Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?

That charges a phone just fine?

I use a smaller panel to charge a battery at a summer cottage. That keeps my and a few other people’s phones charged pretty alright.

Not worthwhile if you’re carrying it around all day.

  Why? You can carry your phone and charge it at the same time.

    Why do you need to charge your phone during the day anyway? Does it not last a full day?

    Modern smartphones are terrible for energy consumption tbh, if you just want calls/SMS an old Nokia is so much more energy efficient.
    
    I suppose turning the phone off can help save, but how many people could even comprehend that these days?
