Description
KNOG - PWR SOLAR PANEL
The PWR Solar 10W panel is our latest addition to the PWR range, our modular and interchangeable system of products designed for rugged outdoor exploration, whether it be on bike or on foot.
The PWR Solar is packed with intelligent features that make this solar unit quite unlike anything else available at this price point in the market right now.
Intelligent dual function LEDs
4 conveniently located LEDs on the top of the unit perform dual display functions.
When the LEDs display on steady they are measuring the quality of the available sunlight which allows for placement to ensure optimum sunlight capture.
When the LED’s are flashing they are indicating the rate at which your device is charging, with the unit only delivering the level of charge that a device requires.
Compact and Lightweight
The smart concertina design of the PWR Solar 10W means that when not in use it folds into a small compact unit that is not much larger than a smartphone. Weighing in at 450g, this small compact unit can fit easily into pannier bags or secure jacket pockets.
With smartly placed magnets this solar unit packs up easily when not in use. These same magnets can also be used to add positioning of the panels on a metal object.
Access your solar generated power using a standard USB connection. When not in use simply seal it shut using the soft touch rubber access flap and your solar unit will be water resistant to a rating of IP65.
Premium Solar Cells and Intelligent Chip Technology
Not all solar cells give an equal performance, with a huge difference in various cells efficiencies. Knog’s decision to use Sunpower Maxeon Gen 5 panels featuring Monocrystalline cells allows for high module efficiency. These are the same cells that are used by NASA.
Through Knog’s use of advanced integrated chip technology, the PWR Solar 10W panels can detect improving solar conditions and automatically re-start the charging process to allow the device that is being charged to draw the optimum charging current, creating the most efficient charging in any given conditions.
Durable and rugged
Every aspect of PWR Solar 10W has been designed with adventure in mind. As such, the entire unit is coated with ETFE, which is considered the leading industrial coating offering unparalleled protection from heat, water, salt, oil and dirt.
The charger also has a handy D-ring attachment, which allows for convenient and secure storage or premium placement for maximum sun absorption.
Multi-Device Charging
The PWR Solar 10W panel perfectly unites the entire Knog PWR range, allowing explorers to find their freedom in the great outdoors with an endless supply of renewable energy. Ideally suited to charge small, medium or large sized PWR Banks (not included), as PWR banks are the stable way to charge any device. This powerful solar unit is also ideal for charging phones, smart watches, tablets or Go-Pros.
SPECS
This powerful solar unit is ideal for charging PWR Banks, phones, smart watches, tablets or Go-Pros, for all of your on- and off-bike adventures.

Brilliant Little Charger
Excellent small foldable charger to keep me charged up when off grid. Very impressed with size and weight. I have rigged up straps to secure it on my backpack when hiking, wish it had an extra loop built in, but its a great device.

Part missing from first use.
The magnet on the bay door went missing the first time I used it. Didn’t even know how it came off but apparently it does not affect the performance, just the water proofing aspects of the part the magnet is supposed to hold the door shut. The team is marvellous, however to right this would entail returning the unit to the seller, or to send it to Knog Australia. The former would take time (unfortunately I needed to use it for my hike the week after it arrived), the latter was prohibitive as the freight to AU was simply too costly.
Overall it charges as it should do, it is aesthetically pleasing, light to carry and can charge my iphone 12 pro max from 20% to 80% from morning to just about afternoon (total 7.5 hours). Not bad vonsidering I am harnessing the energy from the Sun. I carry a 20,000mah portable battery the same.
