Discover the rapidly developing trend of solar power for power bank charging. From outdoor adventures to the eco-friendly nature lover, learn which models to consider stocking for your customers this summer.

Solar power banks are a blend of an eco-friendly and a convenient piece of technology that still allows you to access your phone in non-traditional environments. Some use solar charger power banks as an emergency backup device, while others use them for their outdoor online influencing careers. TVCMALL has kept up with the solar charger power bank trend, which is predicted to come on strong this summer. Let's explore why they're trending and which models are up to snuff with consumer needs.
Solar panel-based charging devices can often be considered "gimmicky" to some. Solar panels convert everyday sunlight into direct current through photovoltaic cells, thus charging the power bank. There has to be a level of balance between the number of solar cells and the capacity of the power bank. Otherwise, the bank never charges enough to actually power your device efficiently.
Solar power is an incredibly renewable resource that can harness a lot of electricity when done correctly. Solar chargers and power banks are useful tools to include in a go-bag, outdoor kit, or just to take to the beach to stay connected on your mobile device. Some other situations where a solar power charger is useful, and sometimes necessary include:
- Camping
- Thru-hiking
- Outdoor influencing lifestyles
- Natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes leave hundreds without access to generators or a power grid
- Eco-conscious consumers who want to minimize their dependence on the electrical grid
Combine the need to balance the number of solar cells, power bank capacity, and manufacturer recommendations to not leave power banks in the heat for extended periods of time due to negatively affecting battery life, and you have a bit of a quandary of which solar power banks are best, and which should I stock this summer?
When consumers consider purchasing a solar power bank, they typically want one that can meet these needs:
- Durability: Depending on the environment in which the consumer is going to use it. It needs to hold up to wind, rain, and even dust if it's going to be outside.
- Efficiency: Inefficient solar panel chargers can take hours, if not days, to fully charge their power bank enough to charge a device efficiently, and many consumers aren't going to use a device that takes 12+ hours to charge.
- Size and weight: Some consumers might not take these features into consideration as much as others. As a mobile phone accessory business, you'll find that those who do extensive outdoor activities like hiking and camping, especially those who do those overnight, will want lighter and more compact power banks that take less energy to carry.
