Dark Energy Spectre 8W Folding Solar Panel, Gray

Day three of a backcountry elk hunt, and your phone, which doubles as your map and your camera, is down to a sliver of battery. The Dark Energy Spectre 8W solar panel is built for that moment. It lets you pull power from the sun instead of rationing what you packed in.

This folding solar panel uses CIGS solar technology, which Dark Energy chose for flexibility and efficiency. It folds down for carry, so it fits a hunting pack or day bag without much fuss, then opens up when you stop for lunch or set up camp.

You get two ways to plug in. A USB-C port and a USB-A port are each rated at 8W and 1.6A, so you can charge newer USB-C gear or an older USB-A device with the cable you already carry.

Dark Energy designed the Spectre for outdoor use and for reliable performance in a range of conditions. It comes in gray.

If you spend long days away from an outlet, whether on a multi-day hunt, a scouting trip or a weekend at a remote camp, the Dark Energy Spectre 8W solar panel gives you a simple, packable way to keep your small electronics running.
