No disagreement on that point unless we can get a high power solar panel that is light weight. That’s what I’m wondering about with some of the 20W panels (claimed) that are around 500g.
500g for 20W is pretty good. My 3 x 1.1A panel would be about 16.5W output at full capacity and it looks thicker and probably heavier than that one you linked. Similar footprint though.
I double-checked too and the power bank I'm using is actually 26000 mAh. That's alot of capacity, the size is reasonable but it is fairly dense and heavy.
