Foldable Solar Panel USB/DC Solar Panel Charger 18V Portable Solar Panel 80W for Laptop Solar Battery Charger for Camping Portable Solar Panels for Rv Portable Solar Charger for Car Battery - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612HbdsAvCL.jpg) ![GIARIDE Foldable Solar Panel USB/DC Solar Panel Charger 18V Portable Solar Panel 80W for Laptop Solar Battery Charger for Camping Portable Solar Panels for Rv Portable Solar Charger for Car Battery - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51CqkoaIQeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 185 percent more power at 40 percent less weight of my 5 year old foldable solar panel *by A***R on June 11, 2018* This is a review of the Giaride 80-watt foldable solar charger.

I tested with a meter after arrival and it performed very well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49792919-giaride-foldable-solar-panel-usb-dc-solar-panel-charger-18v](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49792919-giaride-foldable-solar-panel-usb-dc-solar-panel-charger-18v) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
